TASK 1
1.1 Compare different management styles that is observed in the organisation
Management is the procedure of managing and designing the surroundings in which people working
together in teams so as to meet the targeted objectives of the organisation. To meet the function of
management such as planning, organising, directing, staffing and controlling; TUI needs to use the two
management styles such as Autocratic and permissive. Further, these styles are sub divided which are to
be listed below:-
Autocratic management style: In this management style, manager’s in TUI makes the decisions without
including employee’s and its decision making relates to performance management (Boella, 2017).
Permissive management style: It is style in which manager enables subordinates to take part in decision
making. In this manager, gives flexibility to the employee’s to complete their daily tasks.
Autocratic and permissive style can be collaborated with democratic and directive. Democratic style in
which executive are allowed taking part in decision making and in directive style, subordinates are
actually told what has to be done. Moreover, prior to use of the relevant management style, it is
suggested to the TUI to have look on the collaborated styles:-
 In directive democrat management, employees are supervised closely and in decision making
employee participation is also done.
 In directive autocrat management, employees are supervised closely and employees are not
allowed in decision making that means unilateral decision by managers are done.
 In permissive democrat management, employees are given flexibility in carrying out their job
operations and participate in decision making (Styles et.al. 2015).
 In permissive autocrat management, employees are given flexibility in carrying out their job
operations but they are not involved in decision making and only manager’s makes decisions.
These management styles are further sub divided into democratic, persuasive and laissez faire.
