Abstract
This study examined the extent to which employees' productivity can he improved in an organization through delegation of authority using 7up Bottling Company Nig. Pic as case study. The data required for this study was gathered through the instrument of questionnaire and participant observation. One hundred (100) copies of questionnaire were administered to respondents and successfully retrieved for analysis. In line with the objectives of this study, two hypotheses were formulated. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlation coefficient were used for testing the hypotheses. The results showed that delegation of authority is necessary for achieving high productivity in an organization. The study revealed that authority delegated to employees facilitates prompt execution of tasks and responsibilities which ultimately brings about high level of corporate performance. The study, however, advised managers to be adequately wary because delegation of authority is not the abdication of responsibility. Based. on the findings, the study recommended that managers should delegate authority to subordinates as much as possible in view of its salutary effect on productivity and corporate survival.
