Which of the following is not an element of delegation?

A

C

D

Solution

Delegation involves following three elements:

The first step in delegation is the assignment of work or duty to the subordinate i.e. delegation of authority. The superior asks his subordinate to perform a particular task in a given period of time. It is the description of the role assigned to the subordinate. Duties in terms of functions or tasks to be performed constitute the basis of delegation process.
2. Grant of Authority:
The grant of authority is the second element of delegation. The delegator grants authority to the subordinates so that the assigned task is accomplished. The delegation of responsibility with authority is meaningless. The subordinate can only accomplish the work when he has the authority required for completing that task.
3. Creation of Accountability:
Accountability is the obligation of a subordinate to perform the duties assigned to him. The delegation creates an obligation on the subordinate to accomplish the task assigned to him by the superior. When a work is assigned and authority is delegated then the accountability is the by-product of this process.

Question 4
1 / -0

Solution

The delegation of authority allows for concentration of time on more important activities in an organisation. Further, it provides a sense of responsibility, a chance to grow and exercise initiatives to whom the authority is delegated.
One important point to remember is that transfer of authority from a superior to a subordinates does not mean a transfer of accountability. Interestingly, the accountability for the tasks still resides with the superiors. Effectively, delegation involves the distribution of authority for less important jobs to subordinates accompanied by no transfer of accountability.
