Almost most of the employees were not satisfied the way there managers delegate the task to them. The employee also expects the management to delegate the task the way they understand it, thus this would improve company output, and work would be done easily and before time. Managers not delegating is a problem to an organization. Managers are overworked and underdeveloped employees this is a commercial impact. Work is done at the wrong level. It’s like being passed down the chain, its being moved up as managers will continue to do things they should have left behind. As managers are most probably paid

more this leads to work is more expensive. It costs more than it supposed to get things done so the business becomes less money-making.

Possible solutions

As Fayol (1949), has suggested that planning is the most important process in management because it determines organizational aims, develops principles about the current environment, selects the course of action, initiates activities required to change plans into action, and evaluates the outcome. Therefore to control this problem the manager should plan and analyze the employee schedule a week in advance and if any problem exists then he/she should fix it. For example, the manager should re-assign staff according to the peak time of the store based on their skills and if it doesn’t work then hiring more staff is another possibility. Sagie’s (1998) research stated that employee schedule is very important because it is the backbone of a business and poor labour management results in low productivity and a high staff turnover rate. Therefore, if a business wants the most from their employees then it is vital to consider and care their input into good employee scheduling.

Training plays an important role in labour management because it helps a manager in verifying an employee’s skill level. It enables the manager to schedule the employee according to their skill level and peak hours. Therefore, the manager should provide a week’s on job training to the employees on the stations in the kitchen area and the front counter customer service area and explain the path to future employee development. According to Castrogiovanni & Kidwell (2010), training is very important and fruitful to both the business and employee because it increases their productivity which results in quality, timely and less wastage outcome and increased profits for the business.

Effective task delegation is very for important management and leadership succession with a follow up process. According to Marshall (1992), the process is established on five organizing factors such as span of control, unity of command, delegation of authority, homogeneous assignment and flexibility. Therefore, the manager should delegate specific tasks to the employees, and provide a little responsibility and authority in order for the employees to complete their tasks. The task should be followed up by the manager and provide the employees with a feedback to increase employee’s motivation and morale. In a research conducted by Dartey-Baah (2010), it was highlighted that effective delegation helps increase business productivity and maintains a smooth operations which gives more time to the manager for more strategic thinking and development opportunities.

Inventory management is the process of efficiently managing the constant flow of products into and out of an existing inventory. Controlling and balancing the inventory is very important because if the inventory is too high then the company’s cash will be tied up with the stock and if the inventory is low then it can put the company in a difficult situation. This Domino’s store is new in the area and has uneven sales therefore the company does not carry a high stock but frequently faces problem with low inventory. The outcome of this situation is lack of sale with disappointed customers and employees who has to face the customers with poor inventory management. Therefore, without proper inventory management it will be difficult for a company to maintain control and if the company does not have proper control in inventory management then the company will not meet the customers demand. Therefore as Fayol (1949) stated, that controlling is the evaluation component of management where they involve the comparison of activities of managers to the plan of action.

Effective communication is very important for managers in an organization because it helps them to perform their jobs and responsibilities and acts as the building block of a successful organization. For example, at Domino’s, new procedures, plan and menu items are communicated to the management from head office, then from management to supervisors and then to employees. According to Sari & Tran (2002), there is a strong link between effective communication and employee satisfaction and increased employee productivity. Effective communication helps in promoting motivation because the employees are informed and clarified about a task to be done, the procedure to perform the task and what can be done to improve their performance to carry out the task well. At Domino’s the supervisors should use effective communication to delegate task to employees with clear understanding of the task. If it’s not clearly communicated then the task goes wrong which disappoints the supervisor and employee.
