MODULE 5
STAFFING

Introduction

After deciding on the type of the organization structure that will best serve the interest
of the business firm, the next step that will have to be made is to fill the identified positions
with the most qualified persons available.

Medina (2015), also mentioned that business organizations are very sensitive to
whatever staffing errors are made. Placing the wrong person in a highly specialized position
like quality control, for instance, may bring enough damage to the firm to cause its bankruptcy.
Yet, this refers to a single error in staffing.

There is no doubt that effective staffing places the company on a competitive stance.
Effective staffing may not make a company number ne among competitors, but ineffective
staffing will make the company’s survival highly improbable (Medina, 2015).

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this module, the learners should be able to:


1. discuss the concept and nature of staffing (ABM_AOM11-IIa-b-20);
2. analyze the process of recruiting, selecting, and training employees (ABM_AOM11-IIa-b-
21 and 22);
3. examine the functions and importance of compensation, wages and performance
evaluation, appraisal, reward system, employee relations and movement (ABM_AOM11-
IIa-b-23, 24, and 25); and
4. create a job analysis for accountant position of his/her future business.

Lesson 1. Concept and Nature of Staffing

Cabrera et al (2016) defined Staffing as the


filling up of all organizational job positions and
keeping these positions filled with the persons who
are most qualified to do the job.

The definition of staffing according to


Medina (2015), it is a Management function that
determines human resources needs, recruits,
selects, trains, and develops human resources for Source:https://www.aceboston.net/2020/
jobs created by an organization. 03/09/heres-why-is-staffing-important-in-
organizations/
Systems Approach to Staffing (Staffing Procedures) is the step by step of filling up
jobs positions in organizations.

Variables to consider in the system approach to staffing according to Cabrera et al


(2016) are:
1. Numbers and Kinds of Human Resources Needed
2. Open Managerial and Non Managerial Positions
3. Potential Successors to open position among others

Management Successions / Replacements Chart contains the names of potential


successors to managerial positions.

Lesson 2. Process of Recruiting, Selecting, and Training of Employees

According to Medina (2015) the Staffing process consists of the following series of
steps:
1. Human Resources Planning
2. Recruitment
3. Selection
4. Induction and Orientation
5 Training and Development
6. Compensations / Wages Performance Appraisal (Performance Evaluation)

60
7. Employment Decisions
8. Separations

He explained, Human Resource Planning the planned output of any organizations will
require a systematic deployment of Human Resources at various Levels. The goal is to make
sure that the most qualified people are always in place when needed by the company. The
Manager need to involve
himself with human resource
planning. This will be done in
conjunction with the efforts of
the human resource officer.
Human resource planning
Source: https://www.allegiancestaffing.com/blog/important-
may involve the following
steps-in-staffing/ (2018)
activities:

1. Forecasting – is an assessment of future human resource needs of the organization


in relation to its current capabilities.

2. Programming – means translating the forecasted human resource needs to


personnel objectives and goals.

3. Evaluation and Control – refers to monitoring human resource action plans and
evaluating their success.

The foundations of HR Planning are:

1. Job Analysis studies what is done in a job and why

2. Job Description details the duties and responsibilities of a job holder,


consisting of the following: job title, job code, department boss/supervisor, job
summary, and duties/responsibilities

3. Job Specifications list the qualities required of a job holder

61
Recruitment refers to attracting qualified persons to apply for vacant positions in the
company so that those who are best suited to serve the company may be selected.

2 Types of Recruitment according to Cabrera et al. (2016):

1. External Recruitment is the recruitment of applicants for filling-up vacant


positions from outside the company. The following are methods of External
Recruitment:

1.1 Advertisements 1.6 Educational Institutions


1.2 Unsolicited Application 1.7 Professional Associations
1.3 Internet Recruiting 1.8 Labor Unions
1.4 Employee Referrals 1.9 Public / Private Employment
1.5 Executive Search Firms 1.10 Competitors

2. Internal Recruitment is the recruitment of applicants for the filling-up vacant


positions inside or within the company.

NOTE: For entry level positions, HR Manager will rely on News Paper
Advertising, Schools, and Referrals. For manager level positions, reliable
resources are Current Employees, Recruitment Firms, and Competitors.

Cabrera et al. (2016) defined Selection as the process of choosing individuals who
have required qualifications to fill present and expected future job openings. They also added
that Selection process is
quite hard as there is a
difference between what
individuals can do, at
present, and what they will
do in the future. It may be
simple or complicated
depending on the costs of a
Source: https://tinyurl.com/y5dqkj9c (2017) wrong decision. Example,
in the case of laborer position is easy to make decision but when the position under

62
consideration involves special skills like an airplane pilot, a more elaborate process is
undertaken.

Ways of Determining the Qualifications of a Job Candidate (Medina, 2015):

1. Application Blanks- Provides information about a person. Ex: Biodata,


Resume or Portfolio
2. References – Character reference from previous employers, co-workers,
teachers, etc.
3. Interviews – Asking series of relevant questions to the job candidate.
3.1 Structured – Ask applicant to answer a set of prepared questions
3.2 Unstructured – No guide and may ask questions freely
3.3 One on One
3.4 Panel Interview
4. Test – Involves an evaluation of the future behavior or performance of an
individual

Types of Test:

1. Psychological Test is an objective, standard measure of a sample behavior


of the individual. It is further classified as follows:
1.1 Intelligence Test - a test designed to measure the ability to think
and reason rather than acquired knowledge.

1.2 Proficiency and Aptitude Test – measures a person’s capacity or


potential ability to learn.
1.3 Performance Test – measures a person’s current knowledge of a
subject by means of task or activity.
1.4 Personality Test – measures personality traits such as dominance,
sociability, and conformity.
1.5 Interest Test – measures a person’s interest in various fields of
work.

63
2. Physical and Medical Examination – is done to assess the applicant’s
physical health is adequate to meet the job requirements.

Induction and Orientation – After an applicant is finally selected and subsequently


hired. According to Medina (2015) the new employee will undergo Induction – it means, he is
provided with the necessary information about the company. His duties, responsibilities, and
benefits are relayed to him. Personnel and health forms are filled out, and passes are issued.
The company history, its products and services, and the organization structure are explained
to the new employee; and Orientation – the new employee is introduced to the immediate
working environment and co-workers. Location, rules, equipment, procedures, training plans,
and performance expectations are discussed. The new employee also undergoes the
“socialization process” by pairing him an experienced employee and having a one-on-one
discussion with the manager.

Training and Development – If the newly-hired (or newly-promoted) employee is


assessed to be lacking the necessary skills required by the job, training becomes a necessity.

Cabrera et al (2016) defined Training


is learning given by organizations to its
employees that concentrates on short term
job performance and acquisition or
improvement of job-related skills. While
Medina (2015) explained Training programs
may be classified into the following: Source:https://kissflow.com/hrprocess/employee-
training/employee-training-and-development/ (2018)

1. Training Programs for Non-Managers. This type of Training is directed to non-


managers to increase knowledge and skills to perform a particular job. The four
methods under this type are:
1.1 On the Job training
1.2 Vestibule School
1.3 Apprenticeship Program
1.4 Special Courses

64
2. Training Program for Managers – The training needs of managers may be classified
into four areas:
2.1 Decision Making Skill
2.2 Interpersonal Skills
2.3 Job Knowledge
2.4 Organizational Knowledge

Development is the learning given by organizations to its employees that is geared


towards the individual’s acquiring and widening of his/her skills in preparation for future job
appointments and other responsibilities (Cabrera et al., 2016).

Developing employees is a part of the organization’s career management program


and its goal is the matching of the individual’s development needs with the needs of the
organization.

The different learning principles include: modelling, feedback and reinforcement,


massed vs. distributed learning, goal setting, taking into account individual differences, active
practice, and repetition.

Both training and development are very essential to the success of today’s
organizations.

Lesson 3. Guidelines on Compensation/Wages, Performance


Evaluation/Appraisal, and Reward

One of the important aspects of staffing is employee compensation. Compensation


are all forms of pay given by employer to their employees for the
performance of their jobs. Certain factors determine the salary
or wages paid to employees (Medina, 2015);

1. Performance – The achievement of the organization’s


objectives will depend on the individual and collective
performance of its employees.
Source: https://tinyurl.com/yyvbjntm (n.d.)

65
2. The relative worth of each job – To determine a relative worth, job evaluation is
undertaken. This activity allows organization to rank jobs and determine their hierarchy
of importance across all jobs in organization.

3. Labor Market Conditions and Prevailing Wage Rates – Some jobs may be similar
with other jobs. Some of them, however, will be paid higher rates because of bigger
demand for them.

4. Types of Pay System Used – Difference in pay among similar jobs in and out of the
company depend on the type of pay system adapted. Wages may vary because of
seniority, company productivity, and profit sharing considerations.

Compensation Types according to Cabrera et al. (2016):

1. Direct – refers to salaries, incentive pays, bonuses, and commissions.


2. Indirect – given by employers such as travel, educational, health benefits,
and others.
3 Non- Financial – includes recognition programs, being assigned to do
rewarding jobs, enjoying management support, ideal work environment, and
convenient work hours.

Compensation Bases include piecework, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

Performance Evaluation is a process done, usually once a year, to measure the work
performance. Administrative purpose of performance evaluation is used as basis for decisions
related to compensation, promotions,
transfers and terminations. The
Development purpose of performance
evaluation provides information about
employees’ performance, and strengths
and weaknesses that they may use as
basis for deciding their training and
development needs.
Source: https://tinyurl.com/y32sbh47 (2018)

66
Performance Evaluation / Appraisal, it is the measurement of employee performance.
The purposes of performance appraisals are as follows (Medina, 2015):
1. to influence, in a positive manner, employee performance and development;
2. to determine merit pay increase;
3. to plan for future performance goals;
4. to determine training and development needs; and
5. to assess the promotion potential of employees.

Employment Decisions. After evaluating the performance of


employees (managerial or otherwise) the management will now be
ready to make employment decisions. These may consist of the
following: Monetary Rewards. Promotion, Transfer, and Demotion.
Source: https://tinyurl.com/yyheqtmr (n.d.)
Rewards – monetary or non-monetary, are given for merit service or achievement by
employers to their employees.

Separation It is either a voluntary or involuntary termination of an employee’s services.


In the case of a made voluntary termination, the organizations management must find out the
real reason. If the presence of a defect in the organization is determined, corrective action is
necessary. Involuntary separation (or termination) is the last option that the management
exercises when an employee’s performance is poor. This is usually made after training efforts
fail to produce positive results (Medina, 2015).

Lesson 4. Employee Relations and Employee Movements

Employee Relations is defined as the workers/employees being connected or related


to each other as they do their assigned tasks for the
organization to which they belong. Employees are social
beings who need connection or relations with other
beings, who are capable of giving them social support
as they do their assigned tasks in organizations. Social
support refers to: esteem, informational, and financial
Source: https://hraps.humboldt.edu/aps-
support (Cabrera et al., 2016).
collective-bargaining-agreements (n.d.)

67
Cabrera et al. (2016) mentioned there are some barriers to good employee relations,
such as anti-social personality, lack of trust in others, selfish attitude, lack of good self-esteem,
cultural and sub-cultural differences, and not a team player among others.

They added that overcoming barriers to good employee relations are developing a
heathy personality to overcome negative attitudes/behavior, finding time to socialize with co-
employees, developing good communication skills, overcoming dependence on electronic
gadgets, and trying to reduce cultural and sub-cultural differences.

Employee Movement are series of actions initiated by employee


groups towards an end or specific goal. A good example is Labor Union,
it is a formal union of employee/workers that deal with employers, as the
representative of workers in their pursuit of justice and fairness, and in
their fight for their collective/common interests. Source: https://tinyurl.com/y28ckwzc (2017)

Employees unionize because of financial needs, unfair management practices, and


social and leadership concerns. CBA stands for Collective Bargaining Agreement between
Management and Labor Union. Grievance procedure authorizes the labor union represent its
members in procuring a grievance or complaint.

MODULE 6
LEADING

Introduction

After the various requirements for maintaining a business organization are put in place,
the firm will still need a sort of an engine that will propel it to become a successful venture.
When competitors are beginning to demonstrate the ability to derail the plans of the company,
somebody must take charge of not letting this happen.

Assets, even if they are abundant, cannot, on their own, achieve company objectives.
Human resources, even if they are fully trained and properly motivated, may still proceed to
move toward the wrong direction. Some employees are easily affected by disruptions and
minor failures. The potential damage may be great if these few persons perform key functions.
The effective use of assets will need the wisdom of somebody who will provide guidance on
their proper utilization. Somebody must console the employees who are distracted by minor
setbacks. Somebody must uplift their spirits when they feel demoralized.

Successful firms recognize the need to address the above-mentioned concerns and
the answer lies on effective leadership. As a result, they place a high priority on providing
leadership training.

Managers, in whatever level they happen to be, are not exempted from the problem of
effective leadership. If this is really so, then they must be concerned with the management
function of leading (Medina, 2015).

74
Learning Outcomes

At the end of this module, the learners should be able to:


1. analyze motivation, leadership, and communication work in an organization (ABM_AOM11-
IIc-e-29,30, and 31); and
2. list his/her leadership traits and past experiences as a leader.

Lesson 1. Definition and Nature of Leading

Cabrera et al. (2016) defined Leading as a management function that involves the
inspiring and influencing of people in the organization to achieve a common goal.

Managing is the process of working with and through others to achieve organizational
objectives, efficiently and ethically amid constant change.

Successful leadership begins by focusing on the psychological well-being of both the


employer/leader and the employee/subordinate.

Personality is the unique combination of physical and mental characteristics that affect
how individuals react to situations and interact with others; and if unhealthy or not fully
functioning could cause conflicts/problems among them.

Healthy personality is possessed by persons who are fully functioning in mind, body,
and spirit.

Ideally, human resources of organizations must have a health fully-functioning


personality because when one is functioning at the highest level, one, inevitably, becomes
efficient in one’s work, and cooperative with managers/leaders and co-workers.

The Big Five Personality Traits that ensure success/efficiency in the workplace are
extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to
experience.
Schermerhorn, Osborn, Hunt, & Uhl-Bien (2012) defined The Big Five Personality
Dimensions as follows:

75
• Extraversion - outgoing, sociable, assertive
• Agreeableness - good-natured, trusting, cooperative
• Conscientiousness - responsible, dependable, persistent
• Emotional stability - unworried, secure, relaxed
• Openness to experience - imaginative, curious, broad-minded

Lesson 2. Motivation

At a simple level, it seems obvious that people do things, such as go to work, in order
to get stuff they want and to avoid stuff they don’t want. Overall, the basic perspective on
motivation looks something like this Figure 6.1:

Figure 6.1 Perspective of Motivation

In other words, you have certain needs or wants , and this causes you to do certain
things (behavior), which satisfies those needs (satisfaction), and this can change which
needs/wants are primary (either intensifying certain ones, or allowing you to move on other
ones).

So, Motivation refers to psychological process that arouse and direct goal-directed
behavior (Cabrera et al., 2016). Another meaning of motivation according Schermerhorn
(2013), it refers to forces within an individual that account for the level, direction, and
persistence of effort expended at work.

Motivation is the answer to the question “Why we do what we do?” The motivation
theories try to figure out what the “M” is in the equation “M motivates P” (motivators motivate
the person). It is the one most important duty of an entrepreneur – motivate people.

76
Motivation theories can be classified broadly into two different perspectives:

1. Content Theories 2. Process Theories

The content theories of motivation focus primarily on individual needs-physiological or


psychological deficiencies that we feel a compulsion to reduce or eliminate. The content
theories try to explain work behaviors based on pathways to need satisfaction and on blocked
needs. This chapter discusses Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, Alderfer’s ERG theory,
McClelland’s acquired needs theory, and Herzberg’s two-factor theory (Schermerhorn et al.,
2012).

The process theories of motivation focus on how cognitive processes as thoughts and
decisions within the minds of people influence their behavior. Whereas a content approach
may identify job security as an important individual need, a process approach would probe
further to identify why the decision to seek job security results in certain work behaviors. Three
process theories discussed in this chapter are equity theory, expectancy theory, and goal-
setting theory (Schermerhorn et al., 2012).

1. Content Theories: Individual Needs and Motivation

1.1 Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory, depicted in Figure 6.2,


identifies five levels of individual needs. They range from self-actualization and esteem
needs at the top, to social, safety, and physiological needs at the bottom. The concept
of a needs “hierarchy” assumes that some needs are more important than others and
must be satisfied before the other needs can serve as motivators. For example,
physiological needs must be satisfied before safety needs are activated; safety needs
must be satisfied before social needs are activated; and so on. In short, an individual
strives to seek a higher needs when lower needs are fulfilled. Once a lower-level need
is satisfied, it no longer serves as source of motivation. Needs are motivators only
when they are unsatisfied (Schermerhorn et al., 2012).

77
Highest need level; need to fulfill oneself; to grow and
use abilities to fullest and most creative extent Self-actualization

Need for esteem of others; respect, prestige, recognition,


Esteem
need for self-esteem, personal sense of competence, mastery

Need for love, affection, sense of belongingness in


one’s relationships with other persons
Social

Need for security, protection, and stability in the


Physical and interpersonal events of day-to-day life
Safety

Most basic of all human needs; need for biological maintenance;


need for food, water, and sustenance Physiological

Figure 6.2 Higher-order and lower-order needs in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.


Source: Organizational Behavior 12th Edition (2012) by Dr. Schermerhorn et al.

1.2 Clayton Alderfer’s ERG theory is also based on needs, but it differs from
Maslow’s theory in three main respects. First, ERG theory collapses Maslow’s five
needs categories into three: existence needs, desires for physiological and material
well-being; relatedness needs, desires for satisfying interpersonal relationships; and
growth needs, desires for continued personal growth and development. Second, ERG
theory emphasizes a unique frustration-regression component. An already satisfied
lower-level need can become activated when a higher-level need cannot be satisfied.
If a person is continually frustrated in his or her attempts to satisfy growth needs
relatedness needs can again surface as key motivators. Third, unlike Maslow’s theory,
ERG theory contends that more than one need may be activated at the same time
(Scherrmerhorn et al., 2012).

1.3 McClelland’s acquired needs theory - In his 1961 book entitled, “The
Achieving Society’’ , David McClelland identify three basic needs that people develop
and acquire from their life experiences.

 Needs for achievement - is the desire to do something better or more


efficiently, to solve problems, or to master complex tasks.
 Needs for affiliation - is the desire to establish and maintain friendly and
warm relations with others.

 Needs for power - is the desire to control others, to influence their


behavior, or to be responsible for others.

Although this categories of needs are not exclusive, generally, individuals a


dominant bias or emphasis towards one of the three needs. Entrepreneur usually have
a high degree of achievement needs (Schermerhorn et al., 2012).

79
1.4 Herzberg’s two-factor theory - Frederick Herzberg took yet another
approach in his studies of individual needs and motivation. He began by asking
workers to report the times they felt exceptionally good about their jobs and the times
they felt exceptionally bad about them. Results showed that people talked about very
different things when they reported feeling good or bad about their jobs. Herzberg
explained these results using what he called the two factor theory, also known as the
motivator-hygiene theory. This theory identifies motivator factors as primary causes of
job satisfaction and hygiene factors as primary causes of job dissatisfaction
(Schermerhorn et al., 2012).

Hygiene factors are sources of job dissatisfaction, and they are found in the
job context or work setting. That is, they relate more to the setting in which
people work than to the nature of the work itself. The two-factor theory
suggests that job dissatisfaction occurs when hygiene is poor. But it also
suggests that improving the hygiene factors will not increase job satisfaction; it
will only decrease job dissatisfaction. Among the hygiene factors shown on the
left in Figure 6.3, perhaps the most surprising is salary. Herzberg found that a
low base salary or wage makes people dissatisfied, but that paying more does
not necessarily satisfy or motivate them (Schermerhorn et al., 2012).

Motivator factors, shown on the right in Figure 6.4, are sources of job
satisfaction. These factors are found in job content—what people actually do
in their work. They include such things as a sense of achievement,
opportunities for personal growth, recognition, and responsibility. According to
two-factor theory, the presence or absence of satisfiers or motivators in
people’s jobs is the key to satisfaction, motivation, and performance. When
motivator factors are minimal, low job satisfaction decreases motivation and
performance. When motivator factors are substantial, high job satisfaction
raises motivation and performance (Schermerhorn et al., 2012).

2. Process Theories of Motivation

2.1 Adams’s equity theory posits that people will act to eliminate any felt
inequity in the rewards received for their work in comparison with others.

The basic foundation of equity theory is social comparison. Think back to the
earlier questions. When you receive a grade, do you quickly try to find out what others
received as well? And when you do, does the interpretation of your grade depend on
how well your grade compared to those of others? Equity theory predicts that your
behavior upon receiving a grade—working less or harder in the course, will be based
on whether or not you perceive it as fair and equitable. Furthermore, that determination
is made only after you compare your results with those received by others.

Adams argues that this logic applies equally well to the motivational
consequences of rewards we receive at work. He believes that motivation is a function
of how one evaluates rewards received relative to efforts made, and as compared to
the rewards received by others relative to their efforts made. A key issue in this
comparison is “fairness.” And as you might expect, any feelings of unfairness or

81
perceived inequity are uncomfortable; they create a state of mind we are motivated to
eliminate (Schermerhorn et al., 2012).

2.2 Victor Vroom’s Expectancy Theory, suggests that motivation is a result of


a rational calculation—people will do what they can do when they want to do it. It looks
at how likely it is that the performances and outcomes will occur. An individual makes
voluntary choices about: (1) whether the job can be accomplished, (2) whether the
outcome will occur as a result of performing and (3) whether the outcome will be
desirable.

Figure 6.5 Vroom’s Expectancy Model.

2.3 Goal-Setting Theory, developed by J. Stacey Adams, a research


psychologist working for General Electric. Goal Setting Theory is based on the
hypothesis that specific goals lead to better performance than do vague goals.
Research supports this hypothesis. The clear implication for managers is that getting
employees to set and strive to attain specific, relatively challenging goals can
generates a strong motivational force.

One finding of the research is the relationship of task difficulty and effort. In
general, effort increase as task difficulty (goal) increases. However, there is a point at
which the task is perceived as being too difficult and the effort actually decreases. This
is represented by an inverted “U” curve.

Lesson 3. Leadership Theories and Styles

The subject of leadership has been studied for hundreds of years and reveals and
involving succession of theories. The earliest theories focus mostly on the character and

82
personality of successful leaders and how they behaved. The most recent theories focus on
what leaders actually do rather than on them needing to have certain innate qualities or traits.

Early trait theories attempted to create a list of leadership qualities and behaviors
associated with good leaders. They saw these aspects as what anyone who wanted to lead
needed to possess to be successful. The leader must have six basic qualities or behavioral
traits to be a leader they are:

• Honesty and integrity


• Emotional maturity
• Motivation
• Self-confidence
• Cognitive ability
• Achievement drive

Over time, scholars became increasingly uncomfortable with the notion of a “high high”
leader. They concluded that no one set of behaviors or style works best all of the time. And,
they developed a number of contingency approaches to explain the conditions for leadership
success in different situations. The following are Contingency Approaches to Leadership:

1. Fiedler’s Contingency Model - One of the first contingency leadership models was
developed by Fred Fiedler. He proposed that good leadership depends on a match or
fit between a person’s leadership style and situational demands. Fiedler believed that
leadership style is part of one’s personality and is difficult to change. Thus, he didn’t
place much hope in trying to train leaders to behave in different ways. He instead
suggested that leadership success comes from putting our existing styles to work in
situations for which they are the best fit. This requires both self-awareness of one’s
leadership style and a good understanding of the situational strengths and
weaknesses of that style (Schermerhorn, 2013).

Leadership style in Fiedler’s model is measured on the least-preferred


coworker scale, known as the LPC scale and found as the end-of-chapter self-

83
assessment. It describes tendencies to behave either as a task-motivated leader (low
LPC score) or relationship-motivated leader (high LPC score) (Schermerhorn, 2013).

Leadership situations in Fiedler’s model are assessed according to the amount


of control they offer the leader. Three contingency variables measure situational
control. The quality of leader–member relations (good or poor) measures the degree
to which the group supports the leader. The degree of task structure (high or low)
measures the extent to which task goals, procedures, and guidelines are clearly
spelled out. The amount of position power (strong or weak) measures the degree to
which the position gives the leader power to reward and punish subordinates .

Figure 6.6 shows eight leadership situations that result from different
combinations of these contingency variables. They range from the most favorable
situation of high control (good leader–member relations, high task structure, strong in
position power) to the least favorable situation of low control (poor leader–member
relations, low task structure, weak in position power) (Schermerhorn, 2013).

leadership model.

2. Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Model – According to Schermerhorn,


(2013) In contrast to Fiedler’s notion that leadership style is hard to change, the Hersey
- Blanchard situational leadership model suggests that successful leaders do adjust
their styles. But they do so wisely and based on the task readiness, or task maturity,
of followers. “Readiness,” in this sense, refers to how able and willing or confident

84
followers are to perform required tasks. The four leadership styles to choose from are
shown in Figure 6.7 as:

•Delegating—allowing the
group to take responsibility for
task decisions; a low-task, low-
relationship style.

•Participating—emphasizing
shared ideas and participative
decisions on task directions; a
low-task, high-relationship
style.
Figure 6.7 Leadership implications of the

directions in a supportive and
John R. Schermerhorn
persuasive way; a high-task, high-
relationship style.

• Telling—giving specific task directions and closely supervising work; a high-task, low-
relationship style.

Schermerhorn (2013) added that the delegating style works best in high-
readiness situations with able, willing, and confident followers. The telling style works
best at the other extreme of low readiness, where followers are unable and unwilling,
or insecure. The participating style is recommended for low-to-moderate-readiness
followers—able but unwilling, or insecure. And, the selling style is for moderate-to-
high-readiness followers—unable, but willing or confident.

Hersey and Blanchard also believe that leadership styles should be adjusted
as followers change over time. If the correct styles are used in lower-readiness
situations, followers will “mature” and grow in ability, willingness, and confidence. This
allows the leader to become less directive and more participative as followers mature.

85
Although the Hersey-Blanchard model is intuitively appealing, limited research has
been accomplished on it to date (Schermerhorn, 2013).

3. Path–Goal Leadership Theory - The path–goal theory advanced by Robert House


seeks the right fit between leadership style and situation. Unlike Fiedler, House
believes that a leader can use all of the following leadership styles and actually shift
back and forth among them (Schermerhorn, 2013):

• Directive leadership—letting followers know what is expected; giving directions on


what to do and how; scheduling work to be done; maintaining definite standards of
performance; clarifying the leader’s role in the group.

• Supportive leadership—doing things to make work more pleasant; treating team


members as equals; being friendly and approachable; showing concern for the
wellbeing of subordinates.

• Achievement-oriented leadership—setting challenging goals; expecting the highest


levels of performance; emphasizing continuous improvement in performance;
displaying confidence in meeting high standards.

• Participative leadership—
involving team members in
decision making; consulting
with them and asking for
suggestions; using these
suggestions when making
decisions.

Lesson 4. Communication

Cabrera et al. (2016) defined Communication as the interpersonal exchange of


information and understanding among organization members. Communication may be verbal,
non-verbal, formal, and informal.

Communication direction and flow may be vertical (upward or downward), horizontal,


lateral, and diagonal. Communication networks are varied patterns of combined horizontal
and vertical flows of organizational communication.

Grapevine is an informal communication network; rumors/gossips are examples.

Barriers to communication filtering, emotions felt by the receiver, information overload,


defensiveness, language used, and national culture. Overcoming barriers to communication
include using feedback, using simple language, active listening, controlling emotions, and
observing body language (Cabrera et al., 2016).

Summary

 Motivating is the management action of giving employees reason or incentives to work


to achieve organizational objectives. Motivation is the process of activating behavior,
sustaining it, and directing it towards a particular goal.
 The factors contributing to motivation consist of willingness to do a job, self-confidence
in carrying out a task, and needs satisfaction.
 Motivation theories can be classified broadly into two different perspectives, Content
Theories and Process Theories.
 There are four motivation under content theories that are crucial to management:
Maslow’s need hierarchy theory, Herzberg’s two-factor theory, expectancy theory, and
goal setting theory.
 In motivation process theories of motivation, we have: Adam’s Equity theory, Vroom’s
Expectancy theory, and Goal Setting Theory.
 Communication is the interpersonal exchange of information and understanding
among organization members. Communication may be verbal, non-verbal, formal, and
informal. Communication direction and flow may be vertical (upward or downward),
horizontal, lateral, and diagonal.
 Grapevine is an informal communication network; rumors/gossips are examples.
 Barriers to communication filtering, emotions felt by the receiver, information overload,
defensiveness, language used, and national culture. Overcoming barriers to
communication include using feedback, using simple language, active listening,
controlling emotions, and observing body language.

MODULE 7
CONTROLLING

Introduction

Keeping in touch . . . staying informed . . . being in control: These are important


responsibilities for every manager. But control is a word like power. If you aren’t careful when
and how it’s used, the word carries a negative connotation. Yet, control plays a positive and
necessary role in the management process. To have things “under control” is good; for things
to be “out of control” is generally bad (Scherrmerhorn, 2013).

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this module, the learners should be able to:


1. apply the concept and nature of different control methods and techniques in accounting and
marketing (ABM_AOM11-IIf-h-34, 36, and 37); and
2. create a Gantt chart for pre-opening of his/her future business.

Lesson 1. Nature of Controlling

Cabrera et al. (2016) defined Controlling as a management function that ensures the
work performance of the organization’s members are in-line with the organization’s values
and standards.

Control techniques are basically the same for controlling financial resources, office
management, quality of service, and quality of goods, among others.

The control process involves establishing standards, measuring and reporting actual
performance and comparing it with standards, and taking action.

94
Control methods are techniques used for measuring an organization’s financial
stability, efficiency, effectiveness, production output, and organization members’ attitudes and
morale. Control techniques are either quantitative or non-quantitative. Quantitative control
methods include chart, budget, and audits.

One of the example of Quantitative control is Gantt Chart in project management. It is


a graphical display of the scheduling of tasks required to complete a project. Henry Gantt, an
industrial engineer, developed this chart in the early twentieth century. It is still used in today’s
project management. It helps in the sequencing of activities related to the project, ensuring
that work gets done in time for later work to build upon them. Gantt chart tries to avoid delays
in finishing earlier tasks that may cause delays in later tasks that will follow.

Figure 7.1A Example of a Gantt Chart. Figure 7.1B Example of a Gantt Chart.
Source: https://www.rff.com/gantt2.php (n.d.) Source:https://www.productplan.com/glo
ssary/gantt-chart/ (n.d.)

Non-quantitative control methods include inspections, direct supervision, on the spot


checking, performance evaluation, and counselling.

Always remember that there is a link between planning and controlling. Planning
determines the organization’s good or performance objectives. Controlling makes sure that all
organization members are working towards a common direction or towards the previously set
goals and plans of the organization.

95
Lesson 2. Control Methods and System

According to Schermerhorn (2013) the control process involves the four steps shown
in Figure 7.2. They are (1) establish performance objectives and standards; (2) measure
actual performance; (3) compare actual performance with objectives and standards; and (4)
take corrective action as needed.
Although essential to management,
these steps apply equally well to
personal affairs and careers. Think about
it. Without career objectives, how do you
know where you really want to go? How
can you allocate your time and other
resources to take best advantage of
available opportunities? Without
measurement, how can you assess any
progress being made? How can you
adjust current behavior to improve

Figure 7.2 Four steps in the control process. prospects for future results?
Source: Management 12th Edition (2013)
by Dr. John R. Schermerhorn

Schermerhorn (2013) explained the following Steps in the Control Process:

1. Establishing Performance Objectives and Standards - The control process begins


with planning, when performance objectives and standards for measuring them are set. It can’t
start without them.
 What has to be achieved must first be determined.
 Sales Targets. (Quantity)
 Production Targets. (Quantity and Quality)
 Worker Attendance. (Rate of absences)
 Safety Records. (Number of accidents for given periods)
 Supplies Used. (Monetary terms for given periods)

96
2. Measure Actual Performance - It is the point where output standards and input
standards are used to carefully document results. Performance measurements in the control
process must be accurate enough to spot significant differences between what is really taking
place and what was originally planned. Without measurement, effective control is not possible.
 When shortcoming occur, adjustment could be made. The adjustments will
depend on the actual findings.

3. Comparing Actual Performance to Objectives and Standards - You can remember


its implications by this control equation:

Need for Action = Desired Performance - Actual Performance


 Actual production output, for instance, will be compared with the target
output.
 A construction firm entered into a contract with the government to
construct a 100-kilometer road within 10months. It would be then
reasonable for management to expect at least 10 kilometers every
month. As such, this must be verified every month.

4. Take Corrective Action - The final step in the control process is to take the action
needed to correct problems or make improvements. Management by exception is the practice
of giving attention to situations that show the greatest need for action. It saves time, energy,
and other resources by focusing attention on high-priority areas.

Managers should be alert to two types of exceptions. The first is a problem situation
where actual performance is less than desired. It must be understood so that corrective action
can restore performance to the desired level. The second is an opportunity situation where
actual performance turns out higher than what was desired. It must be understood with the
goal of continuing or increasing the high level of accomplishment in the future.
 Taking the opportunity to take corrective action.
 Only 15 kilometers was constructed in two months.
 Hire Additional Personnel
 Use more Equipment
 Require Overtime Work

97
Types of Control

One of the best ways to understand control is in respect to the open-systems


perspective in Figure 7.3. It shows how feedforward, concurrent, and feedback
controls link with different phases of the input–throughput–output cycle. Each type of
control increases the likelihood of high performance (Schermerhorn, 2013).

Figure 7.3 Feedforward, concurrent, and feedback controls.


Source: Management 12th Edition (2013) by Dr. John R. Schermerhorn

Feedforward controls, also called preliminary controls, take place before a


work activity begins. They ensure that objectives are clear, that proper directions are
established, and that the right resources are available to accomplish the objectives.
The goal is to solve problems before they occur by asking an important but often
neglected question: “What needs to be done before we begin?”

Concurrent controls focus on what happens during the work process.


Sometimes called steering controls, they make sure things are being done according
to plan. You can also think of this as control through direct supervision.

Feedback controls, also called post-action controls, take place after work is
completed. They focus on the quality of end results rather than on inputs and activities.
Feedback controls are largely reactive; the goals are to solve problems after they occur
and prevent future ones. They ask the question: “Now that we are finished, how well
did we do?”

98
Lesson 3. Application of Management Control in Accounting and
Marketing Concepts and Techniques

Financial Controls. According to Schermerhorn (2013) the pressure is ever present for
all organizations to use their financial resources well. And the global economic recession has
left no doubt that an important part of managerial control involves the analysis of financial
performance. Control is all about measurement, and there are a number of ways that financial
performance can be measured and tracked for control purposes.

The foundation for analysis using financial controls rests with the firm’s balance sheet
and income statement. The balance sheet shows assets and liabilities at a point in time. It will
be displayed in an Assets = Liabilities format. The income statement shows profits or losses
at a point in time. It will be displayed in a Sales - Expenses = Net Income format. You can
remember both from an accounting course or as simply summarized in Figure 7.4.

Figure 7.4 Basic foundations of a balance sheet and income statement.


Source: Management 12th Edition (2013) by Dr. John R. Schermerhorn

Managers should be able to use information from balance sheets and income
statements to understand a firm’s financial performance. Financial controls of this nature often
involve measures of liquidity—ability to generate cash to pay bills; leverage - ability to earn
more in returns than the cost of debt; asset management—ability to use resources efficiently
and operate at minimum cost; and profitability - ability to earn revenues greater than costs.
Some of the common financial ratios are listed here.

99
Liquidity - measures ability to meet short-term obligations
• Current Ratio _ Current Assets/Current Liabilities
• Quick Ratio or Acid Test _ Current Assets _ Inventories/Current Liabilities
Higher is better: You want more assets and fewer liabilities.

Leverage - measures use of debt


• Debt Ratio _ Total Debts/Total Assets
Lower is better: You want fewer debts and more assets.

Asset Management - measures asset and inventory efficiency


• Asset Turnover _ Sales/Total Assets
• Inventory Turnover _ Sales/Average Inventory
Higher is better: You want more sales relative to assets and inventory.

Profitability - measures ability to earn revenues greater than costs


• Net Margin _ Net Income/Sales
• Return on Assets (ROA) _ Net Income/Total Assets
• Return on Equity (ROE) _ Net Income/Owner’s Equity
Higher is better: You want high net income relative to sales, assets, and equity.

Financial ratios are very common in executive dashboards that organize business
intelligence information for decision making. The ratios lend themselves nicely to visual
displays that provide neat historical comparisons within the firm and for industry
benchmarking. They can also be used to set financial targets or goals to be shared with
employees and tracked to indicate performance success or failure (Schermerhorn, 2013).

Marketing Control. Marketing Metrics are used to document goals (essentially the
quantitative aspect of the company’s priorities), as well as to measure its effectiveness,
efficiency, and impact. For instance, a marketing manager may be evaluated on the basis of
sales, market shares, and profit. They may also be evaluated on the basis of market
penetration, as well as customer satisfaction. A marketing communication manager of a
business-to-business company may have a scorecard in terms of number of social media
shares, sales leads, and customer engagement. A territory account manager may be

100
measured on the basis of territory coverage, placement, display, inventory level, resale prices,
and goodwill within an approved expense-to-sales budget (Go, 2017).

Regular monitoring is done in order to evaluate performance and spot gaps, meaning,
the variance goals versus actual results. Redirection of activities can be done accordingly if
needed after evaluating the results of the preliminary data. Table 7.1 shows the process.

Further explanation of several approaches of the above marketing control are as


follows (Medina, 2008):
Sales Analysis – refers to a detailed breakdown of the company’s sales records. The
actual sales performance is compared with the target sales. The purpose of sales analysis is
to identify which of the various factors is causing the gap in performance.

Market-Share Analysis – is useful analytical tool to measure competitive performance


in marketing. A company’s share of the market indicates how strong the company is when

101
compared with competitors. A firm’s sales growth, for instance, may look good at 20 percent.
This attitude will change, however, if one finds out that the industry sales grew by 40 percent.

Sales-to-Expense Analysis – a certain percentage of expense over sales is usually


maintained by the firm. If this ratio goes up compared with previous years, it could be an
indication of a need for corrective action.

Attitude Tracking - The attitude of customers comprises a very important concern for
the company. If there is an unfavorable change, or even a tendency, it may seriously affect
the marketing performance of the firm. Customer attitudes must, therefore, be monitored so
that corrective actions may be initiated when necessary.

Profitability Analysis – An analysis of the profit contribution of the firm’s various


products, territories, customer groups, trade channels, and order sizes will surely provide vital
information for decision-making and control purposes. An unprofitable territory, for instance,
once made known in the analysis, may no longer be served.

Marketing Audit – A total evaluation program for the marketing effort is called a
marketing audit. In more specific terms, it is a systematic, critical, and unbiased review and
appraisal of the basic objectives and policies of the marketing function and of the organization,
methods, procedures, and personnel employed to implement those policies and to achieve
those objectives.

MODULE 9
SPECIAL TOPICS IN MANAGEMENT

Introduction

Need a job? Why not create one? That’s what Aling Machie did after the pandemic
Covid-19 shut down her work as a saleslady. Being a wife and a mother of two kids, it is not
possible for her to stop and do nothing. She pursue her online business to properly provide
the needs of her family.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this module, the learners should be able to:


1. explain the steps and importance of starting a family business (ABM_AOM11-IIj-40-41):
and
2. list down possible management mistakes that his/her future business will cause it to fail,
and give a solution on it.

Lesson 1. Starting a small-family business.

According to Cabrera et al. (2016) Entrepreneurship is an innovative, creative, risk-


taking, and growth-oriented behavior that brings new opportunities for
individuals/organizations to start a new business and produce new products/services that are
beneficial to society. Entrepreneurial ventures are organizations that persistently follow
opportunities characterized by creative and innovative activities that have service, growth, and
profitability as their principal goals

They also explained that Small business is a business that has fewer than 100 to 500
workers (depending on the prevailing commercial law in a particular country) independently
owned, operated, and financed; not always entrepreneurial in orientation and does not

115
dominate its industry; capital is low but is capable of producing goods or rendering services
designed to satisfy particular needs of customers.

Entrepreneurship also contributes some socio-economic benefits such as providing


employment for himself and other fellow Filipino citizens, thus helping solve the country’s
unemployment problems and additional source of tax of the government.

Entrepreneurial procedures includes the following according to (Cabrera et al, 2016):

a. formulate the business Vision-Mission statements;


b. segment the market into: geographical, demographical, psychological, and
behavioral;
c. find the target market;
d. understand the environment;
e. develop the business plan;
f. implement and monitor the business venture; and
g. maximize the utilization of business resources.

Business registration is a government requirement that orders new business owners


to furnish government agencies with necessary information prior to legal operation of your
business firm. The legal requirements in starting a business:

Basic permits

According to Victorino (2012, Nov 20) he explained clearly the following are the
business permits and licenses that are generally required to all business industries here in the
Philippines:

1. Barangay Clearance – The barangay clearance is a certificate that your business complies
with the requirements of the barangay where your business is located. To get a barangay
clearance, you may visit the barangay office where your business is located.

116
2. DTI Business Name (BN) Registration Certificate – This is the certificate of registration of
your business trade name. It gives you the power to use your registered business trade name
for business operation. It also protects your business name against being used and registered
by other business establishments. However, take note that DTI registration only gives you the
authority to use your business trade name, but it doesn’t give you the license to start operating
your business without getting the required licenses from other government offices, such as
BIR and Local Government Office (Mayor’s Office). Check out our post on how to register a
business trade name with the DTI.

3. SEC Certificate of Registration – Corporations (stock or non-stock) and partnerships have


to secure a certificate of incorporation or certificate of partnership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) to be considered as legal or juridical entities. These certificates
are also used as a requirement for registering with the BIR, Mayor’s Office, and other
government offices. Take note that sole proprietorship businesses are not registered with
SEC, but they are registered with the DTI. To register with SEC, you may reach the following
SEC address and contact information.

4. Mayor’s Business Permit. Businesses have to secure a Mayor’s Business Permit or the
Local Government Office where their business are located and operated. Requirements in
obtaining a Mayor’s Business permit vary from different cities or municipalities. This permit is
also a requirement by the BIR in issuing a BIR certificate of registration. You may read our
post on how to get a Mayor’s Business Permit for more information.

5. BIR Certificate of Registration. Any business must be registered with the Bureau of Internal
Revenue to comply with the Philippine tax requirements. BIR registration will assign a TIN
(Taxpayer Identification Number) to the company or business owner, will give the business
authority to print its official receipts and invoices, and registered its books of accounts. To

117
register with the BIR, you have to go to the BIR office which has the jurisdiction of the place
where your business is located. You may check out our post here about registering a business
with the BIR.

6. SSS Employer’s Registration. Republic Act No. 8282 or otherwise known as the Social
Security Act of 1997 requires businesses or business owners who use the services of another
person or employees in business, trade, industry, or any undertaking to be registered with the
SSS (Social Security System). For more information, check out our post on how to register a
