The acronym POSDCORB stands for :

  • A.Planning, Organising, Staffing, Direction, Coordination, Reporting and Budgeting.
  • B.Planning, Organising, Supervision, Direction, Coordination, Reporting and Budgeting
  • C.Planning, Organising, Staffing, Direction, Cooperation, Reporting and Budgeting.
  • D.Planning, Organising, Staffing, Direction, Coordination, Research and Budgeting.

Answer: A

POSDCORB stands for Planning, Organising, Staffing, Direction, Coordination, Reporting and Budgeting.

Luther Gulick coined the acronym in 1937, in a paper for the Brownlow Committee, to describe the functions of a chief executive: Planning, Organising, Staffing, Directing, CO-ordinating, Reporting and Budgeting.

Each other option changes one letter's meaning: S is Staffing, not Supervision; CO is Coordination, not Cooperation; and R is Reporting, keeping superiors and the public informed, not Research.
