Answer:

Line and staff structure

Line and staff structure is an organisational structure where we have line managers that set up goals and directives that are now executed by staff assigned to the line managers.

This is usually used in large organisations and is aimed maintaining managerial authority.

A breakdown of this structure is:

- Line function is the core directive of a manager according to his own departmental goals.

- Staff function is one that supports the line manager with specialised advisory and support functions.
