Line and staff personell within an organization.? - Jan Douwe - 04-08-2014 04:27 AM
I would like to find out if the answer community on Yahoo actually works. Therefore do I have a question that I want to have answered. What is the difference between line and staff positions within an organization? Could someone please explain this term for me with maybe one or two examples?

"Line" organizations are those directly involved in getting the "product" out the door (e.g., engineering, manufacturing, shipping/receiving) and "staff" organizations are those that support the organization (HR, finance, facilities, IT, legal). Some organizational elements could be placed in either category (e.g., purchasing) depending on the specific organization.
