hierarchy

Structure consisting of different levels of authority in, for example, a business organization, one above the other. At the top of the hierarchy of a company, for example, is the chair and at the bottom is the shop-floor worker. Each worker in the hierarchy should have a job description that clearly sets out his or her duties and position within it.
