Which of the following are the elements of directing?

(A) Communication

(B) Motivation

(C) Supervision

(D) Compensation

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Includes Compensation (D) which is not an element of directing but part of staffing/HRM.

Option 2 -> Includes Communication, Motivation, and Supervision which are the core elements of the directing function.

Option 3 -> Incorrectly includes Compensation (D) as an element of directing.

Option 4 -> Excludes Communication (A) which is a fundamental element of directing.


Hence, Option 2: (A), (B) and (C) only -> Directing consists of Communication (exchanging information), Motivation (inspiring employees), and Supervision (overseeing work). Compensation is part of the staffing function, not directing -> correct
