Question

Which of the following is the formal right to decide on the achievement of objectives, the use of resources, and the adherence to organizational policy ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2019 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (23-Jun-2019)
The correct answer is

Authority

Authority is the formal, legitimate right attached to a position to make decisions, issue orders and commit resources – for example, deciding how objectives will be achieved, how resources are used and ensuring adherence to organizational policy.

Responsibility is the obligation of a subordinate to perform the assigned duty, and power is the broader ability to influence others, which may come from personal or informal sources rather than a formal right.

Planning is a management function (deciding in advance what to do), not a right vested in a position.

Hence, the answer is Authority.
