[Rizwana Khatoon]

In any organization no individual can perform all duties and accomplish all tasks by himself. It is physically impossible for a single individual to look after the affairs of a large business. His skill lies in his ability to get thins done through others. As an organization grows in size and the manager's job increases beyond his personal capacity, his success lies in his ability to multiply himself by training his subordinates and sharing his authority and responsibility with them. The only way he can achieve more is through delegation - through dividing his work load and sharing responsibilities with others. The sharing of power or authority with another for the performance of certain tasks and duties is known as delegation of authority.

The entire process of delegation involves four steps. They are:

1. The determination of results expected from persons in a position
2. The assignment of tasks to persons
3. The delegation of authority for accomplishing tasks
4. The holding of people responsible for the accomplishment of these tasks.

In an organization, it is not possible for a person to perform all the works alone. So, it is necessary for him/her to give some powers to his/her next supporting staffs. It increases the efficiency in management. In a college, generally the librarian delegates some powers to the asst. librarian.

 

The hierarchical structure of a college library:

Library Assistant
