Question

Assertion (A): The HR department’s Compensation function includes managing employee training programs.

Reasoning (R): Compensation function involves structuring employee salaries, bonuses, and incentives.

Options

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

• Both A and R are true and R explains А.

• Both A and R are true but R does not explain А.

Answer 1

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

The assertion is false administering employee training and development programs falls within the development function of human resource management rather than the compensation function. The reasoning is true since, by definition, the compensation function is solely concerned with establishing fair and equitable monetary rewards, which includes structuring basic salaries, bonuses, commissions, and nonmonetary incentives. As a result, the two notions represent unique organizational roles.
