Question

Rebecca works for a company that has clearly defined lines of authority. Each employee knows that he or she has authority and responsibility for a distinct set of tasks. Employees are also aware of the company’s reporting structure as well as successive management levels all the way to the top. Rebecca’s company follows which principle?

Answer 1

Answer:

scalar principle

Explanation:

The scalar principle refers to what is commonly known as the chain of command. This means that an employee (subordinate) will receive instructions from their immediate superior and report to him/her only. This way there is a clear definition of authority, and authority flows from one level to another.
