Delegation of authority refers to the downward transfer of responsibility from superiors to subordinates, allowing subordinates to accomplish assigned jobs. Effective delegation provides benefits like improved management, employee development, motivation, organizational growth, and coordination while reducing manager workload. However, limitations include a superior's unwillingness to delegate due to feelings of doing the job better themselves or lack of confidence in subordinates, as well as a subordinate's dependence on the boss or lack of self-confidence.
