Jokay07: And you will score a resounding Zero! Effectiveness has to do with achieving set goals while efficiency is about utilizing the least cost in achieving the set goals. An ideal staff should be able to create a balance between the two. That is the 'optimal' staff. 2 Likes |

effective means getting job done ie achieving result while efficient means using minimum input to achieve maximum output ie optimum use of resources. Both qualities are good, bt if pressed further i'll choose efficiency. 2 Likes |

without recourse to the dictionary- being effective is better because an effective staff is like a guy who has got a head/brain on him; he has a dash of efficiency in him too...but being efficient might not require the use of much brains but more of brawn. a machine could be 100%efficient..bla bla |

The difference is in their TIME MANAGEMENT skill. An efficient staff manages time more than an effective Staff. |

I will simply say, 'I will be efficiently effective. ..or effectively efficient. ' Logically. .effectiveness produce the needed results ...it makes EFFECT. Efficiency on the other hand does all the right things....capable and all. But the final question is ...does it produce the required effect? This is why you need to be effective. Don't wanna be efficient on the field like Argentina but wins the match like Cameroon in the 1990 world cup. That is effectiveness |

Jokay07: The difference between Mikel Obi and Matic of Chelsea well if they watched football would have been spot on too. |
Re: Interview Question That Threw Me Off-balance by LogoDWhiz(m): 11:25pm On Feb 16, 2015 |
the basic diff btw the two is dis. When you are effective, you are able to carry out a. Project successfully. When you are being efficient, you were able to maximise your time and effort when working on a project and successfully carry it out. |

All of una b Olodo... When somtin is effective it does wat it is expected 2 do, or achieves wat it Ws actually programd 2 do.. Efficiency on d oda hand is doin more than wat somtin is expected 2 do, or achieves more than wat it Ws actually programd 2 do.. E.g If a cuttin machine is expected to cut jst 2 slices of bread n it does, dt is effectiveness... But if same machine cn cut more than 3slices of bread, dt is efficiency.. Goin d extra mile or doin d extraordinary, dt is efficiency.. |

victorVIC1:you are good jare, you sure know your onions. The difference between the two is just cost relative and financial prudence. I can remember the scientific management school by Henry Fayol |
Re: Interview Question That Threw Me Off-balance by Nobody: 12:22am On Feb 17, 2015 |
KehindeAwoniyi:What of the financial prudence sir? Cost minimisation is efficiency. Achieving desired result with the least cost is efficiency. |
Re: Interview Question That Threw Me Off-balance by lanrumaster(m): 12:29am On Feb 17, 2015 |
Effectiveness and Efficiency goes hand in hand and you can be efficient and not effective and vice versa. ...in such situation I would go for Both...Effectiveness simply doing the right thing while Efficiency means doing things right...lets imagine a company trying to adopt new technology and after training the entire staff they all adopted the new technology but it doesn't change the overall productivity. .that shows how efficiency but lack effectiveness |

Re: Interview Question That Threw Me Off-balance by Nobody: 12:33am On Feb 17, 2015 |
allisonluvsu:you tried friend, but like one of my lecturers would say... I need the key word. Effectiveness is achieving the desired result without considering financial implications ie., realising the stated goal or objective even at a relatively higher cost in spite of cheaper alternatives. While Efficiency on the other hand focuses more on arriving at the stated objective with the least cost among other alternatives. Financial prudence separates the two. Thanks! 1 Like |
