Discussion
Assertion (A) : According to Bernard, authority resides in the relationship between a superior and its acceptance by a subordinate.
Reason (R) : To Barnard, authority is the character of an order in an organization by virtue of which it is accepted.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are correct and the reason explains the assertion. Chester Barnard held that authority rests on acceptance by the subordinate. It is the character of a communication in a formal organisation by which it is accepted by a member as governing the action he contributes. The assertion states the relationship, and the reason gives the definition on which it is based.
The second option is wrong because the reason is the definition behind the assertion. The other options are wrong because neither statement is false.
