14 Principles of Management
What are the 14 Principles of Management? Description
The 14 Management Principles from Henri Fayol (1841-1925) are:
Division of Work.
Specialization allows the individual to build up experience, and to
continuously improve his skills. Thereby he can be more productive.
Authority. The right to issue commands, along with which must go the balanced responsibility for its function.
Discipline.
Employees must obey, but this is two-sided: employees will only obey
orders if management play their part by providing good leadership.
Unity of Command. Each worker should have only one boss with no other conflicting lines of command.
Unity of Direction.
People engaged in the same kind of activities must have the same
objectives in a single plan. This is essential to ensure unity and
coordination in the enterprise. Unity of command does not exist without
unity of direction but does not necessarily flows from it.
Subordination of individual interest (to the general interest). Management must see that the goals of the firms are always paramount.
Remuneration.
Payment is an important motivator although by analyzing a number of
possibilities, Fayol points out that there is no such thing as a
perfect system.
Centralization (or Decentralization). This is a matter of degree depending on the condition of the business and the quality of its personnel.
Scalar chain (Line of Authority).
A hierarchy is necessary for unity of direction. But lateral
communication is also fundamental, as long as superiors know that such
communication is taking place. Scalar chain refers to the number of
levels in the hierarchy from the ultimate authority to the lowest level
in the organization. It should not be over-stretched and consist of
too-many levels.
Order.
Both material order and social order are necessary. The former
minimizes lost time and useless handling of materials. The latter is
achieved through organization and selection.
. Equity.
In running a business a ‘combination of kindliness and justice’ is
needed. Treating employees well is important to achieve equity.
Stability of Tenure of Personnel.
Employees work better if job security and career progress are assured
to them. An insecure tenure and a high rate of employee turnover will
affect the organization adversely.
Initiative.
Allowing all personnel to show their initiative in some way is a source
of strength for the organization. Even though it may well involve a
sacrifice of ‘personal vanity’ on the part of many managers.
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
.”
