Match List-I with List-II
| List-I (Process of Organising) | List-II (Meaning) |
|---|---|
| (A) Departmentalisation | (I) Clearly defining the work of various job positions and allocating work to various employees accordingly. |
| (B) Establishing reporting relationships | (II) The establishment of clear association stating where to take orders from and to whom the employee is accountable. |
| (C) Identification and division of work | (III) Grouping the activities on the basis of similarity. |
| (D) Assignment of duties | (IV) Identifying and dividing the work that has to be done. |
Solution
Option 1 -> Matches A with IV (incorrect - departmentalisation is not about identifying/dividing work, it's about grouping similar activities).
Option 2 -> Matches A with I (incorrect - departmentalisation is not about assigning duties to employees, it's about grouping activities).
Option 3 -> Matches B with IV (incorrect - establishing reporting relationships is not about identifying/dividing work, it's about creating accountability chains).
Option 4 -> A-III (Departmentalisation = Grouping similar activities), B-II (Reporting relationships = Clear chain of command), C-IV (Identification/division = Identifying and dividing work), D-I (Assignment of duties = Allocating work to employees) - all matches are logically correct.
Hence, Option 4: (A)- (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I) -> Departmentalisation means grouping similar activities together; Establishing reporting relationships creates clear accountability lines; Identification and division of work involves recognizing and splitting tasks; Assignment of duties means allocating specific work to job positions and employees -> correct
