Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Micromanaging by managers hinders decentralization as it involves excessive control and decision-making power at the top levels, limiting the autonomy and authority of lower-level employees or units. Decentralization requires a level of trust and empowerment of employees to make decisions and take responsibility, which is undermined by micromanaging. The other options like the formation of self-directed work teams, employee involvement in decision-making process, limited hard rules, and smaller organizational units promote decentralization by delegating power and promoting agility, flexibility, and innovation.
