Delegation and Decentralisation: A Comparative view

 

Basis Delegation Decentralisation
Nature Delegation is a compulsory act because no individual can perform all tasks on his own. Decentralisation is an optional policy decision. It is done at the discretion of the top management.
Freedom of action More control by superiors hence less freedom to take own decisions. Less control over executives hence greater freedom of action.
Status It is a process followed to share tasks. It is the result of the policy decision of the top management.
Scope It has narrow scope as it is limited to superior and his immediate subordinate. It has wide scope as it implies extension of delegation to the lowest level of management.
Purpose To lessen the burden of the manager. To increase the role of the subordinates in the organisation by giving them more autonomy.
