How does span of control impact managerial effectiveness? A) It determines the number of employees a manager supervises B) It eliminates the need for supervision C) It reduces decision-making authority D) It increases bureaucratic complexity
A) It determines the number of employees a manager supervises.
The span of control refers to the number of subordinates that a manager supervises directly. A wider span of control means a manager oversees more employees, which can impact managerial effectiveness by spreading attention too thinly or fostering better employee autonomy. Conversely, a narrower span allows for more detailed guidance and oversight, potentially improving team performance.
