Abstract : The importance of this study stems from its scarcity and essential subject it deals with (delegation of authority). Analyzing the actual practices of delegation including problems and ways of effective application of delegation may improve management in both public and private organizations as well. This study aims at analyzing actual practices of delegation of authority in a sample of Jordanian institutions in both public and private sectors.

It represents a survey of employees attitudes with regards to selected aspects of delegation of authority and their application in the surveyed institutions and companies. Among major findings of the study are: 1. A huge gap exists between the belief in the delegation of principle and its scope of application. 2. Motivations for delegation ate similar in both sectors in Jordan. 3. Methods of delegation vary within each and among sectors. 4. Significant obstacles to delegation exist in both sectors.
