Hi Aji! What an interesting query you have here. Actually, a job role
is determined by so many factors. The job function might be defined by
the type of industry and size of the company or organization.
Sometimes, even location and culture help to determine the job role
for a certain department or personnel. Furthermore, each department
could have another subdivision and various personnel specifically
assigned to a certain task.
However, there are basic roles for each department. The Administrative
Department for example is in charge or monitoring and managing the
integrity and over-all operations of a company. This department
handles the most important decisions that can affect the company. The
Personnel Department is in charge of monitoring and managing the human
resources of a company, i.e. the number of personnel, job-openings,
personnel benefits, and everything that is related to human resources.
The Marketing Department is the life of a company. It is closely
coordinated with the Sales Department and handles the generation of
income and sourcing of potential clients for the company. The PR
Department is, depending on the company, sometimes under the
supervision of the Marketing Department. The Marketing Department is
responsible for the advertisement, promotions, and over-all image of a
company. The Sales Department is the lifeline of a company. It
directly connects the company to the consumers, or users. This
department does the actual job of transferring the goods and services
to the consumers. The managers see to it that the operations of the
Sales Department generate a steady income for the company. These are
just basic ideas of the roles of each department. Below are some links
