Delegation of Authority - Meaning, Importance and its Principles

-

Today we are going to discuss the Delegation of Authority, so delegation of authority means the division of authority and power to subordinates downward. It's very common in an organization where a superior delegate his work to his subordinates so, he can focus on more crucial work. Along with the authority, power should also be delegated. What happens with this the subordinates come to know about the work performed by the top-level managers and they learn from them how to perform it. It increases there efficiency and motivates them. The delegation of authority goes downwards from top to bottom. 

Elements of Delegation:

1. Authority.
2. Responsibility.
3. Accountability. 

 These are the element or you can say the process of delegation where the manager gives Responsibility with Authority matching to it and make his subordinate Accountable for non-completion of the task.

According to me, managers need to delegate his work to his subordinate as they can focus on the core objectives of the company and by giving responsibility they make there subordinates future reddy for top-level management. This also improves the relationship between the leader and his team and also boosts up the morale and confidence of the subordinates. It also helps in decision making as the managers come to know about different prospectives of the other members of his group, but one thing has to be taken care of is authority matching to responsibility, not more not less than only work can be accomplished.

Abraham Maslow’s motivation theory is based on human needs. These needs are classified into a sequential hierarchy from the lower to higher-order as five need clusters as shown in the following Figure: 1.  Physiological Needs: These needs are of the lowest-order and most basic needs of human beings. These involve satisfying fundamental biological drives, such as the need for food, air, water, cloth, and shelter generally expressed in the names of Roti, Kapada Aur Makan. An entrepreneur also being a human being has to meet his physiological needs for survival.  2.  Safety and Security Needs: The second level of need in Maslow’s hierarchy has emerged once physiological needs are satisfied.

we should have accepted FDI earlier. China is involved in FDI since 1992. I would say that like two sides of a coin, FDI in the retail sector will also have its pros and cons. Like, if we consider its main advantages, we can say that it will bring modern technology, improve rural infrastructure, create a competitive market, enable our farmers to get better prices for their crops, Government will get an additional US$ 25-30 billion by way of taxes, a solution for food inflation as investments in cold storage chain infrastructure would reduce loss of agricultural products and provide more options to farmers. And some disadvantages could be that we will be competing with such economies whose interest rates are as low a 4% as compared to our 14% to 16%. Also, we engage millions of uneducated and semi-educated people at various stages of retail business but Tesco and Wal-Mart will only engage the smart and educated workforce in small strength, comparatively. Finally, we can say that if
