CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  • GENERAL INTRODUCTION

In an organization the art of job delegation is to agree no clear terms of reference with subordinate to give necessary job and responsibility  and then to monitor their performance with undue interference. Or the continual checking of their work. It is important to make sure that subordinates accept the extent of it and any restrictions on the delegation and responsibility given to them.

According to Davis (2001) that said job delegation requires a clear understanding of job, perception, reliance no other people, confidence, trust and courage. He also added that it is important that the manager chooses the right subordinates to whom to delegate job and responsibility.

In the other hand, if there is any universal mark of a manger, it is that of delegation of job. Managerial life is a perpetual challenge of choosing between available alternatives, the manager is forever be set by the necessity to make a choice between alternatives, the outcome of which is definitely not known.

Koontz and Weigh rich (2003) explains this as follows, that although job gives people power and money to act officially within the scope of their delegation, this power becomes somehow meaningless unless those affected accepted it and respond to it.
