Identify the type of organisational structure which facilitates occupational specialisation.

Functional structure

The correct answer is option 4- functional structure.

Grouping of jobs of similar nature under functional and organising these major functions as separate departments creates a functional structure. All departments report to a coordinating head. A functional structure is an organisational design that groups similar or related jobs together. A functional structure leads to occupational specialisation since emphasis is placed on specific functions. This promotes efficiency in utilisation of manpower as employees perform similar tasks within a department and are able to improve performance.
