In functional organization all activities are categorized and grouped together according to the function performed like production, marketing, finance and personnel. And a specialist is arranged to organize these functions. That is that specialist performs each function of his category in the organization. For each category of functions a special division is formed and the authority flows functionally to the head of that division. Entire division reports to the head who is a specialist in performing the functions of that division. The main purpose of this structure is to place specialists in the line positions. Functional organization is based on the division categorized by means of the functions of its own specialization and has all the advantages of that specialization. Any executive of the division need not perform work outside the division of their specialization and are offered expert counsel in the performance of their duties. But if sharp lines are absent the effectiveness of managerial control, coordination and discipline will be damaged. The status of human resource manager varies from organization to organization depending on the type of organizational structure they follow. The human resource manager has direct control over the employment officer, training officer, wage officer and welfare officer. Each officer has the direct authority over those working under them. The human resource manager has a line authority in his department and is directly accountable to chief executive.
