14 Principles of

Management
Lecture

Dr Hassan Muqarab
PhD in 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. Fayol
presented work specialization as the
best way to use the human
resources of the organization.
2. AUTHORITY:
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:

A successful organization requires the common effort of


workers.
Penalties should be applied judiciously to
encourage this common effort.
4. UNITY OF COMMAND
Workers should receive orders from
only one manager.
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.
7. 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.
8. CENTRALIZATION:
Fayol defined centralization as
lowering the importance of the
subordinate role. Decentralization is
increasing the importance. The
degree to which centralization or
decentralization should be adopted
depends on the specific organization
in which the manager is working.
9. SCALAR CHAIN:
Managers in hierarchies are part of a chain
like authority scale. Each manager, from
the first line supervisor to the president,
possess 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. The existence of a scalar chain
and adherence to it are necessary if the
organization is to be successful.
10. 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.
11. EQUITY:
All employees should be treated as
equally as possible.
12. STABILITY OF TENURE
OF PERSONNEL:
Retaining productive employees
should always be a high priority of
management. Recruitment and
Selection Costs, as well as increased
product-reject rates are usually
associated with hiring new workers.
13. INITIATIVE:
Management should take steps to encourage worker
initiative, which is defined as new or additional work
activity undertaken through self direction.
14. ESPIRIT DE CORPS:
Management should encourage
agreement and general good
feelings among employees.
