FAYOL'S 14 PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT

Division of work

Work should be divided among individuals and groups to ensure that efforts and attention are focused on special portions of the task. Fayol presented work specialization as the best way to use the human resources of the organization.

Authority

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.

Discipline

 A successful organization requires the common effort of workers. Penalties should be applied judiciously to encourage this common effort

Unity of Command

Workers should receive orders from only one manager.

Unity of Direction

The entire organization should be moving towards a common objective in a common direction

Subordination of Individual Interests to the General Interest

The interests of one person should not take priority over the interests of organization as a whole

Remuneration

Many variables, such as cost of living, supply of qualified personnel, general business conditions, and success of the business, should be considered in determining a worker's rate of pay.

Centralization

Fayol defined (BLANK) as lowering the importance of the subordinate role

Scalar Chain

Managers in hierarchies are part of a chain-like authority scale. Each manager, from the first-line supervisor to the president, possesses certain amounts of authority. The president possesses the most authority; the first-line supervisor the least. Lower-level managers should always keep upper-level managers informed of their work activities.

Order

For the sake of efficiency and coordination, all materials and people related to a specific kind of work should be treated as equally as possible

Equity

All employees should be treated as equally as possible

Stability of Tenure of Personnel

Retaining productive employees should always be a high priority for management. Recruitment and selection costs, as well as increased PRODUCT-reject rates, are usually associated with hiring new workers

Initiative

Management should take steps to encourage worker (blank) which is defined as new or additional work activity undertaken through self-direction

Spirit de Corps

Management should encourage harmony and general good feelings among employees.
