    Principle of Organizing

    Authority flows down the organizational hierarchy from managers to subordinates. There are three types of authority: line, staff, and functional. Managers delegate authority and responsibility to subordinates to complete tasks. Delegation involves defining the task, selecting the person, communicating expectations, providing support, and monitoring progress. While centralization keeps decision-making power at the top, decentralization delegates more authority to lower levels, allowing for flexibility and faster decision-making closer to operations. Effective decentralization depends on factors like organizational size, history, and rate of change.

    Principle of Organizing

    Authority
    Authority is the formal and legitimate right of a manager to make decisions, issue orders, and allocate resources to achieve organizationally desired outcomes. A manager's authority is defined in his or her job description.

    Organizational authority has three important underlying principles:


    Authority is based on the organizational position, and anyone in the same position has the same authority. Authority is accepted by subordinates. Authority flows down the vertical hierarchy.

    Authority Comes In Three Types


    Line authority Staff authority
    Advisory role Service role Control role

    Functional authority

    Responsibility & Accountability


    Responsibility: The duty to perform task and activity an employee has been assigned Accountability: The fact that the people with authority and responsibility are subject to reporting and justifying task outcomes to those above them in the chain to command.

    Delegation
    Delegation (or deputation) is the assignment of authority and responsibility to another person (normally from a manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific activities

    Steps in Delegation
    Definition Selection Communication Consideration Motivation Questions Progress

    Barriers to Delegation & their Elimination

    1. I can do it better myself 2. My people are just not capable enough 3. It takes too much time to explain what I want done 4. If it goes wrong Ill still be accountable 5. Delegation reduces my own authority 6. Ill be shown up if they do too good a job 7. My people prefer that I make the decisions 8. Team members want to avoid responsibility (at least at work)

    Centralization Vs Decentralization

    Centralization is the process where the authority and power of an organization is in the hands of only a few.
    This power includes activities such as planning, decision-making and delegating authority. The top management takes all the important decisions if an organization is centralized. These decisions are then enforced on the lower tiers of the organization.

    Decentralization
    The delegation of authority at all levels of an organization. A lot of the decision-making is delegated to the lower levels of the organizational structure. The chances of being able to make improvements increases.

    Advantages of Decentralization over Centralization

The increased responsibilities of the lower level managers, increases their enthusiasm for work and acts as a motivator.

    Makes an organization flexible to minor changes.


    The lower level managers have a more in-depth knowledge of the situation, and can hence handle it better.

    Advantages of Centralization over Decentralization
