Question

Which of the following is not an importance of staffing?

• A. Helps in discovering and obtaining competent personnel
• B. Ensures optimum utilisation of physical resources
• C. Improves job satisfaction and morale
• D. Ensures succession planning for managers

Hint:

Staffing deals exclusively with acquiring, developing, and maintaining people in an organization. Managing physical resources like equipment and materials is the role of operations or resource management.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Staffing is primarily concerned with managing human resources within an organization. Its importance includes recruiting the right people, improving employee morale, and planning for future leadership through succession planning. However, ensuring the optimum utilisation of physical resources—such as machinery, equipment, and materials—is outside the scope of staffing. This responsibility falls under operations or resource management. Physical resource management focuses on the effective and efficient use of tangible assets rather than human capital. Thus, (b) is not a direct importance of staffing.
