MCQ
Solution
Directing is initiated at the top level.
Explanation:
Directing is the process in which the top level management instructs, encourages and guides subordinates to achieve certain goals and objectives. Under the directing function, instruction flows from the top- to bottom-level management; that is, it starts from the managers and ends at the subordinate level. Hence, it can be said that directing is initiated at the top level.

Asha is living in a small village in Rajasthan. Her mother has good culinary skills. Inspired by her mother she joined a course in 'Food and Beverages Production' in Jaipur. After completing her course she asked her mother to open a sweets shop in Jaipur, to which her mother agreed. The business was doing well and had started growing. To expand her business she felt the need for additional personnel. Instead of selecting personnel from any other source she thought of helping her relatives and appointed five of them. But after doing all their efforts she found that none of her relatives were providing satisfactory service leading to lower productivity. Also, the quality of the products started deteriorating. This made Asha realize that the ability of an organisation to achieve its goals depends upon the quality of its human resources. This was ignored by her at the time of selecting the personnel for her expansion of the program. |
