Match the items of List I with the items of List-II and choose the correct answer from the code given below:
| List-I (Role of Manager) | List-II (Functions of Manager) |
|---|---|
| a) Informational role | (i) Figure head, leader, liaison |
| b) Interpersonal role | (ii) Disturbance handler, resource allocator, negotiator |
| c) Decisional role | (iii) Disseminator, monitors spokesperson |
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
In Henry Mintzberg's classification of managerial roles, the informational roles are monitor, disseminator and spokesperson (a-iii); the interpersonal roles are figurehead, leader and liaison (b-i); and the decisional roles are entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator and negotiator (c-ii). A common slip is to treat the leader role as decisional, but Mintzberg places it among the interpersonal roles because it concerns motivating and directing people. The code to choose is the only one that pairs informational roles with (iii) and interpersonal roles with (i).
