INTRODUCTION
Administration is the process of coordinating and facilitating the work of people in
organizations. People, formally and informally organise themselves as members different
organisations in a polity. Each organisation is a battle ground for different interest groups in
the society. This is mainly due to scarcity of resources and limited options available in the
environment. This leads to a situation where people are more concerned about who gets
what, when and how in an organisation; rather than the organisational purpose.
As Pfiffner and Sherwood put it, "here is where the basic values of the
organisation are involved; and here is where the struggle for control, power and authority is
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011

at its lowest." Therefore, it is of paramount importance to study the concepts of authority
and responsibility to understand the administrative dynamics and processes in
organisations. The modem thinking about public officials is that the ultimate control is
internal. It is a feeling of self-responsibility in a person. A study of such factors help the
students of administration to understand the public bureaucracy and its role in a democratic
state.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Acc.to Julie wulfPerformance incentives vary by decision-making authority of division managers. Fordivision managers with broader authority, i.e., those designated as corporate officers, boththe sensitivity of pay to global performance measures and the relative importance of globalto local measures are larger, relative to non-officers. There is no difference in sensitivity ofpay to local measures by officer status. These results support theories suggestingthat authority over project selection combined with incentives designed to maximize firmperformance, as well as induce effort for the division, are important in incentive design fordivision managers.

Acc. to Rhyns Andrew,George Boyne,Jennifer law and Richard M.walker.They tested the separate and joint effects of centralization and organizational
strategy on the performance of 53 UK public service organizations. Centralization is

measured as both the hierarchy of authority and the degree of participation in decisionmaking, whereas strategy is measured as the extent to which service providers areprospectors, defenders, and reactors. They found that centralization has no independenteffect on service performance, even when controlling for prior performance, serviceexpenditure, and external constraints. However, the impact of centralization is contingenton the strategic orientation of organizations.

A study of the implementation of the balanced scorecard in a large localgovernment authority is reported. Based on interview data, the factors that were perceivedby senior managers to be important to the success or failure of the implementation areanalysed. It is determined that scorecard measures were not effectively cascaded down tolower levels of the organization. Various inter-related problems of leadership, training,feedback, employee empowerment and weak incentive schemes combined to causecommunication difficulties which prevented the cascading problem from being effectively
addressed.

The implementation of performance management in Brazil has faced several challenges.Brazilian bureaucracy is yet far from the requirements advocated by the performancemanagement doctrine, which calls for more focus on results and increased managerialauthority as previously implemented in countries such as Australia, New Zealand and theUnitedKingdom. The current system has a low focus on results and low managerialauthority caused by administrative restrictions over humanresources. This article analyzes
the outcome of such attempts, and gives a final recommendation on how the countryshould implement changes towards real performance management.

With the development of the modern corporation, corporate boards have been
the locus of corporate authority, and particularly since the 1980s, boards and
their performance have been under intense scrutiny. Nevertheless, corporate
law has not developed a consistent theory for what boards are supposed to do;
instead, it sends mixed messages about the functions and expectations of
boards and the appropriate people to sit on them. The HP saga illustrates some
of the dilemmas faced by directors confronted by these competing pressures.

A conceptual framework for evaluating statutory authorities is developed. Theframework, which contains 14 dimensions of Organisational performance , isthen applied to the indicators set for local government from 1993/94 to
2001/02. The results show that the validity and comparability of the indicatorshas improved substantially over time. However, a critical weakness thatremains is the absence of indicators that link spending with service outcomes.Such indicators are essential if judgements about value for money and BestValue are to be made.
Acc to R.SURI.Markets work best when the rules of the game are stable, property rights are secure and
contracts are observed. These conditions are promoted by the rule of law in the classical
liberal sense of the supremacy of general laws over public and private authority. Devices
such as mixed government and the separation of powers are believed to be conducive tothe rule of law. However, the degree of formal separation of powers in a constitution does
not always co-relate to rule of law conditions and hence to economic performance. Hence
the speculation that the separation of powers is not a necessary condition to the rule of
law. The paper argues against such a conclusion by developing an account of the
separation of powers that focuses on its methodological thesis in addition to its better
known thesis of the diffusion of power.
Acc to K. David.Using a sample of 140 managers, he investigated the use of various metrics indetermining the periodic assessment, bonus decisions, and career paths ofbusiness performance unit managers. He showed that the weight on accountingreturn measures is associated with the authority of these managers, and wedocument that both disaggregated measures (expenses and revenues), andnon-financial measures play a greater role as interdependencies betweenbusiness units increase. The results suggest separate and distinct roles fordifferent types of performance measures. Accounting return measures areused to create the proper incentives for managers with greater accountability ,while disaggregated and non-financial measures are employed in response tointerdependencies.

Only a successful implementation of an overall reform program will enable Russian banksto provide financial intermediation and assist in the country's development from a nascentmarket economy to a mature financial system. The chances for reform are better now thanat any time during the last decade.

This article consolidates and expands on evidence on how National AIDSCommissions (NACs) in sub-Saharan Africa are measuring up to expectationsthat drove their rapid adoption across the continent. While their overallperformance seems reasonably good, most NACs still lack adequate power andincentive structures to hold line ministries accountable, a key requirement forco-ordinating activities and mainstreaming HIV-AIDS across the public sector.Second-generation African NACs urgently need authority and institutionalstature to effectively co-ordinate the channelling of the larger funds nowavailable through government bureaucracy. The evolution of the epidemic alsoimposes requirements different from those when the current NAC architecturewas crafted.
Acc to A.k.Rajesh,S.A.Andrew.Empirical research on the principal-agent model has focused almost exclusivelyon the incentives provided to chief executive officers. However, the model isalso directly relevant to the incentives provided to other top executives.Furthermore, the extent to which other executives will be provided with high-powered incentives to maximize firm profits depends critically on the othermeasures of their performance that are observable to the shareholders. Topmanagers who have important divisional responsibilities within the firm havemore precise signals of their effort than the overall performance of the firm.Consequently, the compensation of this group of executives will be less
sensitive to firm performance than will the compensation of top managers withbroad oversight authority. We find robust empirical support for this propositionusing a comprehensive panel dataset of executives at large corporations. Wealso show that the aggregate pay performance sensitivity of the topmanagement team is quite substantial. These findings are consistent with aprincipal-agent model in which shareholders optimally utilize multiple signals ofexecutive effort in determining compensation. Their results suggest that theprincipal-agent model is an appropriate characterization of the internalorganization of the firm.

.The concept of competition between the federal government and the stateswas central to the framers' vision of our constitutional structure. In the framers'view, federal-state regulatory competition ensured an alternative regime tocitizens dissatisfied with the dominant regulators performance . Recently, the
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011

dynamics of federalism have shifted power in the securities enforcement fieldfrom the SEC to certain state securities regulators. The states, rather than theSEC, have led enforcement efforts in the Wall Street analyst conflicts and themutual fund trading investigations. This shift in authority has promptedrenewed debate over whether a uniform national system of securitiesregulation is preferable to the current dual system. The rising profile of state
officials, and calls from certain quarters to curtail states' enforcement powers,presents a paradigm through which to assess how a dynamic federalist systemhelps to ensure optimal regulatory policies and practices.

Acc. To A.Philipe,T.JeanReal authority is determined by the structure of information, which in turn dependson the allocation of formal authority. An increase in an agent'sreal authority promotes initiative but results in a loss of control for the principal. Thepaper analyzes the allocation of formal authority as well as some determinants ofthe subordinates' real authority: overload, lenient rules, urgency of decision,reputation, performance measurement, and multiplicity of superiors. Finally, theamount of communication in an organization is shown to depend on the allocationof formal authority.

Research methodology
The methodology adopted in the study has been organization research which
means study of cultural effect which is prevailing inside and outside the
organization. It consisted collection of secondary data. The study is on the basis of
secondary data. I collected data from external sources during my research.
SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data are data that have been collected for another purpose and where
we will use Statistical Method with the Primary Data. It means that after performing
statistical operations on Primary Data the results become known as Secondary
Data.
Secondary data is information gathered for purposes other than the completion of aresearch project. A variety of secondary information sources is available to theresearcher gathering data on an industry, potential product applications and themarket place. Secondary data is also used to gain initial insight into the researchproblem.

AUTHORITY: MEANING AND DEFINITION
Authority is the foundation of administration in public life. It is normally exercised in a
formalized structure of hierarchy in an organization. It is the legitimate power to influence
the behaviour of a person or a groups of persons.
According to Max Weber, authority is the willing and unconditional compliance of
people, resting upon their belief that it is legitimate for the superior to impose his will onthem and illegitimate for them to refuse to obey.
Henry Fayol, defined authority as the right to give orders and the power to exact
obedience. Thus, authority is the legitimate right to command or influenceothers to behave
toward the attainment of specific goals of an administrative system. In the administrativesystem, each position has specific rights that job holders acquire from the title of the
position. As Allen puts it, "authority is the sum of the powers and rights entrusted to make
possible the performance of work delegated". However, authority is not just confined to the
commands, rights and instructions of superiors in organizations.
The other equally important side of authority is obedience and acceptance. Chester
Barnard was one of the writers who had recognized the importance of obedience and
acceptance in the organizational process. According to him, "authority is the character of acommunication in a formal organization by virtue of which it is accepted by a contributor
to or member of the organization as governing or determining what he does or is not to doso far as the organization is concerned." In other words, authority is the legitimate right toguide a person's behavior in an organization subject to the condition that the person accepts
that right by showing obedience to it.

14/33
AUTHORITY AND POWER
Authority is an inseparable part of rights inherent to a position. These rights are constant,
irrespective of the persons holding the position. In other words, authority is legitimate andpositional. Power is the capacity to influence the decision-making of an authority holder.
Power may be described as the influence to change the behaviour of a person or persons to suit the
power holder's objectives and advantages. Authority is closely related to the, ' concept of power.Administrative system and various administrative organizations and offices are involved in
exercising their powers in the government. Thus, authority may be defined as the legitimate power
of office holders in administrative organizations. Power not supported by law, constitution and
norms is illegitimate. Illegitimate power is dangerous to the society. The legitimate power or
authority is the servant of the people and it should not
become the master of the people in a democratic society. Legitimate power or authority is to be used
in public interest in a society. To safeguard the people in general from illegitimate power we haveseveral mechanisms that act as limits and controls.
RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibility is the obligation to carry out certain duties. It has an inseparable relationship with
authority. Without authority it is not possible to take up responsibility.
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
15/33
An administrator, while giving authority to his subordinates should also make them responsible
for exercising authority judiciously and purposefully. Responsibility is of two kinds, viz., operating
responsibility and ultimate responsibility.
An administrator can delegate operating responsibility to his subordinates but not the ultimateresponsibility.
The ultimate responsibility can never be delegated. The three concepts of authority ,responsibility
and accountability are the integral parts of the process of administration.
Authority is the right to command, responsibility is the duty to carry out the command, and the
accountability is the term used to denote the proper discharge of thc duties in letter and spirit. A
person's responsibility is complete only when the duties are done according to the letter and spirit of
the command. According to traditional administrative theory, there is a distinction between two
forms of authority relationships, viz., line authority and staff authority .
.
Line authority denotes direct and ultimate responsibility for achieving results.
Staff authority is a supporting function in helping line authority in its endeavour.
Line authority can be equated to a superiors' authority, white staff authority can be
equated to that of the staff. Staff authority is advisory in nature.
One way of differentiating line and staff is by defining its role in the ultimateresponsibility in achieving the result

PERFORMANCE
Performance t is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as
individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the
accomplishment of agency mission and goals.
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011

Employee performance management includes:
PLANNING work and setting expectations,
Continually monitoring performance,
Developing the capacity to perform,
Periodically rating performance in a summary fashion, and Rewarding good performance.
EXPLANATION
1 ) In an effective organization, work is planned out in advance.Planning means setting performance expectations and goals for
groups and individuals to channel their efforts toward achieving
organizational objectives. Getting employees involved in the
planning process will help them understand the goals of the
organization, what needs to be done, why it needs to be done,
and how well it should be done.
The regulatory requirements for planning employees'
performance include establishing the elements and standards of
their performance appraisal plans. Performance elements and
standards should be measurable, understandable, verifiable,
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
18/33
equitable, and achievable. Through critical elements,
employees are held accountable as individuals for work
assignments or responsibilities. Employee performance plans
should be flexible so that they can be adjusted for changing
program objectives and work requirements. When used
effectively, these plans can be beneficial working documentsthat are discussed often, and not merely paperwork that is filed
in a drawer and seen only when ratings of record are required.
2 ) : In an effective organization, assignments and projects aremonitored continually. Monitoring well means consistently
measuring performance and providing ongoing feedback to
employees and work groups on their progress toward reachingtheir goals.
Regulatory requirements for monitoring performance include
conducting progress reviews with employees where their
performance is compared against their elements and standards.
Ongoing monitoring provides the opportunity to check how well
employees are meeting predetermined standards and to make
changes to unrealistic or problematic standards. And by
monitoring continually, unacceptable performance can be
identified at any time during the appraisal period and assistance
provided to address such performance rather than wait until theend of the period when summary rating levels are assigned.
3.) In an effective organization, employee developmental needs areevaluated and addressed. Developing in this instance means
increasing the capacity to perform through training, giving
assignments that introduce new skills or higher levels of
responsibility, improving work processes, or other methods.Providing employees with training and developmental
opportunities encourages good performance, strengthens job-
related skills and competencies, and helps employees keep up
with changes in the workplace, such as the introduction of new
technology.
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
19/33
Carrying out the processes of performance management
provides an excellent opportunity to identify developmental
needs. During planning and monitoring of work, deficiencies in
performance become evident and can be addressed. Areas for
improving good performance also stand out, and action can be
taken to help successful employees improve even further.
4 ) . From time to time, organizations find it useful to summarizeemployee performance. This can be helpful for looking at and
comparing performance over time or among various employees.
Organizations need to know who their best performers are.
Within the context of formal performance appraisalrequirements, rating means evaluating employee or group
performance against the elements and standards in an
employee's performance plan and assigning a summary rating
of record. The rating of record is assigned according to
procedures included in the organization's appraisal program. It
is based on work performed during an entire appraisal period.
The rating of record has a bearing on various other personnel
actions, such as granting within-grade pay increases and
determining additional retention service credit in a reduction in
force.
In an effective organization, rewards are used well. Rewarding
means recognizing employees, individually and as members of
groups, for their performance and acknowledging their
contributions to the agency's mission. A basic principle of
effective management is that all behavior is controlled by its
consequences. Those consequences can and should be both
formal and informal and both positive and negative.
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
20/33
Good performance is recognized without waiting for
nominations for formal awards to be solicited. Recognition is an
ongoing, natural part of day-to-day experience. A lot of the
actions that reward good performance like saying "Thank
you" don't require a specific regulatory authority.
Nonetheless, awards regulations provide a broad range offorms that more formal rewards can take, such as cash, time
off, and many nonmonetary items. The regulations also cover a
variety of contributions that can be rewarded, from suggestions
to group accomplishments.
ORGANISATION STRUCTURE
The formal arrangement of jobs within the organization is calledorganization structure.one of the structure of this is the matrix structureis matrix structure which shows the flow of authority in an organization .
Matrix structure
The matrix organization is an attempt to combine the advantages of the
pure functional structure and the product organizational structure. This form is
identically suited for companies, such as construction, that are project-
driven. The figure below shows a typical Matrix organization.
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
21/33
In a matrix organization, each project manager reports directly to the
vice president and the general manager. Since each project represents a
potential profit centre, the power and authority used by the project manager
come directly from the general manager.
Information sharing is mandatory in such an organization, and several
people may be required for the same piece of work. However, in general, the
project manager has the total responsibility and accountability for the success
of the project. The functional departments, on the other hand, have functional
responsibility to maintain technical excellence on the project. Each functional
unit is headed by a department manager whose prime responsibility is to
ensure that a unified technical base is maintained and that all available
information can be exchanged for each project.
The basis for the matrix organization is an endeavor to create synergism
through shared Because key people can be shared, the project cost is
minimized
Conflicts are minimal, and those requiring hierarchical referrals are moreeasily resolved
There is a better balance between time, cost and performance
Authority and responsibility are shared

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
A manager alone cannot perform all the tasks assigned to him. In order to meet thetargets, the manager should delegate authority. Delegation of Authority means division ofauthority and powers downwards to the subordinate. Delegation is about entrustingsomeone else to do parts of your job. Delegation of authority can be defined as subdivision
and sub-allocation of powers to the subordinates in order to achieve effective results.
ELEMENTS OF DELEGATION
1. Authority - in context of a business organization, authority can be defined as thepower and right of a person to use and allocate the resources efficiently, to takedecisions and to give orders so as to achieve the organizational objectives.Authority must be well- defined. All people who have the authority should knowwhat is the scope of their authority is and they shouldnt misutilize it. Authority is theright to give commands, orders and get the things done. The top level managementhas greatest authority. Authority always flows from top to bottom..
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
23/33
2. Responsibility - is the duty of the person to complete the task assigned to him. Aperson who is given the responsibility should ensure that he accomplishes thetasks assigned to him. If the tasks for which he was held responsible are notcompleted, then he should not give explanations or excuses. Responsibility withoutadequate authority leads to discontent and dissatisfaction among the person.Responsibility flows from bottom to top. The middle level and lower level
management holds more responsibility. The person held responsible for a job isanswerable for it. If he performs the tasks assigned as expected, he is bound forpraises. While if he doesnt accomplish tasks assigned as expected, then also he isanswerable for that.
3. Accountability - means giving explanations for any variance in the actualperformance from the expectations set. Accountability can not be delegated. Forexample, if A is given a task with sufficient authority, and A delegates this task toB and asks him to ensure that task is done well, responsibility rest with B, butaccountability still rest with A. The top level management is most accountable.Being accountable means being innovative as the person will think beyond hisscope of job. Accountability ,in short, means being answerable for the end result.Accountability cant be escaped. It arises from responsibility.
For achieving delegation, a manager has to work in a system and has to performfollowing step
Delegation of authority is the base of superior-subordinate relationship, it involvesfollowing steps:-
1. Assignment of Duties The delegator first tries to define the task and duties tothe subordinate. He also has to define the result expected from the subordinates.Clarity of duty as well as result expected has to be the first step in delegation.
2. Granting of authority Subdivision of authority takes place when a superior
divides and shares his authority with the subordinate. It is for this reason, everysubordinate should be given enough independence to carry the task given to himby his superiors. The managers at all levels delegate authority and power which isattached to their job positions. The subdivision of powers is very important to geteffective results.
3. Creating Responsibility and Accountability The delegation process does notend once powers are granted to the subordinates. They at the same time have to
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
24/33
be obligatory towards the duties assigned to them. Responsibility is said to be thefactor or obligation of an individual to carry out his duties in best of his ability as perthe directions of superior. Responsibility is very important. Therefore, it is that whichgives effectiveness to authority. At the same time, responsibility is absolute andcannot be shifted. Accountability, on the others hand, is the obligation of theindividual to carry out his duties as per the standards of performance. Therefore, it
is said that authority is delegated, responsibility is created and accountability isimposed. Accountability arises out of responsibility and responsibility arises out ofauthority. Therefore, it becomes important that with every authority position anequal and opposite responsibility should be attached.
Therefore every manager,i.e.,the delegator has to follow a system to finish up thedelegation process. Equally important is the delegatees role which means hisresponsibility and accountability is attached with the authority over to here.

RESULTS
IF a man has been assigned certain duties to be performed,hemust also be given authority necessary for the performance ofsuch duties.since its clear on the basis of above research thatauthority is the right given to an individual to direct andinfluence his subordinates.Right or power to produce or useraw materials ,spend money,to hire and fire people,etc has to
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
26/33
be delegated to individuals .it is a common saying thatauthority and responsibility go together .It is obvious thatnobody can perform duties unless he has the requisiteauthority .
In addition to it ,he must also be accountable for hisactivities performed .By accepting an assignment a subordinate ,in fact,gives himpromise to do his best in carrying out his duties.He can be heldaccountable for his results .therefore the performance ofsubordinate regardind the organizational increases
CONCLUSION
8/8/2019 amit mpob 2011
27/33
The use of performance management in the best-practice
companies is not because it is a better technique than performance
appraisal, but because it can form one of a number of integrated
approaches to the management of performance .The appeal of
performance management in its fully realized form is that it
pervades every aspect of running the business and helps to give
purpose and meaning to those involved in achieving the
organizational success.
Delegation of authority is empowerment, and that is the main spring
of better work. Your staff will not develop unless they are given tasks
that build their abilities, experience, and confidence. They will perform
best in a structured environment in which every one is aware of
delegated duties and responsibilities and each has the necessary skills
and resources to carry out tasks efficiently. Successful leaders build high
performing and profitable organizations through effective delegation of
authority and purposive use of their knowledge, experience and insight
towards the ultimate goal of business surplus generation.
