Related to the Purpose of Staffing
The positions provided by the organization structure must be staffed with personnel able and willing to carry out the assigned functions.
The quality of management personnel can be ensured through proper definition of the job and its appraisal in terms of human requirements, evaluation of candidates and incumbents, and appropriate training.
The process of staffing
Specifications for the job rest on organization requirements and on provision for incentives to induce effective and efficient performance of the tasks involved.
(I checked on 5 Feb 2019. Koontz and O'Donnell use the word incentives.)
Performance must be appraised against the management action required by superiors and against the standard of adherence in practice to managerial principles.
Managers should be selected from among the best available candidates for the job, whether they are inside or outside the enterprise.
The objective of management development is to stengthen existing managers. The most effective means of developing managers is to have the task performed primarily by a manager's superior.
The enterprise can tolerate only those managers who are interested in their continuous development.
