The Correlation between Manager's Delegation of Authority with the Manner of Employee Direction in Hospitals of Qom Province

The destructive effect of centralized management can be found throughout each organization, which is a barrier for delegation of authority and productivity leading to administrative violence increase and compression and frigidity of affairs. With attention to the importance of delegation of authority this research aimed at determining the correlation between the manager's delegation of authority with the manner of employee direction in Qom hospitals, designed for contributing to improvement of managers’ performance in hospitals. This correlational and cross-sectional research, was carried out on all the employees under the control of managers and chiefs of Qom province hospitals (N=2167). Sampling was done by cluster sampling method through the use of Cokran sampling based on Morgan and kerjsi chart. 998 samples with the confidence level of %95 and permitted errors of 0.05 were randomly selected. Data were collected via questionnaires which were answered by self-report method. The data were then analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient, variance's test F analyses, multiple variant regression and T-test. The mean score of the manager's non-delegation of authority was (32.4). Among the indicators of the direction, there was a significant relationship between the motivation (mean= 61.44) and organizational communication (49.39), also there was a significant relationship between the managers’ delegation of authority and the manner of their employees direction (non-delegation of authority R=-0.13). Due to the meaningful and direct relationship between most of direction variables with the managers’ delegation of authority, increasing the delegation of authority and deconcentration can lead to an increase in employee motivation and (vertical and formal) communication and improved performance of affairs.
