Management is the art of getting things done through and with people.

Or is the process of
planning, organizing, leading, and controlling resources to achieve organizational goals
efficiency and effectively. Henri Fayol a management theorist, his 14 principles of management,
developed in the early 20 th century. Fayol believed that proper management practices could
improve productivity, teamwork, and organizational success. getrude

The following are the principles of management;

Division of Work; In practice, employees are specialized in different areas and they have
different skills. Specialization promotes efficiency of the workforce and increases productivity.
For example, departments like sales, marketing, and production focus on their respective tasks
for better results. In addition, the specialization of the workforce increases their accuracy and
speed. getrude

Authority and Responsibility; Authority allows managers to give orders, while responsibility
ensures they are accountable for the outcomes. Authority without responsibility leads to misuse,
and responsibility without authority hinders decision making. In other words, authority and
responsibility go together and they are two sides of the same coin. surayya

Discipline; refers to obedience, proper conduct, and adherence to company rules. It is often a
part of the core values of a mission and vision in the form of good conduct and respectful
interactions. Like employees in bank follow strict codes of conduct, such a confidentiality and
punctuality, to maintain trust. surayya

Unity of Command; The management principle ‘Unity of command’ means that an individual
employee should receive orders from one manager and that the employee is answerable to that
manager to avoid confusion and conflicting instructions. melisa

Unity of Direction; This management principle is all about focus and unity. All employees
deliver the same activities that can be linked to the same objectives. All activities must be carried
out by one group that forms a team. These activities must be described in a plan of action. dani
Subordination of Individual Interest to general interest; the goals of the organization take
priority over personal interests. Employees must align their efforts with company’s objectives.
Example; an employee postpones personal plans to help the team meet an important deadline.

Remuneration; Employees should receive fair compensation for their work which serves as
motivation and ensures loyalty. Example sales teams earn bonuses they remain motivated and
productive. john

Centralization; Management and authority for decision-making process must be properly


balanced in an organization. Centralization implies the concentration of decision making
authority at the top management (executive board). domi

Scalar Chain; Hierarchy presents itself in any given organization. This varies from senior
management (executive board) to the lowest levels in the organization. This management
principle states that there should be a clear line in the area of authority (from top to bottom and
all managers at all levels). mariam

Order; Employees in an organization must have the right resources at their disposal so that they
can function properly in an organization. It is also essential principle of the organization in the
arrangement of things and people. In addition to social order (responsibility of the managers) the
work environment must be safe, clean and tidy. rehema

Equity; the management principle of equity often occurs in the core values of an organization.
Employees must be treated kindly and equally. Employees must be in the right place in the
organization to do things right. Managers should supervise and monitor this process and they
should treat employees fairly and impartially. yohakimu

Stability of Tenure of Personnel; this management principle represents deployment and


managing of personnel and this should be in balance with the service that is provided from the
organization. joyce
Initiative; Henri Fayol argued that with this management principle employees should be allowed
to express new ideas. This encourages interest and involvement and creates added value for the
company. Employee initiatives are a source of strength for the organization according to Henri
Fayol. This encourages the employees to be involved and interested. Melisa/ john

Esprit de Corps This management principle stands for striving for the involvement and unity of
the employees increases collaboration and morale. Managers are responsible for the development
of morale in the workplace; individually and in the area of communication. Esprit de corps
contributes to the development of the culture and creates an atmosphere of mutual trust and
understanding. These explanations demonstrate how the principles create a structured and
harmonious work environment in business. Rahma/ domi

In conclusion, even though principles were developed over a century ago, they remain relevant
today and are widely applied in businesses, schools, hospitals, and various industries. By
following these guidelines, managers can ensure better productivity, employee satisfaction and
overall organizational success.
