Which of the following correctly matches the management function with its description as per the classical POSDCORB framework?

• A Staffing means recruiting volunteers for community programmes
• B Coordinating means interrelating the various parts of the work ✓
• C Reporting means submitting annual financial audits
• D Budgeting means preparing job descriptions for employees

Explanation

POSDCORB, described by Luther Gulick, lists planning, organising, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting and budgeting as the functions of an executive. Coordinating specifically means interrelating the various parts of the work and ensuring they fit together. Staffing means the whole personnel function of recruitment, training and conditions of work, not just volunteers. Reporting means keeping the executive informed through records and inspection, not financial audit alone, and budgeting is fiscal planning, not job descriptions.
