75 time span of discretion
HRthe time between starting and completing the longest task within a job, used as a measure of the level of a job within an organization. The time span of discretion was originated by Elliot Jaques as part of the Glacier studies. He saw two components to any job: prescribed and discretionary. The time span of the discretionary component refers to the longest span of time that employees spend working on a task on their own initiative, and often unsupervised. This reflects the amount of responsibility an individual has, and Jaques found that the time span of discretion rises steadily with the position of an employee in the company hierarchy. An hourly worker may have a one-hour time span of discretion, a middle manager may have one year, and a chief executive of a large company may have 20 years. -
