How Do Job Analysis and Organizational Structures Shape Successful Companies?

The Importance of Job Analysis

The process of job analysis is a very important management tool. All successful companies make use of this powerful technique. Explain the process and discuss the uses of job evaluation.

Understanding Organizational Structures

There are several kinds of organizational structures. One of the most common is the functional structure. What are the salient features of it, and what are the basic principles familiar with an organizational structure?

The Importance of Job Evaluation

Job evaluation is very important to select the right person for the right job, monitor the required output within a timeframe, and ensure the expected output. Most companies hardly outline the job description, and confusion starts even at this stage. A precise job description also prevents a person from stepping out of their purview, thus avoiding power dynamics.

I am attaching a Job Content Questionnaire prepared for Valdosta State University, which I believe is beneficial for this purpose. This will be useful for you as well.

Benefits of a Functional Structure

Functional structure is highly effective as the organizational hierarchy is fixed based on the functions performed by individuals, and the structure is not solely determined by the positions they hold. In many industries lacking a functional structure, conflicts between technical and non-technical top executives on minor issues can impede organizational progress. In a functional structure, importance is placed on individuals carrying out important and pivotal roles, and the hierarchy is structured accordingly. Therefore, the fundamental principle in a functional structure is to arrange the Organization Chart (OC) according to functional importance.
