“…As well as the quality of mutual relations in all directions (horizontal, vertical and diagonal) and the existence and efficiency of staff departments are important. The level of process organization and standardization-if the level of organization is optimal and the individual processes are standardized, appropriate conditions are created to increase the span of control (Udell, 1967).…”

“…By identifying seven factors that affect span of control, Steiglitz (1962) and Barkdahl (1963) developed a program at Lockheed in an attempt to quantitatively calculate optimum spans of control. Other studies also pursued the search for a "correct" size with varying answers obtained (Pondy, 1969;Bell, 1967;Udell, 1967;Voila, 1970;Ouchi & Dowling, 1974).…”

“…Cette supposition est toutefois problématique puisque la cooccurrence de portées étroites des contrôles est typiquement associée à une augmentation du nombre des niveaux hiérarchiques (ex., Bedeian, 1984 11 Les quelques études empiriques qui ont examiné la communication et la portée des contrôles suggèrent un certain nombre de conclusions. D'abord, (1) la portée des contrôles n'a pas de lien avec la proportion dans laquelle un supérieur emploie des moyens de communication écrits, versus oraux, pour interagir avec ses subalternes (Udell, 1967). Elle ne semble pas davantage liée (2) à la proximité de la supervision (Bell, 1967), ni à la perception qu'a une personne subordonnée de la clarté de son rôle (Follert, 1982).…”
