Directing

Easy

Rahul is the CEO of BrightSpark Ltd., a company manufacturing LED lighting solutions. The company recently launched a new line of smart LED bulbs with advanced features, expecting a surge in demand. However, after the launch, the sales were not meeting expectations, and employee morale seemed low.

Firstly, Rahul identified that there was a lack of proper communication between the marketing and production teams. He called a meeting to clearly communicate the company's goals and expectations for the new product.

Rahul appointed Priya, a senior manager, to act as a supervisor for the marketing team. Priya's job was to oversee day-to-day activities, guide the team, and resolve any conflicts. Her presence ensured that tasks were completed on time and in alignment with the company's objectives. She also provided feedback and recognized the efforts of team members, which boosted their morale.

Rahul implemented a reward system where employees exceeding their targets would receive incentives. Additionally, training sessions were organized to improve employees' skills and confidence in handling the advanced features of the new product.

"Rahul implemented a reward system where employees exceeding their targets would receive incentives". Which concept of management is highlighted here?

Planning

Motivation

Leadership

Delegation

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Planning involves setting goals and determining the course of action, not implementing reward systems for performance.

Option 2 -> Motivation involves inspiring employees to achieve better performance through incentives and rewards, which is exactly what the reward system does.

Option 3 -> Leadership focuses on guiding and influencing people, but the specific implementation of a performance-based reward system is primarily a motivation tool.

Option 4 -> Delegation refers to assigning tasks and authority to subordinates, which is unrelated to reward systems.

Hence, Option 2: Motivation -> The reward system with incentives for employees who exceed targets is a classic application of the motivation concept in management. It uses positive reinforcement (rewards) to encourage employees to perform better and achieve beyond their set targets, thereby driving productivity and performance -> correct
