Management Vs Administration
Administration :
It determines the specific goals and the broad areas within which those
goals are to be achieved.
Management :
It is concerned with carrying out the broad policies laid down by
administration.

act.
Administration is largely determinative whereas Management is essentially
executive.
Administration

• Mainly a top level function
• Not directly concerned with
the direction of human
efforts

Principles of Managment
- A principle may be regarded as general statement or proposition
reflecting the relationship of cause and effect between two or more
variables.
- The emphasis on Management Principles has been given by many
management thinkers including Henry Fayol, Taylor, Bernard…etc.
- The Principles have been developed
i. to guide managers so that they may be able to take managerial
decisions.
ii. The principles of mgt. are true in all managerial situation and or all levels
of mgt.
iii. It is applied in business/Govt./social or any type of Organization.
Principles of Management
by Henri Fayol
Henry Fayol has suggested 14 principles of Mgt. inorder to
make the job of mgt. more effective and efficient.
1. Division of Work
- Every employee should be assigned only one type of work
- Results in increased human efficiency and more
production is possible.
2. Authority and Responsibility
- must go hand in hand
- Authority is a power which enables a manager to
command subordinates to work
- Responsibility is an obligation owed by a subordinate to
the supervisor for the performance of job.
3. Discipline
- Obedience to the rules of the Orgn.
- Can be maintained with the help of good
supervision.
- Necessary for the proper functioning of the
Organization.
4. Unitiy of Command
- A subordinate must get orders and instructions
only from one supervisor at a time
- Helps in controlling and fixing responsibilities.
5. Unity of Direction
- There must be one Head and one plan
- Each group of activities should have the same objectives.
- Eg. There must be one Production Plan and only one
Prodn.Mgr. imparting similar instructions to all the workers.
6. Subordination of Individual Interest to general interest
- Each employee should sacrifice and subordinate his
personal interest
and goal for achieving the goals of the orgn.
- Common interest must prevail over individual interest.
7. Remuneration
- Wages and salaries should be neither low or high.
- It should be fair and satifactory for the services rendered.
8. Centralisation
- Reservation of decision making authority at the top level
of mgt.
- Managers should retain final responsibility but also need
to give their subordinates enough authority
to do their jobs properly.
9. Scalar Chain
- The chain of supervisors with grades of authority ranging
from the highest to the lowest.
- Chain of supervisor subordinate relationship which is
essential for achieving the goal.
Contd…
10. Order
- Materials and people should be in the right place at the right time.
- People should be in the jobs most suited
for them.
11. Equity
- Fairness and justice to all working in the orgn.
- Similar treatment and impartiality should be assured to all employees
in the orgn.
- Mgt. should treat employees with justice and fairness.
12. Stability of tenure of personnel
- There should be reasonable security of job
- High employee turnover rate is not good for efficient functioning of
the orgn.
- Stability of tenure helps to develop loyalty towards orgn.
13. Initiative
- Refers to freedom to think out a plan and its execution
- Subordinates should be given the freedom to plan and
carry out their plans.
- Self motivating device for the employees.
- Makes them more dedicated and loyal towards the orgn.
14. Espirit-de-corps(Union is Strength)
- Advocates team spirit
- Helps to build team spirit among employees so that they
work with proper mutual understanding
to achieve organizational goals.
Scientific Management
• F.W.Taylor(Fredrick Winslow Taylor) is known as the father of
Scientific Management.
• First to identify the need to have a scientific approach to the
task of managing an orgn.
• Taylor’s definition of scientific mgt. contains 2 aspects
i. Management must know what is exactly expected from
workers
ii. Workers do their jobs in the best and the cheapest
manner.
Salient features of Scientific
Management by F.W.Taylor
1. Separation of Planning and doing
- emphasized the separation of planning from actual doing
- Before Scientific Mgt. a worker to plan and do the work
- Taylor insisted that Planning should left to the supervisor and the
worker should concentrate on work
2. Functional Foremanship
-Instead of single foreman, there must be a number of foremen
-Each foreman being a specialist in performing of his role, is a functional
foreman
- Supervision of the work is entrusted to foremen
3. Job Analysis
- Taylor analysed the various jobs to find out the best way of doing with
the help
of Time/Motion/Fatigue/Method study.
i. Time Study
- Refers to the study of the time taken to perform each operation of a
job inorder to find out
the actual time taken to perform a job.
- Purpose is to determine the time taken for performing an operation.
ii. Motion Study
- Study of the movements of workers in performing an operation.
- The purpose is to eliminate unnecessary motions.
- Helps to detect which motions of the body made by the worker are
unnecessary and to avoid over fatigue
Contd..
iii.Fatique Study
- Study helps to find out the amount and frequency of rest
required for a worker to enable him maintain
his efficiency to complete a job.
iv.Method Study
- The purpose is to maximize efficiency in the use of
materials, machinery, manpower and capital by
improving work methods.
- Study involves critical examination of plant layout,
product design, material handling and work process to
to minimize time and cost.
4. Standardisation
- Process of bringing uniformity
- Instruments and tools, period of work,
amount of work, working conditions and
cost of production have to be standardised
on the basis
of job analysis.
- It simplifies the process of production.
5. Scientific selection and training of workers
- Workers should be selected on a scientific basis taking into
account their education, work experience, aptitude,physical
strength…etc
- Worker should be given work for which he is physically and
technically most sutiable.
- Emphasis on training of workers to make them efficient
and effective.
Contd..
6. Financial Incentive
- Introduced financial incentives to motivate workers to put in their
maximum efforts.
- Devised a scheme of wage payment “Differential Piece rate system”
- The features of this scheme are
i. A standard output for each worker is determined in advance through
work study.
ii. Two rates of wage payment (based on piece rate system)
a. A higher rate per unit of output – workers who produce the
standard
output or exceed the standard are paid according to the higher
rate.
b. A lower rate per unit of output – workers who are unable to come
upto the standard are paid according to the lower rate for all the units
produced by them.
Contd…
7. Economy
- Adequate consideration should be
given to economy and profit.
- Economy and profit can be achieved by
making the resources more productive
and as well as by eliminating the
wastages.
8. Mental Revolution
- Suggested a change in the attitude of
employees and employers
- Conflict should be replaced by mutual co-operation
- Taylor emphasised that mental revolution is the most important
feature of Scientific management.
BEHAVIOURAL APPROACH
Hawthrone Experiment
- Conducted by Elton Mayo and his
associates in Western Electric Company
near Chicago.
- Emphasised the importance of human
factor in work situation.
Contd..
1. The illumination experiment :
- Objective was to observe the influence of illumination upon the levels
of output
- Researchers divided the employees into two groups
- One group called the test group was subjected to change in lighting
- The lighting condition for the other group called the control group
remained constant throughout the study
- When the test group’s lighting conditions were improved, productivity
increased as expected.
- Researchers found that productivity continued to increase even when
the lighting was reduced.
- It was realised that something in addition to lighting was influencing the
worker’s performance.
Contd..
2. Relay Assembly Test Experiment :
- 6 women telephone relay assemblers were placed in 2 separate rooms
- In one room the working conditions were altered and in the other room they
were not changed.
- Changes in the performance of workers were observed by changing the work
related factors
i. Increasing the wages
ii. Introducing rest periods
iii. Reducing the working days
- Workers were allowed to choose their own rest periods
- It was found that output went up in both rooms irrespective of changes in the
working conditions.
- Mayo concluded that physical conditions had no impact on output.
- Sympathetic attitude of supervisors, freedom in work environment, treatment
of workers and sense of belongingness were responsible for improved job
performance.
Contd..
3. Mass Interviewing Programme :
- Workers were interviewed by indirect questions by researchers.
- Programme was aimed at finding out the attitude of employees towards
their job, working conditions and supervision.
- Thousands of workers were interviewed
- It was confirmed that social and psychological needs and the attitude of
employees have definite influence on their working behaviour.
Contd..
4. Bank Wiring Observation Room Experiment :
- Conducted to investigate social pattern of behaviour of group.
- A group of 14 workers participated in this experiment
- They were paid on group basis
- An individual’s pay was dependent on the output of the entire group and his own
individual output.
- It was assumed that highly efficient workers would exert pressure on less efficient workers
to increase output and thus take advantage of group effort.
- The study confirmed that there existed informal group and regulated and affected
employee’s behaviour.
- The study proved that individual behaviour is regulated by informal social group.
Planning
• Selecting mission and objectives as well as the
actions to achieve them, which requires
decision making.

Division of Work - Every employee should be assigned only one type of work - Results in increased human efficiency and more production is possible. 2. Authority and Responsibility - must go hand in hand - Authority is a power which enables a manager to command subordinates to work - Responsibility is an obligation owed by a subordinate to the supervisor for the performance of job.
  • 12. 3. Discipline - Obedience to the rules of the Orgn. - Can be maintained with the help of good supervision. - Necessary for the proper functioning of the Organization. 4.

Functional Foremanship -Instead of single foreman, there must be a number of foremen -Each foreman being a specialist in performing of his role, is a functional foreman - Supervision of the work is entrusted to foremen
  • 19. 3. Job Analysis - Taylor analysed the various jobs to find out the best way of doing with the help of Time/Motion/Fatigue/Method study. i. Time Study - Refers to the study of the time taken to perform each operation of a job inorder to find out the actual time taken to perform a job. - Purpose is to determine the time taken for performing an operation. ii. Motion Study - Study of the movements of workers in performing an operation. - The purpose is to eliminate unnecessary motions. - Helps to detect which motions of the body made by the worker are unnecessary and to avoid over fatigue
  • 20. Contd.. iii.Fatique Study - Study helps to find out the amount and frequency of rest required for a worker to enable him maintain his efficiency to complete a job. iv.Method Study - The purpose is to maximize efficiency in the use of materials, machinery, manpower and capital by improving work methods. - Study involves critical examination of plant layout, product design, material handling and work process to to minimize time and cost.

A higher rate per unit of output – workers who produce the standard output or exceed the standard are paid according to the higher rate. b. A lower rate per unit of output – workers who are unable to come upto the standard are paid according to the lower rate for all the units produced by them.
  • 24. Contd… 7. Economy - Adequate consideration should be given to economy and profit. - Economy and profit can be achieved by making the resources more productive and as well as by eliminating the wastages. 8.

  • 26. Contd.. 1. The illumination experiment : - Objective was to observe the influence of illumination upon the levels of output - Researchers divided the employees into two groups - One group called the test group was subjected to change in lighting - The lighting condition for the other group called the control group remained constant throughout the study - When the test group’s lighting conditions were improved, productivity increased as expected. - Researchers found that productivity continued to increase even when the lighting was reduced. - It was realised that something in addition to lighting was influencing the worker’s performance.
  • 27. Contd.. 2. Relay Assembly Test Experiment : - 6 women telephone relay assemblers were placed in 2 separate rooms - In one room the working conditions were altered and in the other room they were not changed. - Changes in the performance of workers were observed by changing the work related factors i. Increasing the wages ii. Introducing rest periods iii. Reducing the working days - Workers were allowed to choose their own rest periods - It was found that output went up in both rooms irrespective of changes in the working conditions. - Mayo concluded that physical conditions had no impact on output. - Sympathetic attitude of supervisors, freedom in work environment, treatment of workers and sense of belongingness were responsible for improved job performance.
  • 28. Contd.. 3. Mass Interviewing Programme : - Workers were interviewed by indirect questions by researchers. - Programme was aimed at finding out the attitude of employees towards their job, working conditions and supervision. - Thousands of workers were interviewed - It was confirmed that social and psychological needs and the attitude of employees have definite influence on their working behaviour.
  • 29. Contd.. 4. Bank Wiring Observation Room Experiment : - Conducted to investigate social pattern of behaviour of group. - A group of 14 workers participated in this experiment - They were paid on group basis - An individual’s pay was dependent on the output of the entire group and his own individual output. - It was assumed that highly efficient workers would exert pressure on less efficient workers to increase output and thus take advantage of group effort. - The study confirmed that there existed informal group and regulated and affected employee’s behaviour. - The study proved that individual behaviour is regulated by informal social group.
