Answer to Question 1

Parkinson argued that growth in the number of managers and hierarchical levels is controlled by two principles: (1 ) An official wants to multiply subordinates, not rivals, and (2 ) Officials make work for one another.

In turn, these subordinates realize the status advantages of having subordinates, so they try to increase the number of their subordinates, causing the hierarchy to become taller and taller.
