Delegation and Decentralization in Abdicating Authority and Upholding Ubuntu Philosophy in Social Welfare Organisations: A Critical and Theoretical Perspectives

The purpose concerning this paper is to improve on the critics of delegation and decomposition in abducting authority and maintaining Ubuntu philosophy in Social Welfare Organisations in Zimbabwe. In abdicating authority and supporting Ubuntu Philosophy, the systematic allocation of authority by top administration in social welfare organisations remains a quarrelsome issue. Delegating responsibility while abdicating respect and human excellence is a critical issue in social welfare organisations, as few community-located organisations fail to consider the hereditary worth of operators before undertaking projects and appointing tasks. In governmental parastatals participatory democratic principles are not effectively achieved when delegating duties, the top administration restricts itself to bigger decisions districts like policy making, coordination and control. The lower level managers have enough conclusion making authority and support to present innovativeness in their work. Data collection procedures that were used contained observations, focus group considerations and interviews. The targeted people included worldwide, statutory and non-statutory organisations in Zimbabwe. The study decided that delegation and decentralisation in social work organisations are criticised as a result of local beurocracy and inequalities that survive in organisations. Respondents stated that decentralisation is a meaningful hindrance in maintaining organisational values and ethics. Some commanders in social welfare organisations do not learn the basic need for basic respect and grace for other workers, such as sharing in charge responsibility.
