Q.Read the following statements- Assertion (A) and Reason (R), and choose one of the correct alternatives given below : Assertion (A) : Staffing is an inherent part of human resource management. Reason (R) : The training and development of the staff is an important aspect of the staffing process. Alternatives: (A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
(C) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false
(D) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true

A is true (staffing is indeed central to HRM) and R is true (training & development is indeed part of the staffing process) — but R does not logically explain A, so the correct alternative is (B).

Checking Assertion (A): Staffing involves placing the right person at the right job, and its core activities — human resource planning, recruitment, selection, placement and training & development — are exactly the activities Human Resource Management is built around. Staffing is therefore genuinely an inherent/core part of HRM. A is TRUE.

Checking Reason (R): Training and development of employees is indeed one of the important sub-activities carried out as part of the staffing process, helping employees acquire new skills and improve performance. R is TRUE.

Staffing places the right person in the right job and keeps developing employees — this is what drives optimum, not wasted, use of human resources.

Staffing is the management function concerned with obtaining, utilising and maintaining a satisfied workforce. It helps achieve optimum utilisation of the human resource in several ways:

• Right person, right job — through scientific recruitment and selection, staffing ensures that a person's qualifications, skills and aptitude actually match the job's requirements, so their ability is neither under-used nor over-stretched.
• Avoids over-staffing and under-staffing — careful human resource planning estimates exactly how many people with which skills are needed, preventing idle/surplus manpower (a cost with no output) as well as an overworked, understaffed team (which hurts quality and morale).
• Training and development — continuously upgrades employees' skills so their full potential is realised and kept current with changing job needs. …
