%X This study focused on justification of organisation¡¯s structure for strategy implementation. The study sought to evaluate the implication of job enrichment and job specification in public sector organisations, analyze the justification for job specification and job description in public sector organisations, determine the implication of environmental influence on organizational structure, and determine the organisation's purpose, mission and objectives. The study was descriptive and was carried out primarily through interview of employees in three public sector organizations in Nigeria. Secondary data which were mainly qualitative were obtained through books and journals. Findings indicated that job enrichment increases worker's involvement and interest in their job while job simplification reduces efficiency and makes employees demotivated and unhappy. Job specification identifies the qualification of an individual to a particular job while job description identifies the tasks, duties, and activities required in a particular job. Job description could be used to develop a fair and comprehensive compensation and reward system. However, the study recommended that efficiency can further be realized in as much as functional organizations integrate their activities vertically so that products are sold and distributed quickly at a low costs.
