Guidance and Counseling

1. Differentiate Line Organization from Staff Organization, which do you think is

better? Explain your answer.

Staff and line are names given to different types of functions in

organizations. A "line function" is one that directly advances an organization in its
core work. This always includes production and sales, and sometimes also
marketing. A "staff function" supports the organization with specialized advisory
and support functions. For example, human resources, accounting, public
relations and the legal department are generally considered to be staff functions.
Both terms originated in the military.

guidance office?
3. In the organization of a guidance program why is it vital to study the
community?
