Discuss two types of delegation

Answers


Faith
1.Continuous delegation
It is based on the organizational established. It describes responsibilities and commensurate authority ascribed to various role occupants in departments, divisions, sections and units. E.g. in a secondary school structure these would be
Head teacher/principal
Deputy
Heads of departments
Subject teachers
House teachers
Cooks
Cleaners etc

All employees below the principal work on behalf of the principal. The school structure requires for example the deputy to be in charge of school discipline, heads of departments to coordinate curriculum implementation in their department, subject teachers to teach etc.

This kind of delegation is continuous in the sense that every one who becomes an HOD or subject head or house teachers must do specific things always (permanent) on behalf of the principal.

2.Ad hoc delegation
It involves temporary transfer of responsibility and commensurate authority from one role occupant to another in order to accomplish a specific job in a specified period eg setting up of committees commissions, task forces etc.
