| Summary: | The span of control expresses how many subordinates correspond
to one manager, while determined by many factors and unable to
be expanded indefinitely. The study monitors the impact of determinants,
like the functional area of control, the level of management,
the duration of managerial position, the age of the
manager, the size and composition of the team. The results of
non-parametric testing (Chi-Square Test of Independence) and
rates of association between variables (using Cramér’s V and Phi
coefficient and for ordinal variables, Kendall’s tau-b, GoodmanKruskal’s
Gamma, Kendall’s tau-c and Somers’ d) indicate that
the team size is not related to the level of management, which
does not confirm the assumption that the largest teams work at
the lowest management level and vice versa, that the team leader
at the top level is in charge of the smallest number of people.
Instead the size of the team depends on the functional area of
control. The assumption that increasing age, and so increasing
experience also increases the size of the team, has not been
confirmed. However, the fact that the manager works longer in
the leading position has been confirmed. With the current manner
of managing an organization, the age of the manager is the weak
indicator of the duration of the managerial position. |
