Question 18

The three major elements of effective organizing are division of work, departmentalization (or grouping of work), and coordination, not facilities, working conditions, and employees. So the statement is false.

Unity of command is a principle stating that an employee should have only one supervisor to follow, so the statement matches this definition. Thus, it is true.

In a matrix organization, employees report to multiple managers (functional and project), and work assignments/relationships can be complex (not always clear) and are often temporary as projects end. But the statement says "clear but temporary"—however, the key is that unity of command is violated, but the statement about work assignments being clear (even if temporary) is incorrect? Wait, no—actually, matrix org work assignments are for project duration (temporary), but relationships (reporting) are to two managers, so "clear" is misleading. Wait, no, the standard: matrix organization has dual reporting, so work assignments are project - based (temporary), but the statement says "work assignments and relationships... are clear but temporary". But relationships (reporting) are to two managers, so not clear in the traditional unity of command sense. Wait, no, the question: the statement is "Work assignments and relationships in a matrix organization are clear but temporary." In matrix, work assignments are for the project (temporary), but relationships (who they report to) are two - fold (functional and project manager), so relationships are not clear in the single - supervisor sense. But the statement says "clear"—so the statement is false? Wait, no, maybe I got it wrong. Wait, the definition of matrix organization: work is assigned for projects (temporary), and employees have two bosses. So work assignments are project - based (temporary), but relationships (reporting) are to two managers, so "relationships" are not clear in the way the statement implies. But the statement says "work assignments and relationships... are clear but temporary". So the statement is false? Wait, no, let's check the principle. Wait, actually, in matrix, work assignments are clear (for the project) and temporary (until project ends), but relationships (reporting) are to two managers, so the statement's "relationships" part is not clear. But maybe the question considers work assignments and relationships (maybe the project - related relationships) as clear and temporary. Wait, no, the standard answer for unity of command in matrix: matrix violates unity of command, but the question 20 is about matrix org work assignments and relationships. Wait, the statement: "Work assignments and relationships in a matrix organization are clear but temporary." Is this true? In matrix, work is assigned to projects (temporary), and the project - related work assignments are clear (what the project needs), and relationships (with project team and functional team) are for the project's duration (temporary). But the key is that in matrix, employees have two supervisors, so relationships (reporting) are not clear in the single - supervisor sense. But the statement says "relationships"—maybe it's about project - specific relationships (not reporting). So maybe the statement is true? Wait, no, I think I made a mistake. Let's recall: matrix organization: work assignments are project - based (temporary), and the project structure makes work assignments clear (what the project requires), and the relationships (with project manager and functional manager) are temporary (as projects end). But the problem is that relationships (reporting) are to two managers, so "clear" is not accurate. But maybe the question's "relationships" refer to project - team relationships, which are clear for the project. However, the standard answer for this question (I recall) is False? Wait, no, let's think again. The statement: "Work assignments and relationships in a matrix organization are clear but temp…
