Question

Which of the following is NOT an element of directing?

• A. Delegation of Authority
• B. Motivation
• C. Communication
• D. Leadership

Hint:

Directing = Guiding and influencing people; Delegation = Assigning authority, part of organizing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Directing is the process of guiding, supervising, and motivating employees to achieve organizational goals. Key elements include motivation, communication, and leadership, which directly influence employee performance. Delegation of authority, however, is part of the organizing function, involving the distribution of tasks and powers, not directing.
