Question

In a company, top level management has not distributed work among the subordinates according to their abilities and skills but on the basis of caste and religions. Identify the step of the organising function which was not followed by the management properly:

Options

• Delegation of authority

• Assigning duties

• Division of work

• Grouping jobs

Answer 1

Assigning duties

Explanation:

Assigning duties is the step in the organising function where specific tasks are given to individuals based on their abilities, qualifications, and skills. In this case, since work was assigned based on caste and religion instead of merit, the management failed in properly assigning duties, not necessarily in dividing work or grouping jobs.
