Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The span of control refers to the number of employees a manager is responsible for supervising. A small span of control indicates that a manager has a limited number of subordinates to supervise, while a large span of control indicates a larger number of subordinates. When the span of control is small, each manager has fewer employees to manage, which results in fewer management levels needed to oversee the organization. Therefore, the best answer is B, small spans of control resulting in fewer management levels.
