A job structure is the basic overall hierarchy that a company uses to figure out how each position in the company reports to the boss. There are four main types of job structures: departmental, functional, geographical, and business unit.
The best companies for a departmental organisational structure are those with clearly defined department units that focus on growth and expansion in the future. This is the most basic and common type of job structure. Each department usually has a few managers and one executive who is in charge of the whole department.
Smaller companies, usually those with less than 100 employees, are more likely to have functional organisational structures. This structure sets up the company so that each employee knows what their job is and how to do it. This kind of company gives bonuses and promotions to encourage better work.
Companies with regional branches often have structures based on where they are. The good thing about this structure is that each branch can have its own goals. Many times, each branch has its own internal structure, which makes promotions and performance reviews more flexible.
A business unit structure is a special kind of structure that lets each branch focus on a completely different market. Each unit is run by its own executive manager. The president of the company is in charge of this manager.
