Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Narrower spans of control are generally used when tasks are complex, when subordinates are inexperienced or poorly trained, or when tasks require team effort because these situations require more supervision and guidance from the manager. Narrower spans of control allow for more individualized attention and support for each subordinate. On the other hand, when tasks are straightforward and subordinates are experienced, wider spans of control can be used because less supervision and guidance is needed.
