Question

Explain delegation of authority.

✓

Answer

Delegation of authority popularly known as ‘delegation’ is an important part of the organising process. Its need is felt when due to excessive workload on a manager, he is unable to perform all the jobs independently. In this situation, he divides his work among the subordinates. But, just mere division of work does not guarantee success. For the successful work performance, authority should be given to the subordinates to take work-related decisions. Thus, division of work and assigning authority for the successful work performance is called delegation of authority.
