Question : Which of the following is not a function of directing?
Option 1: Issuing orders
Option 2: Supervising subordinates
Option 3: Solving conflicts among employees
Option 4: Recruiting and selecting employees
Correct Answer: Recruiting and selecting employees
Solution :
Directing is a critical function of management that involves guiding and supervising employees to achieve organizational goals. It includes issuing orders, supervising subordinates, and resolving conflicts among employees to ensure that they work together efficiently. However, recruiting and selecting employees is not a function of directing, but rather a part of the staffing function of management.
Hence Option D is correct.
