Correct Answer: Statement 1 is correct, and statement 2 is false.
 


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Statement 2 is true, but Statement 1 is false.

Statement 1 is true. Directing in management encompasses providing instructions, guidance, and motivation to employees to achieve organizational goals effectively. Motivating employees is a crucial aspect of directing as it helps in boosting morale, productivity, and engagement within the organization.

Statement 2 is incorrect. Motivating employees is a shared responsibility that extends beyond top management. While top management plays a significant role in setting the overall direction and culture of motivation within the organization, team leaders, supervisors, and colleagues at all levels also have a role in motivating employees. Motivation efforts should be pervasive throughout the organization to create a positive and productive work environment.
