MERITS OR ADVANTAGES OF LINE ORGANISATION
1. Simplicity:
Line organisation is the oldest and simplest form of organisation. The rights, duties and responsibilities of all the employees of an organisation are clearly defined and properly communicated to them. Every employee of the organisation clearly understands his position, so, there is no confusion or misunderstanding at any point.
2. Determination of Responsibility:
As the rights, duties, and responsibilities of all the employees are well defined, every person knows his responsibilities. Therefore, in this form of organisation, responsibility can be determined easily.
3. Flexibility:
As each senior officer has full authority and responsibility for his job, he has a right to make necessary decisions for the performance of his duties. It results in quick decisions and quick implementation of decisions into action.
4. Quick Decisions:
As the authorities are centralised and well-defined, the senior executives can take quick decisions as no other person is to be consulted by them.
5. Easy to Control:
This form of organisation makes the process of control easier and more effective. All the subordinates clearly know to whom they are responsible.
6. Effective Coordination:
As all the activities of a department are under the control of one officer and he is directly responsible for the performance of his department, effective coordination is established through this form of organisation.
7. Proper Discipline:
Unity of command, effective control and coordination develop the feeling of discipline among all the employees and officers of the enterprise.
8. Economy:
Line organisation is economical because overhead expenses are not required for different experts.
