Answer to Question 1

A person in a line position has direct responsibility for achieving the organization's goals and objectives. An employee in a staff position assists those in a line position. These terms can help employees to identify which individuals have the authority and responsibility to fulfill the organization's mandates. Line and staff relationships clarify an organization's structure. The terms are still used today in many organizations to help employees identify individuals who have the authority and responsibility for fulfilling the organization's mandate.

Answer to Question 2

Affirmative action is an important aspect of recruiting and includes all activities designed to ensure and increase equal employment opportunities for groups protected by federal laws and regulations. A significant law in this area is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids employment discrimination on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, or national origin.
