41. _____ refers to the degree to which work units are grouped based on functional similarity or similarity of work flow. 
A. Departmentalization
B. Centralization
C. Decentralization
D. Work-flow analysis

Departmentalization refers to the degree to which work units are grouped based on functional similarity or similarity of work flow. It is one among the two most critical dimensions of organization structure along with centralization.

 

 

42. What kind of a structure combines a work-flow departmentalization scheme with relatively low levels of centralization? 
A. Mechanistic structure
B. Divisional structure
C. Functional structure
D. Centralized structure

Divisional structures combine a divisional departmentalization scheme with relatively low levels of centralization. Units in these structures act almost like separate, self-sufficient, semi-autonomous organizations.

 

 

43. Which type of structure can result in employees having a weak conceptualization of the organization’s overall mission? 
A. Mechanistic structure
B. Divisional structure
C. Functional structure
D. Centralized structure

Functional departmentalization due a functional structure leads to individual units specialization wherein members of a unit may have a weak conceptualization of the overall organization mission.

 

 

44. Divisional structures are most appropriate: 
A. when flexibility is required.
B. when the environment is stable and predictable.
C. when coordination requirements between jobs can be refined and standardized.
D. when jobs are highly specialized.

Divisional structures help support organizations that compete on differentiation or innovation, because flexible responsiveness is central to making differentiation or innovation as a strategy work.

 

 

45. Self-cannibalization is a concern of which one of the following structures? 
A. Functional
B. Divisional
C. Project-based
D. Team-based

Divisional structures can “self-cannibalize” if the gains achieved in one unit come at the expense of another unit.

 

 

46. Which among the following is a drawback of the functional structure? 
A. Lack of coordination
B. Cascading effect of errors through the system as a whole
C. Redundancy
D. Possibility of rogue units

In a functional system because of an overly centralized setup, errors tend to cascade through the system as a whole more quickly and can, therefore, be more debilitating.

 

 

47. The choice of structure has implications for employees. In functional and centralized structures: 
A. managers need to be more experienced relative to managers in divisional structures.
B. managers need to be more sensitive to individual differences between workers.
C. employees tend to think of fairness in terms or rules and procedures.
D. managers need to be high in cognitive ability relative to managers in divisional structures.

Nature of the structure has implications on relationships. In centralized and functional structures people tend to think of fairness in terms or rules and procedures, whereas in decentralized and divisional structures, they tend to think of fairness in terms of outcomes and how they are treated interpersonally.

 

 

48. Identifying the most qualified applicants for employment refers to: 
A. career planning.
B. human resource planning.
C. training.
D. selection.

Human resource selection identifies the most qualified applicants for employment. This information is gained through job analysis.

 

 

49. In _____, planners analyze an organization’s human resource needs in a dynamic environment and develop activities that enable a firm to adapt to change. 
A. human resource planning
B. work-flow analysis
C. selection
D. recruitment

The Planning process requires accurate information about the levels of skill required in various jobs to ensure that enough individuals are available in the organization to meet the human resource needs of the strategic plan.

 

 

50. When job analysis information is used to judge the relative dollar value of each job within an organization, this HR activity is termed: 
A. performance evaluation.
B. training and development.
C. job evaluation.
D. work redesign.

The process of job evaluation involves assessing the relative dollar value of each job to the organization to set up internally equitable pay structures.
