Matrix structure is the realisation of two dimensional structure which emanates directly from two dimensions of authority. From which of the two, a is martix structure is created? 

The correct answer is Functional and project.Important Points

• A matrix structure is a combination of two or more organizational structures, such as functional and project management.
• In a matrix structure, employees report to both a functional manager and a project manager.
• The functional manager is responsible for the employee's day-to-day work, while the project manager is responsible for the employee's work on a specific project.

The two dimensions of authority in a matrix structure are -

1. Functional authority - Functional authority is the authority to make decisions about the work of a department or function. Functional managers have functional authority over their employees.
2. Project authority - Project authority is the authority to make decisions about the work of a specific project. Project managers have project authority over the employees assigned to their projects.

• The two-dimensional structure of a matrix structure is created by the intersection of functional authority and project authority.
• This can be visualized as a grid, with functional departments on one axis and projects on the other axis.
• Employees in a matrix structure are located at the intersection of their functional department and the project(s) they are assigned to.
