Functions are generally divided into: professional functions, which are directly related to the work content and objectives, and must have specific work ability in order to effectively achieve the work objectives. Management function refers to the specific job-related abilities that a supervisor needs for a specific position or role, such as grass-roots supervisor, middle supervisor or senior manager.
Functional department refers to the department in the organization that plans, organizes and directs the power of subordinate units. According to whether they have administrative command, functional departments can be divided into two types. One is the functional system (multi-line system), that is, functional departments have the right to issue work tasks or work instructions to subordinate units, which is a typical government department, such as the National Development and Reform Commission and the Price Bureau. The second is the linear functional system, that is, functional departments cannot directly issue administrative orders to subordinate units, and they need the consent of * * * and the supervisor. Functional departments only have the right to suggest, guide and coordinate. The functional departments of most enterprises belong to the second situation, such as human resources department, enterprise development department and general manager's office.
