- 1. HENRI FEYOL Father of modern Managemen
- 2. Henri Fayol, a French industrialist, now he is recognize the Father of Modern Management. In year 1916 Fayol wrote a book entitled "Industrial and General Administration". In this book, he gave the 14 Principles of Management. These 14 principles of managementare universally accepted and used even today.
- 3. 14 PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT 1. DIVISION OF WORK 2. AUTHORITY 3. DISCIPLINE 4. UNITY OF COMMANDS 5. UNITY OF DIRECTION 6.SUBORDINATION OF INDIVIDUAL INTEREST TO THE GENERAL INTEREST 7. REMUNERATIONS 8.CENTRALISTION 9.SCALAR CHAIN 10.ORDER 11. EQUITY 12. INITATIVE 13. STABILITY OF TENURE OF PERSONNEL EMOPLOYEES 14. ESPRIT DE CORPS
- 4. 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. Fayol presented work specialization as the best way to use the human resources of the organization.
- 5. AUTHORITY 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. Who ever assumes authority also assumes responsibility.There should be a balance between the two i.e. They must go hand in hand. Authority without responsibility leads to irresponsible behavior whereas responsibility without authority makes the person in effective.
- 6. DISCIPLINE Discipline means sincerity,obedience, respect of authority & observance of rules and regulations of the enterprise”.This principle applies that subordinate should respect their superiors and obey their order.Discipline is not only required on path of subordinates but also on the part of management.
- 7. UNITY OF COMMAND Each worker should have only one boss with no other conflicting lines of command. In other words, a sub-ordinate should not receive instructions from more than one person because - - It undermines authority- Weakens discipline- Creates confusion- Delays the work- Escaping responsibilities- Duplication of work- Overlapping of efforts
- 8. UNITY OF DIRECTION The entire organization should be moving towards a common objective in a common direction. People engaged in the same kind of activities musthave the same objectives in a single plan. This isessential to ensure unity and coordination in theenterprise. Unity of command does not exist without unity ofdirection but does not necessarily flows from it.
- 9. SUBORDINATION OF INDIVIDUAL INTERESTSTO THE GENERAL INTERESTS The interests of one person should not take priority over the interests of the organization as a whole. In an organization, there are two types of interest, the individual interest of the employees, and the general interest of the organization. The individual interestshould be given less importance, while the generalinterest should be given most importance. If not, theorganization will collapse.
- 10. 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 satisfactionton both employer and employees. It should include both financial and non-financial incentives
- 11. CENTRALIZATION Centralization is a situation in which top management retains most of the decision making authority. “Degree of centralization depends on number of factors like size of business, experience ofsuperiors, dependability & ability of subordinates etc. Anything which increases the role of subordinate is decentralization & anything which decreases it is centralization. Fayol suggested that absolute centralization or decentralization is not feasible.
- 12. SCALAR CHAIN Scalar Chain is a line of authority. This line joins allthe members (managers and employees) from top tobottom. Every member must know who his superioris. He must also know who his subordinate is. ScalarChain is necessary for good communication. ScalarChain must not be broken in norm circumstances.However, if quick action is necessary, then this chaincan be broken. This is done using "Gang Plank"
- 13. ORDER There should be an Order for Things and People in theorganization. Order for things is called Material Order. Order forpeople is called Social Order Material Order refers to "a place for everything andeverything in its place."Social Order refers to the selection of the "right manin the right place".There must be orderly placement of the resourcessuch as Men and Women, Money, Materials, etc.Misplacement will lead to misuse and disorder.
- 14. 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. They should give similar treatment to people of similar position. They should not discriminate with respect to age, caste, sex,religion, relation etc.
- 15. INITIATIVE Management should encourage initiative. That is, theyshould encourage the employees to suggest ideas,experiences& new method of work. It helps in developing an atmosphere of trust and understanding It creates eagerness to initiate actions without beingasked to do so.
- 16. STABILITY OF TENURE OF PERSONNEL EMPLOYEES Work better if job security and career progress areassured to them. An insecure tenure and a high rate of employee turnover will affect the organization adversely According to Fayol. “Time is required for an employee to get used to a new work & succeed to doing it well but if he is removed before that he will not be able to render worth whileservices”. As a result, the time, effort and money spent on training theworker will go waste.
- 17. 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.” Here Fayol emphasizes the need for building and maintaining of harmony among the work force , teamwork and sound interpersonal relationships.
