Henri Fayol's fourteen principles of management

 Henri Fayol's fourteen principles of management are as follows:


  1. Division of work: Tasks should be divided into smaller and more specialized parts to improve efficiency and productivity.
  2. Authority: Managers should have the authority to give orders and make decisions.
  3. Discipline: Employees should be obedient and respectful towards their managers, and rules should be enforced fairly.
  4. Unity of command: Each employee should have only one manager to report to in order to avoid confusion and conflict.
  5. Unity of direction: The organization should have a single plan and focus in order to achieve its goals.
  6. Subordination of individual interests: The interests of the organization should take precedence over the interests of individual employees.
  7. Remuneration: Salaries and benefits should be fair and equitable, and should reflect the value of the work being done.
  8. Centralization: Decision-making authority should be centralized in order to ensure that decisions are consistent with the organization's goals and objectives.
  9. Scalar chain: A clear hierarchy should be established so that communication flows effectively up and down the chain of command.
  10. Order: Resources and activities should be organized in a way that maximizes efficiency and productivity.
  11. Equity: Employees should be treated with fairness and justice.
  12. Stability: The organization should maintain a stable environment to ensure that employees can perform their work effectively.
  13. Initiative: Employees should be encouraged to take initiative and be creative in their work.
  14. Esprit de corps: Teamwork and unity should be encouraged in the workplace to build a sense of community and shared purpose.

These principles are still widely recognized and used in modern management practices.
