Organising

Easy

The concept where subordinates perform tasks on behalf of the manager reducing his/her workload and providing more time to the manager to concentrate on important matters. This is called:

Accountability

Delegation

Decentralisation

Centralisation

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Accountability refers to being answerable and responsible for one's actions and decisions, not the transfer of tasks to reduce workload.

Option 2 -> Delegation is the process where managers assign tasks and authority to subordinates to perform work on their behalf, reducing their workload and allowing focus on strategic matters.

Option 3 -> Decentralisation is the systematic distribution of authority across various levels in the entire organization, not just task assignment by one manager.

Option 4 -> Centralisation is the concentration of decision-making authority at the top management level, opposite to distributing tasks.

Hence, Option 2: Delegation -> This is the correct answer because delegation specifically describes the process where a manager transfers specific tasks and responsibilities to subordinates while retaining overall accountability. This reduces the manager's routine workload and frees up time to focus on more important strategic and managerial matters. -> correct
