12. Henri Fayol’s 14 Principles Of Management:
1. Division Of Work
Work should be divided among individuals and groups to ensure that effort and attention are
focused on special portions of the task.
2. Authority & Responsibility
The concepts of Authority and responsibility are closely related. Authority was defined by Fayol as the
right to give orders and the power to exact obedience. Responsibility involves being accountable, and
is therefore naturally associated with authority. Whoever assumes authority also assumes responsibility.
3. Discipline
According to Fayol, “Discipline means sincerity, obedience, respect of authority & observance
of rules and regulations of the enterprise”.
13. 4. Unity Of Command
Each worker should have only one boss with no other conflicting lines of command.
5. Unity of Direction
The entire organization should be moving towards a common objective in a common direction.
6. Subordination of individual interests to the general interests
The interests of one person should not take priority over
the interests of the organization as a whole.
8. Equity
The employees should be treated with fairness, kindness & justice if devotion is expected of
them.
It implies that managers should be fair and impartial while dealing with the subordinates.
7. Initiative
Management should encourage initiative. That is, they should encourage the employees to suggest
ideas, experiences& new method of work.
14. 9. Scalar chain
Scalar Chain is a line of authority. This line joins all the members (managers and employees) from top to
bottom.
Every member must know who his superior is.He must also know who his subordinate is. Scalar Chain is
necessary for good communication.
Scalar Chain must not be broken in norm circumstances.
10. Order
There should be an Order for Things and People in the organization.
Order for things is called Material Order. Order for people is called Social Order.
11. Centralization (Or Decentralization)
Centralization means concentration of authority at the top level. In other words, centralization is a
situation in which top management retains most of the decision making authority.
Decentralization means disposal of decision making authority to all the levels of the organization. In
other words, sharing authority downwards is decentralization.
15. 14. Esprit de Corps
Management must foster the morale of its employees. He further suggests that: “real talent is needed to
coordinate effort, encourage keenness, use each person’s abilities, and reward each one’s merit without
arousing possible jealousies and disturbing harmonious relations.”
12. Stability of Tenure of Personnel
Employees work better if job security and career progress are assured to them. An insecure tenure and a high
rate of employee turnover will affect the organization adversely
13. Remuneration
Remuneration is the price for services received. If an organization wants efficient employees and best
performance, then it should have a good remuneration policy. This policy should give maximum
satisfaction to both employer and employees.
