Who directs the activities of employees and other resources toward organizational goals and objectives?

• A. Managers
• B. Administrators
• C. Supervisors
• D. Directors

Answer: (B)

Coordinating people and resources to reach organizational goals requires broad, organization-wide direction. Administrators are the ones who handle this level of coordination, shaping how work gets done, how resources are allocated, and how policies and procedures guide daily activity so everything moves toward objectives. They oversee multiple functions and ensure different parts of the organization align with the goals. While a supervisor focuses on guiding a specific team, a manager runs a particular unit or project, and a director sets overall strategy, the administrator’s role centers on directing the overall workflow and resource use to meet the organization’s aims.
