Product-line management in professional organizations: An empirical test of competing theoretical perspectives

The effects of structure on performance and human resource outcomes of general hospitals are investigated, guided by two competing theoretical perspectives. It was found that neither a product-line nor a functional structure was associated with the performance outcomes of service quality and innovation, however, it was found that product-line structure was negatively associated with the human resources outcomes, professional development and the job satisfaction.
