Abstract
The Navy with its historical and present emphasis on developing
subordinates through increased responsibility and
authority, can not afford leadership training which is ineffective.
The research developed in this study seeks to provide
information on one management tactic, delegation. The
study is based upon the competency model developed by McBer
for the Navy's Leadership Management Education and Training
(LMET) program. A review of the historical thought on delegation from the
classical to the neoclassical writers is presented. Also discussed
is the background on the development of LMET.
The research was conducted utilizing the techniques
originated by McBer in their study for the Navy. This thesis
sought to find if the specific competency of delegation is
more often demonstrated by superior Navy personnel and if
LMET training has any significant impact upon managerial
effectiveness and the use of delegation. The results of the study found no significant relationship
between delegation, managerial effectiveness, and LMET
training.
