What Is The Chain Of Command

?A chain of command is a direct line of authority and responsibility along which orders are passed.

This is sometimes called a hierarchical structure in the civilian sector.Generally, orders are passed from higher ranking staff to lower ranking staff.Slide10

Why do we need a chain of command

?

In nature there is a tendency in groups for one creature to dominate others.As humans, we seek a sense of belonging.Groups provide security, order, a sense of purpose and direction.Even in informal groups a hierarchical structure will develop.Slide11

Why Do We Need A Chain Of Command?

NDOC is a paramilitary organization.With over 3,000 employees structure is vital.To ensure that the NDOC’s tasks and assignments are completed without confusion or wasted time and effort.So that everyone knows what their responsibilities are.Slide12

Why Do We Need A Chain Of Command?

So that everyone is accountable to someone else for their actions.To provide a sense of direction.To ensure clear communications.Slide13

Unity of Command

The theory that subordinate in an organization must be accountable to one and only one superior.

This is sometimes referred to as “having one boss”.It’s important to know who’s “in command” of a situation.Slide14

Unity of Command

Unity of Command exists to prevent a subordinate from receiving conflicting instructions from different supervisors which could lead to confusion and paralysis.Slide15

Dual Supervision

When two superiors in separate chains of command provide dual supervision to a subordinate with specific responsibility.Slide16

Coordination and Span of Control

Coordination is most effective when the lines of authority, responsibility, and accountability are clearly defined.

Span of control is the number of subordinates or elements within an organization that are accountable to one superior.Slide17

Span of control

No fixed number, but

7 – 10 is generally the accepted rule.Routine type work can increase span of control.Highly motivated or trained workers can also increase span of control.

Character of the manager.Slide18
