(KN) If manager handles more employees, gives a sense of increased responsibility & he/she can handle higher workload as well.
(AN) thus due to this the manager may become prone to difficult tasks and will be able to do them much easily without any hesitation, as they will be motivated
(AN+) and thus due to this it will lead towards promotion for the managers for working hard and as well as that the company's productivity would also improve.

(KN) Increased burden leading to burnout /lack of creativity.
(AN) thus due to this the worker may not work as well as before and their productivity may depreciate, due to lack of motivation,
(AN+) thus due to this the worker's efficiency may also fall and they may decide to resign, other than that the business my also get effected negatively and will lose its brand image to some extent too or potential customers.

[KN] If manager handles more employees, gives a sense of increased responsibility & he/she can handle higher workload as well.

[KN] If manager handles more employees, gives a sense of increased responsibility & he/she can handle higher workload as well.
[AN] There are more people looking to a manager for direction and decision-making when they are in charge of a larger team.
In addition to their own responsibilities, the manager now has to take care of the work output, growth, and welfare of a greater number of workers.
[AN+] It illustrates how managerial abilities can grow to accommodate increasingly intricate and wide-ranging duties inside a company.

[KN] Increased burden leading to burnout /lack of creativity.
[AN] Employee job satisfaction declines and general well-being suffers when they are routinely overworked and under stress.
[AN+] Organizations may need to implement strategies like employee support programs, workload management, and a culture that promotes a healthy work-life balance in order to address these issues or else business's output will fall.
