Key Concepts
Responsibility: Obligation to carryout duties and achieve goals related to positions.

Authority: Right to make decisions, carryout actions.

The acceptance theory of authority argues that a manager has authority only if subordinates choose to accept his or her commands.

Accountability: Requirement to provide satisfied reason for significant differences from duties and expected resulted.
Accountability is the mechanism through which authority and responsibility are brought into alignment.
Example: Manager Finance must be accountable that why this year revenue is not raised?

Delegation: Assignment or part of a managers work to others.

Delegate the Whole Task: a manager should delegate an entire task to person rather than dividing it among several people. This gives the individual complete responsibility and increase his or her initiative (the ability to make decisions and take action without waiting for someone to tell you what to do).
Example: its my job to deliver the course but part of work I assign to others.

Feedback: Degree to which the job provides clear and timely information about performance result.
Example: How the activities are running, university wants feedback from you.
