(A) Expensive:
This type of organisation is very expensive because a large number of specialists
are appointed. The persons being experts in their fields, they demand higher emoluments. Therefore,
small and medium concerns cannot afford line and staff organisation because of its expensive nature.

The line officers become habituated for advice on staff. They refer
everying to staff for advice. Over-dependence on staff will make line officers less creative. They will
not give much thought to any activity since advice will be available from staff.
(C) Ineffective Staff:
The staff officers donot wield any power in the organisation. Without power
they will not get prestige in the organisation. They will fell unimportant and the quality of advice will
also be adversely affected.

There is a possibility of conflict between line and
staff personnel. The responsibility for operations lies with line officers while staff officers only advice.
The staff officers feel ignored at the hands of line officers. The line
officers, on the other hand,
complain of interference by staff persons in the day-to-day working. The comflict between line and
staff officials adversely affects the work in the organisation.
