As far as I know a matrix organization normally means a two dimensional one, with two bosses. You're totally right that all those functions exist and influence your work, but I don't think it is normal to call them bosses.
- nradov 10y agoIn most matrix organizations regardless of dimensionality each employee still has only one formal manager who deals with raises, career development, and disciplinary actions. The other "bosses" such as project managers aren't officially considered managers in that sense, although the employee may be accountable to them for certain things.
- sytse 10y agoI agree they have one formal boss but I thought that in practise they had one other person they reported to for their day to day work and results.
