The following are the principles of Fayol:
• Division of labor: The division of labor and specialization produces more and better work with the same effort.
• Authority and responsibility: Authority is the right to give orders and the power to obey. A manager has official authority because of his position as well as personal authority based on individual personality, intelligence and experience. Authority creates responsibility.
• Discipline: Obedience and respect within an organization are absolutely essential. Good discipline requires managers to apply sanctions when violations become apparent.
• Command unit: An employee must receive orders from only a superior.
• Management Unit: Organizational activities must have a central authority and a plan of action.
• Subordination of individual interest to the general interest: The interests of an employee or group of employees are subordinated to the interests and objectives of the organization.
• Staff remuneration: Wages - the price of services provided by employees - must be fair and provide satisfaction to both the employee and the employer.
• Centralization: The goal of centralization is the best utilization of staff. The degree of centralization varies according to the dynamics of each organization.
• Scalar chain: A chain of authority exists from the highest organizing authority to the lowest rows.
• Order: The order of organization of materials and personnel is essential. The right materials and the right employees are necessary for every function and organizational activity.
• Equity: In organizations, equity is a combination of goodness and justice. Both equity and equal treatment must be considered when dealing with employees.
• Stability of staff tenure: To achieve maximum staff productivity, a stable workforce is needed.
• Initiative: Thinking about a plan and ensuring its success is an extremely strong motivator. Zeal, energy and initiative are desirable at all levels of the organizational scale.
• Esprit de corps: Teamwork is fundamentally important for an organization. Work teams and extensive face-to-face verbal communication encourage teamwork.
