Hi... Long time i didn't update my blog. Today i want share my experience about job scope. Of course i got from my working experience. Not everyone care about their job scope but for me it's different.
Job scope? What people care about job scope? I think everyone just care about their work sometimes but not everyone. Sometimes we need do multi-task work. Depend on how the company encourage their staff and motivated their staff. Sometimes from multi-task work we got many benefit. But only for people who realize the benefit.
Sometimes when we always do multi-task, staff forgot their position in company. Sometimes they can think that he or she got power. Position like a boss but the true is they just do their work like us. Must follow the rules. Everyone got their own power. They just do on behalf boss. Why sometimes they can be like a boss only boss give them permission to sign on behalf boss?
Staff must realize what their on position and their job scope. Not because boss appoint them as manager or person who authorised can signed in the important document can give approval every documentation. Isn't?
So because of this, as employer we need to give every staff cleared about their job scope. So if anything happen, they will know their work. What they can do and what they can't do. Other that, staff also know their limit action. They not confuse in their job scope. It's OK if we give them multi-task work but they must know their limit power.
If staff confuse their job scope it's will affect their performance and also make them forget their position in that company. Why i said like that? For example one company hired admin staff in the company. At the same time he or she need to report to two person. One is under procurement who related with project and one side with boss who will give approval for buy any item for stock. So if sales got customer , they will instruct admin who will handle the item and then he or she need get approval for boss. But in the same time she or he also under procurement who will buy the item from supplier. Before buy, need approval. If she or he didn't get approval from boss, so how come the item will be buy from supplier. Isn't? Boss not always around us, right? So for that solution, company appoint one manager who will be action on behalf of boss. So meaning that, the person authorized to sign important thing document but the employer must give the cleared scope to the manager but in the same time employer also need to know the progress.
In that situation, employer should tell the person who they appoint as authorised person can act on behalf them. It's to make the person forgot what they can and can't do. They think they got power like a boss. Can make a decision without discuss with employer.
From the example situation that i gave, employer should tell the person who they appoint can act on behalf them about their limit action and also need to discuss or get approval from them. I think it's not hard for them to tell the boss before give approval right? All in our finger right know. IT here, so nothing impossible. If the boss hard to find, manager also can drop an email just to inform their employee right?
As a conclusion, i think multi-tasking good for workers because it will increase staff ability and also increased their learning. But make sure they know their job scope. Job scope it's really important to make sure everyone know their limit position. Know their action. If employer not realize that, it will make them hard to control management in the future.
