Medium

Which of the following are the elements of delegation?

(A) Unity of Direction

(B) Authority

(C) Responsibility

(D) Accountability

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> Includes Unity of Direction which is a principle of management, not an element of delegation.

Option 2 -> Includes Unity of Direction which is not part of delegation; it's a principle stating one head and one plan for activities with the same objective.

Option 3 -> Includes all four items including Unity of Direction, which is incorrect as it's not an element of delegation.

Option 4 -> Correctly identifies the three essential elements of delegation: Authority (right to make decisions), Responsibility (duty to perform tasks), and Accountability (answerability for outcomes).

Hence, Option 4: (B), (C) and (D) only -> Delegation consists of three core elements: Authority (power to act), Responsibility (obligation to perform), and Accountability (answerability for results). Unity of Direction is a principle of management by Henri Fayol, not an element of delegation. -> correct
