Fayol's 14 Principles of Management

1. Division of Work When employees are specialized, output can increase because
they become increasingly skilled and efficient.
2. Authority Managers must have the authority to give orders, but they must also keep
in mind that with authority comes responsibility.
3. Discipline Discipline must be upheld in organizations, but methods for doing so can
vary.
4. Unity of Command Employees should have only one direct supervisor.
5. Unity of Direction Teams with the same objective should be working under the
direction of one manager, using one plan. This will ensure that action is properly
coordinated.
6. Subordination of Individual Interests to the General Interest The interests of one
employee should not be allowed to become more important than those of the group.
This includes managers.
7. Remuneration Employee satisfaction depends on fair remuneration for everyone.
This includes financial and non-financial compensation.
8. Centralization This principle refers to how close employees are to the decisionmaking process. It is important to aim for an appropriate balance.
9. Scalar Chain Employees should be aware of where they stand in the organization's
hierarchy, or chain of command.
10. Order The workplace facilities must be clean, tidy and safe for employees.
Everything should have its place.
11. Equity Managers should be fair to staff at all times, both maintaining discipline as
necessary and acting with kindness where appropriate.
12. Stability of Tenure of Personnel Managers should strive to minimize employee
turnover. Personnel planning should be a priority.
13. Initiative Employees should be given the necessary level of freedom to create and
carry out plans.
14. Esprit de Corps Organizations should strive to promote team spirit and unity.
