PRINCIPLES & THEORIES OF MANAGEMENT Effective management Based on Principles & Theories of management Principles of Management Henri Fayol First wrote that management is a set of principles which can be learned. Developed Fourteen Principles of Management.

Henri Fayols 14 principles 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Specialization of labor Authority Discipline Unity of command Unity of direction Subordination of Individual Interests Remuneration Centralization Scalar Chain (line of authority) Order Equity Personnel Tenure Initiative Esprit de corps

1. Division of Labor/ Specialization of labor Applicable to All Organization & Human Beings. Specializing encourages continuous improvement in skills and the improvements in methods. Division of work was emphasized to increase workers efficiency levels.

Can be according to Functions Departments in organization

Principles of division of works/ specialization of work Fair division According to the skill

2. Authority The right to give orders and the power to exact obedience. To get the accountability from the employees there should be Authority to accomplish assigned responsibility.

3. Discipline No slacking, bending of rules Employees must obey and respect the rules that govern the organization. Good discipline involves the judicious use of penalties for breaking the rules.

4. Unity of command. Fayol advocated having only one manager, with no conflicting line of command. 5. Unity of direction. There must be one agreed-upon plan both up and down the hierarchy, 6. Subordination of Individual Interests The goals of the organization are of paramount importance and take precedence over the individuals particular needs. 7. Remuneration Employees receive fair payment for services, not what the company can get away with. Money is an important motivator, and a fair wage is to be paid for work performed.

8. Centralization of authority Decreasing the role of subordinates in decision making is centralization, increasing their role is decentralization. Fayol believed that the managers should retain the final responsibility. But should at the same time give their subordinate enough authority to do the jobs properly.

The problem is finding the proper degree of centralization in each case. 9. Scalar Chain (line of authority). Formal chain of command running from top to bottom of the organization, like military. The line of authority is drawn from highest management to lowest ranks. communication moves up and down this line

10. Order. All materials and personnel have a prescribed place, and they must remain there. Materials and the order should be in the right place at the right time. People In particular should be in job or position they are most suited to

11. Equity. Equality of treatment (but not necessarily identical treatment). Enforcement of established rules with kindness and justice. Justice and understanding are important to developing a fair and equitable system. 12. Personnel Tenure Limited turnover of personnel. Lifetime employment for good workers. A high employee turnover rate undermines the efficient functioning of an organization. Every organization strives to retain its staff because of the cost of recruiting, training, and orienting new employees. 13. Initiative. Subordinate should be given the freedom to conceive and carry out their plans even though some mistake may result. 14. Esprit de corps Harmony, cohesion, team-spirit & sense of belongingness among personnel. Even small amount helps. He suggested for example the use of verbal communication instead of formal, written communication whenever possible. Development of high morale is important, and it is the responsibility of the manager at the top to have a vision and to communicate it to the employees in a way that motivates them to achieve it.

The development of esprit de corps, or team spirit, continues to be important in todays workplace. Teamwork remains essential to providing optimal patient care, and high morale is conducive to the levels of collaboration and teamwork that are required in the complex health-care.
