LINE STAFF FUNCTIONAL AUTHORITY
LINE AUTHORITY:
The most fundamental authority
within an organization, reflects existing superior-subordinate relationships.
It consists of the right to make decisions and to give order concerning the
production, sales or finance related behavior of subordinates.
In general, line authority pertains
to matters directly involving management system production, sales, finance
etc., and as a result with the attainment of objectives.
People directly responsible for
these areas within the organization are delegated line authority to assist them
in performing their obligatory activities.
STAFF AUTHORITY:
Staff authority consists of the
right to advise or assist those who possess line authority as well as other
staff personnel.
Staff authority enables those
responsible for improving the effectiveness of line personnel to perform their
required tasks.
FUNCTIONAL AUTHORITY:
Functional authority consists of
the right to give orders within a segment of the organization in which this
right is normally non existent.
This authority is usually
assigned to individuals to complement the line or staff authority they already
possess.
Functional Authority generally
covers only specific task areas and is operational only for designated amounts
of time. It is given to individuals who, in order to meet responsibilities in
their own areas, must be able to exercise some control over organization
members in other areas.
