OF HENRI FAYOL
FOR
MANAGEMENT

HENRY FAYOL
Henry Fayol was the first person who wrote
the 14 principles of management in 1916 but
after this large number of USA vice persons and
management experts explains it and utilize it
in the business and got succss in the business.
These 14 principles are so flexible and easily
change according to the nature of business.

1.DIVISION OF WORK
Henry Fayol introduced this principle for
fast production in factory and with this
principle of management,skill and efficiency
of labours increase.They become specialize
in their work,after this company can
Increase the standard of their product.

2.EQUITY OF AUTHORITY AND

RESPONSIBILITY
This principle is the guideline for all the employees
and authorities that authorities and responsibility
are two part of one coin and if any higher authority
delegates the power to his subordinate then it
means that higher authority also delegates the
responsibility for doing work on that status.This is
wonderful principle which should be
in the knowledge of every employee
of any company because higher authority
can ask about completing of any
work and make you accountable also.

3.DISCIPLINE
Discipline means obedience,respect for
authority,and observance of established
rules.Fayol has emphasized that a sense of
discipline should be present in all employees
of the organisation at all level so that the
organisation can perform and achieve its
objectives in the best possible way.

4.UNITY OF COMMAND
This principle advocates that only one boss
should give order to an individual so that he
can understand what to do and can perform
systematically with greater efficiency.If more
than one boss will instruct an individual,he will
certainly get confused about his responsibility
and will not
be able to perform even a single
activity because he faces the
dilemma of whom should he follow?

5.PRINCIPLE OF UNITY OF
DIRECTION
One main difference between direction and
command that direction is just guidance
without any order or there is not the provision
of penalty or punishment,if other will not
direct according to direction but in
command ,if employee will not follow it,it may
posssible that employer will give
punishmment for not obey the order.direction
is more powerful tool in the hand of manager
because with this manager can make
democratic enviornment.

6.SUBORDINATION OF OWN
INTEREST TO GENERAL INTEREST
This principle is telling about two
interest.One an employee appoints in the
company he have his own interests.Second
interest is of the organisation.This principle
says that the employee should think about the
organisation welfare and organisation interest
before thinking about that how he will fulfill
his interests.

7.PRINCIPLE OF HANDSOME SALARY

This principle is also helpful for the
development of employee and supports
employees that employer should give
handsome salary to employee because of
increasing inflation of necessary food
prices,without handsome salary,employee will
not satisfied and tornover ratio of employee
will increase and if company wants to develop
employee and increase production,then
company should rovides not only high salary
but also provides large number perquisites to
employees.

8.PRINCIPLE OF CENTRALISATION
This principle explains that all the high powers
relating to making plans and taking decisions
must be in few hands and centralisation of
power is good way to promote business with
high speed.If all powers are
decentralised,then it may possible that
corruption makes his place and speed of
development of business will decrease.

9.PRINCIPLE OF SCALAR
CHAIN
In every type of business ,business is divided
under different levels of management and one
authority is above from every subordination
but problem arises when one subordinate
wants to communicate to other equal rank
subordinate.Henry Fayol gives the name of
this communication Scalar Chain .After this
all problem of management communication
are solved.

10.ORDER
Here the word order does not mean any
command but is used in differet
context.Order means the right arrangement
of things and activities.In other words,order is
a normal,correct,or fit condition.This principle
states that there should be a proper order for
everything.Fayol is of the view that in every
organisation there should be a fixed place for
everything to faciliate smooth working and
avoid wastage of resources.

11.PRINCIPLE OF
EQUALITY
This principle explains that all employees are
same in the eye of business.There is no need
todoany partiality on the basis of religion or
salary or any other things.If any company
creates different among all employees on the
basis of castethen it will reduce companies
development and progress.

12.PRINCIPLE OF STABILITY OF
EMPLOYEES
Stable employee in any organisation is like
fixed asset so company should make stable
employee by providing good monetary and
non monetary incentives to employees.

13.PRINCIPLE OF
INITIATIVES
Initiatives are those motivations which are
helpful ffor employeeto do all work with better
way.This makes interesting envornment of
business.All employees feel happy,if some
higher authority initiates them to do any work
by themselves.

14.PRINCIPLE OF ESPIRIT DE CORPS

and team work.This principle emphasizes on
team work.UNITY IS STRENGTHis the essence
