Yes, that is correct. A narrow span of control refers to a situation where a supervisor manages a limited number of employees. This allows for more direct supervision and closer relationships between the supervisor and their team members. In this structure, supervisors can provide more guidance and support, leading to potentially higher quality of work and better communication.
However, a narrow span of control can also lead to higher costs, as more supervisors are needed to manage the same number of employees compared to a wider span of control, where a supervisor oversees a larger team. The choice between narrow and wide spans of control often depends on several factors, including the nature of the work, the level of employee experience, and the organizational structure.
