Question
“Delegation of authority and accountability go in opposite direction”-Explain.
✓

Answer

The delegation of authority takes place from the top level to the bottom level of management.
  • Officers delegate authority to the subordinates, while the accountability moves from the bottom level to the top level management.
  • Executives reduce the workload by delegation but it does not reduce the responsibility.
  • The answerability i.e. the accountability to the superiors for the success or failure of the job delegated lies with the delegator of authority.
  • The chain of accountability moves from employee to supervisor, supervisor to officer, officer to divisional head to general manager.
  • Hence, accountability is considered towards top level from the bottom level of management.
  • Thus, delegation of authority and the accountability go in opposite directions.
