Self-developed questionnaire was duly validated to 126 (84%) of male and 24 (16%) of female, constituting of 150 respondents and both primary and secondary data were collected. Descriptive analysis involving frequencies, percentages and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient for inferential statistics were carried out. The correlation between the two variables was weak and significant at 0.00 values.

Delegation provides a pool of talented and skilled personnel who are ready to take up advanced roles and bigger responsibilities.
