Justification Of Organisations’ Structure For Strategy Implementation

Abstract

This study focused on justification of organisation’s structure for strategy
implementation. The study sought to evaluate the implication of job enrichment
and job specification in public sector organisations, analyze the justification for
job specification and job description in public sector organisations, determine
the implication of environmental influence on organizational structure, and
determine the organisation's purpose, mission and objectives. The study was
descriptive and was carried out primarily through interview of employees in
three public sector organizations in Nigeria. Secondary data which were mainly
qualitative were obtained through books and journals. Findings indicated that
job enrichment increases worker's involvement and interest in their job while job
simplification reduces efficiency and makes employees demotivated and unhappy.
Job specification identifies the qualification of an individual to a particular job
while job description identifies the tasks, duties, and activities required in a
particular job. Job description could be used to develop a fair and comprehensive
compensation and reward system. However, the study recommended that
efficiencies can further be realized in as much as functional organizations
integrate their activities vertically so that products are sold and distributed
quickly at a low costs.
