Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The span of control determines the number of levels and managers an organization has. This refers to the number of direct reports that a manager can effectively supervise, which impacts the number of management positions and overall hierarchical structure of the department. Decisions about job grouping and reporting lines are also impacted by the span of control, but these are more immediate decisions that flow down from the level of the number of managers and hierarchy within the organisation.
