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
59
Lesson 1. Concept and Nature of Staffing
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

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

consideration involves special skills like an airplane pilot, a more elaborate process is
undertaken.
Types of Test:
63
2. Physical and Medical Examination – is done to assess the applicant’s
physical health is adequate to meet the job requirements.
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
Both training and development are very essential to the success of today’s
organizations.
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 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.

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.
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.

Summary
Staffing deals with the determination of human resource needs, recruitment, selection,
training and development.
The staffing process consists of human resource planning, recruitment, selection,
induction and orientation, training and development, performance appraisal,
employment decisions, and separations.
The sources of applications consist of the organization’s current employees,
newspaper advertising, schools, and referrals from employees, recruitment firms, and
competitors.
The ways of determining the qualifications of job candidates consist of application
blanks, references, interviews, and testing.
Employment decisions are classified as monetary rewards, promotion, transfer, and
demotion.
Separation may be classified as either voluntary or involuntary.
Employee compensation is another area of concern for staffing. The factors that affect
compensation are performance, the relative worth of each job within the firm, labor
market conditions, and prevailing wage rates, and the type of pay system used.
The management of employee relations is important in maintaining efficiency in
production (Medina, 2015).

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
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.
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.
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:
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:
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).
77
Highest need level; need to fulfill oneself; to grow and
use abilities to fullest and most creative extent Self-actualization
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).
78
Highest need level; need to fulfill oneself; to grow and
use abilities to fullest and most creative extent
Growth Needs
Need for esteem of others; respect, prestige, recognition,
need for self-esteem, personal sense of competence, mastery
Most basic of all human needs; need for biological maintenance; Existence Needs
need for food, water, and sustenance
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.
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).

2.1 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).
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.
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:
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).
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).
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).
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
• 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).

decision making; consulting
with them and asking for
suggestions; using these
suggestions when making
decisions.

CONTROLLING
Introduction
Learning Outcomes
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.

ssary/gantt-chart/ (n.d.)
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

by Dr. John R. Schermerhorn
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.
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.

97
Types of Control
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
