Arrange the following steps of organizing process in the correct sequence:
(A) Duty assignment
(B) Dividing work into manageable activities
(C) The activities of a similar nature are grouped together.
(D) Creating authority and responsibility relationship
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> (C), (A), (B), (D) - Illogical sequence as grouping activities cannot occur before dividing the work into manageable parts.
Option 2 -> (C), (B), (A), (D) - Incorrect sequence as activities must first be divided before they can be grouped by similarity.
Option 3 -> (B), (C), (A), (D) - Follows the logical organizing process: first divide work, then group similar activities (departmentalization), assign duties, and finally establish authority-responsibility relationships.
Option 4 -> (B), (A), (C), (D) - Incorrect as duty assignment cannot happen before grouping similar activities together.
Hence, Option 3: (B), (C), (A), (D) -> The organizing process flows systematically: (B) Break down total work into smaller, manageable activities → (C) Group similar activities together (departmentalization) → (A) Assign specific duties to individuals/positions → (D) Establish clear authority and responsibility relationships to ensure accountability and coordination -> correct
