3. About HENRI FAYOL
• Henri Fayol was born in Istanbul in 1841.
• When he was 19, he began working as
an engineer at a large mining company
in France. He eventually became the
director, at a time when the mining comp-
any employed more than 1,000 people.
• Through the years, Fayol began to develop what he
considered to be the 14 most important principles of
management. Essentially, these explained how managers
should organize and interact with staff.

4. 1) Division Of Work
When employees are specialized,
output can increase because they
become increasingly skilled and
efficient.
2) Authority And Responsibility
Managers must have the
authority to give orders, but they
must also keep in mind that with
authority comes responsibility.

5. 3) Discipline
Discipline must be upheld in
organizations, but methods for
doing so can vary.
4) Unity Of Command
Employees should have only
one direct supervisor.

6. 5) Unity Of Direction
Teams with the same objective
should be working under the
direction of one manager, using
one plan. This will ensure that
action is properly coordinated.

7. 6) Subordination Of
Individual Interests To
General Interests
The interests of one
employee should not be
allowed to become more
important than those of
the group. This includes
managers.

8. 7) Remuneration
Employee satisfaction depends on
fair remuneration for everyone.
This includes financial and non-
financial compensation.
8) Centralisation And
Decentralisation
This principle refers to how close
employees are to the decision-
making process. It is important to
aim for an appropriate balance.

9. 9) Initiative
Employees should be given the
necessary level of freedom to
create and carry out plans.
10) Order
The workplace facilities must be
clean, tidy and safe for
employees. Everything should
have its place.

10. 11) Equity
Managers should be fair to staff
at all times, both maintaining
discipline as necessary and
acting with kindness where
appropriate.
12) Scalar Chain
Employees should be aware of
where they stand in the
organization's hierarchy, or chain
of command.

11. 13) Stability Of Tenure
Personnel
Managers should strive to minimize
employee turnover. Personnel
planning should be a priority.
14) Espirit De Corps
Organizations should strive to
promote team spirit and unity.
