The authority in administration is the power that allows an employee to fulfill the assigned functions. It is granted by imposition or by the different peculiarities that guarantee the person who exercises it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Management authority is the power that enables an employee to fulfill the function assigned to him without giving rise to a conflict or negotiation. It allows to greatly streamline the operation of a company's workforce.<\/p>\n

There are different modalities and it is necessary to be aware of the situation in which it is going to be applied. The ultimate goal is to be able to obtain all the benefits that come with running a correct authority.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of authority in administration<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The administration authority has the following characteristics:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • It is essential in any organization to be able to meet the stipulated objectives.<\/li>\n
  • It allows to increase the efficiency of a company because it helps to follow an order.<\/li>\n
  • If it is used in an abusive way, it will have negative results.<\/li>\n
  • An administration authority adapted to each worker will increase their motivation and productivity.<\/li>\n
  • This ability is reduced when bad decisions are made or that make the employees on whom it is exercised uncomfortable.<\/li>\n
  • Allow an order to come true.<\/li>\n
  • It becomes leadership skills when done in the right way.<\/li>\n
  • It can be granted by imposition or by the peculiarities that guarantee who exercises it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Types of authority in administration<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

    There are four main groups of authority in administration:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Personal authority:<\/strong> The employee who has this power must enjoy respect, admiration or other qualities that allow the individual on whom the order is exercised, to comply with it.<\/li>\n
    • Operational authority:<\/strong> This type of authority is not between two people. It is one that an employee exercises on himself, being aware that he must fulfill a certain function.<\/li>\n
    • Technical authority:<\/strong> It is used when an employee has more knowledge than the rest within a certain area. It can be given by your experience, training or the ability to communicate your knowledge.<\/li>\n
    • Formal authority:<\/strong> Here the authority is imposed by a certain organization. It is awarded to different positions to demand the fulfillment of the required tasks. We can differentiate between two types within this form of authority:\n
        \n
      • Linear authority:<\/strong> It consists of granting certain authority to each of the company's command positions. The order followed starts from the highest rank to the last position that has authority.<\/li>\n
      • Functional authority: <\/strong>It is one that is awarded based on the specialty of each worker, within a specific department or company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Example of authority in administration<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

        Suppose we are the owners of an insurance company. In our commercial department, we have the following template:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • 1 commercial director.<\/li>\n
        • 4 zone bosses.<\/li>\n
        • 20 team leaders.<\/li>\n
        • 200 commercials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Under this assumption, in our staff the commercial director exercises authority over the zone managers. In addition, zone managers exercise authority over team leaders. Finally, commercials do not exercise authority over anyone, but they must make use of operational authority.<\/p>\n

          In conclusion, the authority in administration is the power that allows to demand a certain order and that it is carried out.<\/p>\n
