Answer 1

Authority is the formal right to do the work. Henry Fayol defined the authority as “the right to give orders and the power to exact obedience. Authority gives the management the power to enforce obedience. It is the power to give orders and make sure that these orders are obeyed.”

According to Simon, authority may be defined as “the power to make decisions which guide the actions of another. It is a relationship between two individuals—one supervisor, the subordinate. The superior frames and transmits decisions with the expectation that they will be accepted by the subordinate. The subordinate expects such decisions, and his conduct is determined by them.”
