Answer for screen readers
The span of control is inversely related to the number of hierarchical levels of the organization.
More Information
Span of control refers to the number of subordinates a manager or supervisor can effectively direct. In organizational structures, as the number of hierarchical levels increases, the span of control typically decreases, meaning fewer subordinates per manager. Conversely, a flatter organization implies a wider span of control.
Tips
Confusing the relationship between span of control and hierarchy can lead to mistakes. Remember that a wider span of control typically corresponds with fewer hierarchical levels.
