1. Review

Okay, Let us have a brief review of our past lesson.

Last meeting we had discussed the “Functions of
Management”, where in we already tackled the first
two functions – Planning and Organizing.

Anyone who can recite of what you have learned on the

functions of management?
What acronym you should remember in order to easily
remember it?
Any Volunteer? Okay, Tina what have you learned? Ma’am I have learned that the functions of
management are Planning, Organizing, Staffing,
Directing and Controlling, in short POSDICON.

That’s correct, thank you Tina. How about others? Ma’am I have learned that planning according to
Yes, Sally? Koontz and O’ Donnell is deciding in advance of
what to do, how to do and who is to do it. Also It
bridges the gap between where we are to, where we
want to go.

Another one? Ma’am Planning is basically a decision making

function which involves creative thinking and
 imagination that leads to innovation of methods for
growth and prosperity of the enterprise.

Very good, Thank you Sally. How about organizing? Ma’am Organizing is the function of management
Theo? that follows Planning. It helps in achievement of
results which in fact is important for the functioning
of the organization because of the synchronization
and combination of human, physical and financial
resources.

before that I will give you an activity prior I present our
new lesson.

Please get your notebook and answer “What You

Already Know?” for 5 minutes then later we will find
out how much you can learned by doing Self-check .

B. DEVELOPMENTAL PHASE

1. Motivation
Class, who among you have a sari-sari store? In our house we have a sari-sari store
Who manages/runs it? Yes Annie? and my mother solely manages the
activities in operating our store. She is
the one who buys, displays, arranges,
accounts and sells the goods or
merchandise to our clients. But
during weekends, I help my mother
to manage our store.
So, primarily the owner – your mother is the one manages your
store.

Then, who among you buy goods in the supermarket? What did There are many staff/workers attend
you observe? How many staff attends to manage/run the to manage the activities in the
activities of the supermarket? Yes Lyra? supermarket compare to a small
store, the sari-sari. Because once the
business grows, it needs a greater
number of persons who will look after
the activities of it.
Yes very good! In a small business like a sari-sari store, the
owner may not need others to help him/her in running the
store, as he/she may himself be able to look after all the
activities. But as the business grows in size he/she may find it
difficult to manage all the activities alone and may have to find
out suitable persons and employ them.
*It is quite possible that you may start in running your own
business and face such a situation and employ people to assist
you in running the business. *Alternatively, you yourself may be
a job seeker, in both situations, you may find it useful if you
know how employees are recruited, selected, and trained for
various positions in an organization. You will learn in detail
about the staffing function.

meaning and importance of staffing and its steps involves in the

3. PRESENTATION -

MEANING OF STAFFING
The term ‘Staffing’ relates to the recruitment, selection,
development, training and compensation of the managerial
personnel.

Staffing refers to the managerial function of employing and

developing human resources for carrying out various
managerial and non-managerial activities in an
organization.

It comes as a third step – next to planning and organizing in

a newly created enterprise, but in an ongoing enterprise it
is a continuous process.
a continuous process because the organization’s need to
retain and update its personnel is a never ending exercise

NATURE OF STAFFING
Staffing is an integral part of human resource management.
And its wider sense, it also includes the activities of
determining the remuneration of workers, appraising
their performance, and deciding on their promotion,
transfers, etc.

Every manager is continuously engaged in
performing the staffing function.
(He actively associated with recruitment, selecction, training

Thus, staffing is a general function of management and is
performed by the managers at all levels.
But it does not mean that the managers at different levels are
relieved of the responsibility concerned with staffing.
The personnel Department is established to provide
assistance to the managers in performing the staffing
function. Thus every manager has to share the responsibility.

3. Human Skills

development of human resources.)
Every manager should use human relation skill in
providing guidance and training to the subordinates.

relations in the organization will be cordial.)
