DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
1. Understanding
Granting authority is the authority by a leader to his subordinates to carry out certain tasks.

The authority of the person's activities manager to assign subordinates to be doing most of the tasks of the manager, and at the same time give power to subordinates, so that subordinates can carry out his duties well or be accountable for his work.

Delegation of authority is a division of labor process, grouping the duties of a manager in such a way, so that eventually the manager only do the jobs that can not be delegated.

Delegation of authority is the process by which managers allocate authority down to the people who report to him.

From some of the above it can be seen that there are three elements in the delegation of authority, namely:
a. Responsibility (assignment)
b. Authority (the power or authority)
c. Accountability (accountability)
These three elements can not be separated in terms of delegated authority, meaning that if one element is missing, the delegation of authority is not going to go well.

2. Principles of Delegation of Authority

a. The principle of delegation on the expected results
b. The principle of determining the function or clarity of task
c. The principle of periodic chain
d. Principles levels of authority

c. If the manager is absent, then that task can be delegated to others.
d. Delegation of authority is key to an organization.

On the other hand there is also the manager who did not want to do the delegation of authority. This has several reasons, namely:
a. Delegation of authority can reveal managerial weaknesses, procedures, methods that are less precise.
b. Managers want power
c. The manager did not want to bear the risk / errors committed by subordinates, because subordinates are capable of taking the wrong decision.
d. Managers fear that subordinates will carry out its duties effectively, so that his own position is threatened.
e. The manager did not / have less confidence in the abilities of subordinates.
f. There is a tendency in people to want to carry out certain things personally.

The obstacles in the process of devolution, not all from the manager, but can also be sourced from subordinates. In the subordinate party also has some reasons, so they do not want to accept the delegation, namely:
a. With delegates, meaning a subordinate received additional job / responsibility.
b. There is a feeling of subordinates that they will carry out his new powers with one and accept criticism.

Besides the terms mentioned above, the delegation of authority will be done by a manager if the manager has a personal attitude as follows:
a. Must be able to accept the opinions of others
b. Must be willing to relinquish some of its powers to subordinates
c. Must trust the other person / subordinate

Centralization and Decentralization

Centralized and decentralized management is very closely related to the delegation of authority, however please note that centralization and decentralization in management can not be done absolutely.

Centralization is largely authority / power is still held by the top management, only a limited number are disseminated to the market throughout the organizational structure, whereas

Decentralization is largely the authority has been disseminated to all the organizational structure (to the existing units) to be carried out, and only a limited number of authority is still held by the manager.

Tasks that can be delegated, may be viewed from:
1. From the point process (management functions):
a. Planning and implementation, largely can be delegated to others.
b. Supervision, a limited number that can be delegated.
2. From the point of these areas:
a. Field of Personnel and Finance, should not be delegated or in other words to be centralized.
b. While the fields of Production and Marketing largely be delegated.
