HRPA CHRP-KE Exam - Topic 1 Question 1 Discussion
Topic #: 1
An organization's goal is to include more employees in the decision-making process. Which of the following organizational structures should it implement?
In the HRPA Human Resources Competency Framework (Functional Domain: Organizational Effectiveness), HR professionals must understand organizational design principles, including decision-making authority and structural configuration.
Decentralized Structure:
Distributes decision-making authority to lower organizational levels.
Encourages employee participation, innovation, and faster responsiveness.
Extract:
''Decentralized structures promote shared decision-making and empowerment, enhancing engagement and adaptability.''
(HRPA Competency Framework -- Organizational Effectiveness, CHRP Level, Key Competency: Support Organizational Design and Development)
Formalized Structure: Emphasizes rules and procedures; limits flexibility.
Small Span of Control: Involves close supervision but does not necessarily increase decision participation.
Departmentalized: Groups employees by function or product; not related to decision-making inclusion.
Thus, A. Decentralized is the correct answer.
