Today, employers are using employees more and more in a matrixed environment. What does that mean? How can we contend with the various stressors in such an environment? How do we manage expectations up for various projects?

Solution

Matrix environment is organizational structure in which people with similar skills are pooled for work assignments; they have to work under more than one manager in different project.

All engineers come under engineering department manager but some time they are asked to work under some other department managers. Therefore, each engineer may have to work under several managers to get their job done.

One can contend with various stressors in such an environment by a proper training given for the work they are going to perform and creating a healthy environment for working.

We can manage expectations up for various projects by properly setting the realistic goals for project and give them training of what is required for the project.
