Under this system, authority flows vertically from top to bottom. On the other hand, responsibility goes upwards. Everyone is responsible for his work and is accountable to his boss. Since authority and responsibility flows in an unbroken straight line, this type of organization is strictly based on the principle of ‘unity of command’ and ‘scalar chain’.

The head of the branch is the Branch Manager who is a Scale II officer. He has the duty to maintain the branch and manage the other hierarchical employees under him. Then comes the Assistant Manager who manages the operations and loans facilities. Thereafter follows the Head Cashier and then the Computer Terminal Officer (CTO) who is responsible for
the operations of Networking and Management of the computer systems. After this follows the Head Peon who is responsible for receiving and dispatch of documents and letters.

Direction system in Central Bank of India: In Central Bank of India, the higher level managers have the power and authority in directing the lower level employees.

The other way employees also have the right to directly communicate with their department or branch head regarding any problems or needs. MOTIVATION Motivation can be defined as an inner urge or feeling which drives a person towards achievement of a set of goals. It is the most important factor for the performance of an individual. In management circle probably, the most popular explanations of motivation are based on the need of the individual .In short, all people have needs that they want satisfied. Some are primary needs such as those for food, shelter, sleep needs that deal with physical aspects of behavior. Secondary needs are psychological needs which are learned primarily through experience. This needs vary significantly by culture and by individuals. Secondary needs consist
of internal states such as the degree for power, achievement and love. Several theorists including Abraham Maslow, Fredrick Herzberg, David McCelland, Clayton Alderfer and Victor Vroom have provided theories to explain need such as source of explanation. Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory HIGHER LEVEL NEEDS TO SATISFY,OFFER: Self-actualization needs Creative and challenging work Participation in decision making Job flexibility and autonomy Esteem Needs Responsibility of an important job Promotion to higher status job Praise and recognition from boss LOWER LEVEL NEEDS TO SATISFY ,OFFER: Social Needs Friendly coworkers Interaction with customers Pleasant supervisor Safety Needs Safe working conditions Job security Base compensation and benefits Physiological Needs Rest and refreshment breaks Physical comfort on the job Reasonable work hours

Motivation practice in Central Bank of India In the case of Central Bank of India which is a Public Sector Undertaking(PSU) by the Government of India and is functioning in India since 1911, with 3563 Branches and 34826 employees, motivation has played an exceptional role for this organization. Out of the total number of employees about half of them are lowly educated and many lower level managers might be non-professionals. However while moving towards the factor of motivation, these large number of Indian masses who are just surviving with minimum needs, getting any kind of a job in a PSU like Central Bank of India is itself a motivating factor for them. The lower level employees give their time and energy to complete their duties in whatever post may be. As we rise towards middle and higher level managers, definitely they have the caliber but most of all what drives them is to out-shine, out-perform and live a standard life. With the implementation of the Sixth pay Commission in India in 2008, the salaries of the employees in public sector has been raised which is a very motivating factor. There is always a matter of job security among employees which is very secure while working in Central Bank of India. Apart from these every employee gets benefits like holdays, pension, perks and so on facilities. In the branch level the Branch Managers motivate the lower level employees in their branches. They will have to allow for leaves, give incentives and seminars and get trained the lower level employees according to their needs.
CONTROLLING Controlling consists of verifying whether everything occurs in conformities with the plans adopted, instructions issued and principles established. Controlling ensures that there is effective and efficient utilization of organizational resources so as to achieve the planned goals. Controlling measures the deviation of actual performance from the standard performance, discovers the causes of such deviations and helps in taking corrective actions. According to Brech, “Controlling is a systematic exercise which is called as a process of checking actual performance against the standards or plans with a view to ensure adequate progress and also recording such experience as is gained as a contribution to possible future needs.” Controlling has got two basic purposes ¨ It facilitates co-ordination. ¨ It helps in planning. Features of Controlling Function:  Controlling is an end function- A function which comes once the performances are made in conformities with plans.  Controlling is a pervasive function- which means it is performed by managers at all levels and in all type of concerns.  Controlling is forward looking- because effective control is not possible without past being controlled. Controlling always looks to future so that follow-up can be made whenever required.  Controlling is a dynamic process- since controlling requires taking reviewable method; changes have to be made wherever possible.
 Controlling is related with planning- Planning and Controlling are two inseparable functions of management. Without planning, controlling is a meaningless exercise and without controlling, planning is useless. Planning presupposes controlling and controlling succeeds planning. Basic Control Techniques The basic control techniques involve three steps:- a) Establishment of Standards: The first step in the control process logically would be to establish plans. However, since plans vary in detail and complexity standards are simply criteria of performance. Standards should reflect the various positions in an organization culture. b) Measurement of Performance: Although such measurement is not always practicable the measurement of performance against standards should ideally be done on a forward-looking basis so that deviations may be detected in advance of their occurrence and avoided by appropriate actions. If standards are appropriately drawn and if means are available for determining exactly what sub-ordinates are doing, appraisal of actual or expected performance is fairly easy. c) Correction of Deviation: Correction of deviations is the point at which control can be seen as a part of the whole system of management and can be related to the other managerial functions. Managers may correct deviations by redrawing their plans or by modifying their goals or by exercising their organizing function through reassignment or clarification of duties. Findings and Analyses in Controlling at Tura level: Controlling as seen from the Branch manager’s point of view, he has duty to justify the goal and targets assigned to him in the office. The following measures are taken by the branch manager in Tura level while controlling the employees.
· For absenteeism; it is very common problem happening in any organization. Whenever any employee is absent over his/her casual leave and goes absent without permission which hampers the proper functioning of the branch for that reason some amounts are deducted from their salary. · For underperformance; now a day’s almost all employees are recruited on fair and merit basis. However, due to any reason whenever the employees are unable to perform their tasks up to the standard, the branch manager enquires the matter personally and gives help by his own hands. If more is required, they also sent for training and development programs. · Breach of rules and regulations; it is a universal affair for people of any organization to behave dynamically and so employees often may find ways and means to break some rules and regulations like coming late to office, smoking in office premises or other misconducts. The branch manager has every right to speak face to face with these kinds of employees and give warning on repeated mistakes. If an employee makes a bad track record, his/her chances of getting promotion will be minimized. Overall all managers have to attain leadership and motivational seminars to keep self and other employee motivated.
