CHAIN OF COMMAND

 CHAIN OF COMMAND




This is one of the principles that can be explained through an organizational structure. It shows

the unbroken way of authority that flows from the top-level management to the low-level

management of an organization. 


A chain of command should be effective for communicating with the employees. It should give a

clear picture to the workers on what decisions they can make on their own, the situations they

should follow the commands of their supervisors. 


The chain of command helps us to understand that every employee should be accountable to their immediate supervisor.

 This is also used for creating specialized workers as it helps to separate works according to the

 organizational structure and assigning, commanding the workers to do certain tasks. A good chain of

 command also improves the responsibilities of workers as it exhibits the order of authority

 and power of a certain position in the organizational structure.
