Question:

If responsibility assigned is more than authority it may........................

Options:

Make person ineffective

Misuse of authority

Make person accountable

Responsibility is derived

Correct Answer:

Make person ineffective

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- Make person ineffective.

An important consideration to be kept in view with respect to both authority and responsibility is that when an employee is given responsibility for a job he must also be given the degree of authority necessary to carry it out. Thus, for effective delegation the authority granted must be commensurate with the assigned responsibility. If authority granted is more than responsibility, it may lead to misuse of authority, and if responsibility assigned is more than authority it may make a person ineffective.
