Span of Control
Span of Control - correct answer This relates to the number of employees who
report directly to a manager. A business can have a wide or narrow span of control
Wide Span of Control - correct answer a manager has a wide span of control when
they have a large number of employees reporting directly to them. It is often used when employees do
not require a high degree of supervision, e.g employees completing repetitive tasks, such as factory or
office cleaners.
Narrow Span of Control - correct answer A narrow span of control applies when a
smaller number of employees report directly to the manager. It is used when employees require greater
supervision, e.g employees performing difficult or dangerous work, like trainee doctors or miners.
Factors Effecting Span of Control - correct answer Trust, employee skills, tasks,
managerial workload
Trust - correct answer Management who trust staff tend to have a wide span of
control. They do not closely monitor employees.
Employee Skills - correct answer Employees with fewer skills and less experience
require greater management supervision
Tasks - correct answer Employees performing repetitive tasks require less
supervision, therefore management can use a wide span of control.
Managerial Workload - correct answer Managers perform a number of duties,
including supervising staff and communicating with stakeholders. The manager may need to have a
narrow span of control to ensure that they are not overwhelmed by their workload
