Статтю присвячено теоретичному дослідженню актуальних аспектів у співвідношенні застосування влади, сили та відповідальності в менеджменті та підходів до питання розуміння їхнього впливу на прийняття управлінських рішень і загалом на стиль керівництва трудовим колективом.
The article presents a theoretical study of the most common and actual theories and approaches to the
problem of understanding the correlation between the usage of authority, power, and responsibility in management;
their influence on making managerial decisions; and the management style overall.
The study suggests that there are various different theories that attempt to explain the nature of leadership,
management, and authority. The study differentiates authority and power, with authority being an
official right to manage given by the organization hierarchical structure, and power being an unofficial
right given by the ability to solve problems. Furthermore, both authority and power come with responsibility,
which is a function of control.
The study also differentiates management by style. This also leads to differentiation by decision-making
approaches: each management style corresponds with a different approach to decision-making.
All in all, this article shows how important it is to study the correlation between the usage of authority,
power, and responsibility in management in order to be able to choose an appropriate management style to
facilitate maximum efficiency and effectiveness of decisions made.
