Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question "To what degree are tasks subdivided into separate jobs?" addresses the issue of work specialization, which refers to the extent to which tasks are divided into separate jobs. Formalization refers to the degree to which rules and procedures are standardized in an organization. Chain of command refers to the line of authority and reporting relationships in the organization. Span of control refers to the number of subordinates a manager can effectively manage. While all of these concepts are important in designing an appropriate organizational structure, work specialization is specifically addressed by this question.
