I ..--0 the @ tlicoU u I New Headfarters/Field Structure Could Provide A Better Framework For Improving Department Of Energy Operations DOE's organization structure could be improv- ed to provide a better framework for effec- tively and efficiently responding to and accom- plishing departmental requirements. Under its current organization structure, many head- quarters program and functional managers do not have authority to direct and control the field staffs who implement their program and functional requirements. By providing these managers with direct lines of authority over their respective field staffs, they should not only have authority commensurate with their responsibility, but should be more account- able and able to hold field staff more account- able for achieving their goals and objectives. GAO recognizes that many of the problems identified in this report may not be entirely attributable to the organization structure. In many instances improved management prac- tices are needed. Nonetheless, when the audit examples and questionnaire results are con- sidered collectively, GAO believes they clear- ly demonstrate that the direct line authority organization structure is superior and warrants serious consideration by the Department. , 116520 E M D-81-97 SEPTEMBER 3, 1981 L-5/ Y Z-P
