 Who is Hendri Fayol? What are
his 14 priciples of
management?
Henri Fayol (29 July 1841 – 19 November 1925) was a
French mining engineer, mining executive, author and
director of mines who developed a general theory of
business administration that is often called Fayolism. He
and his colleagues developed this theory independently
of scientific management but roughly
contemporaneously. Like his contemporary Frederick
Winslow Taylor, he is widely acknowledged as a founder
of modern management methods. He developed 14
principles of management. They are as follows:

Hendri Fayol ( at the age of 70)

Divion of work: In practice, employees are specialized in different areas and they have different skills. Different levels of
expertise can be distinguished within the knowledge areas (from generalist to specialist). Personal and professional developments
support this. According to Henri Fayol specialization promotes efficiency of the workforce and increases productivity. In addition,
the specialization of the workforce increases their accuracy and speed. This management principle of the 14 principles of
management is applicable to both technical and managerial activities.

Authority and Responsibility: According to Henri Fayol, the accompanying power or authority gives the management the right to
give orders to the subordinates.

Discipline: This principle is about obedience. It is often a part of the core values of a mission and vision in the form of good
conduct and respectful interactions.

Unity of command: Every employee should receive orders from only one superior or behalf of the superior.

Unity of direction: Each group of organisational activities that have the same objective should be directed by one manager
using one plan for achievement of one common goal.

Subordination of Individual Interest to General Interest: The interests of any one employee or group of employees
should not take precedence over the interests of the organisation as a whole.

Remuneration of Employees: All Workers must be paid a fair wage for their services. The wages paid must be as per a
certain standard of living to the employee at the same time it is within the paying capacity of the company.
Centralization and Decentralization: This refers to the degree to which subordinates are involved in decision making.

Scalar chain: The line of authority from top management to the lowest ranks represents the scalar chain. Communications
should follow this chain. However if someone needs to communicate some other person in emergency he/she might use "Gang
Plank".Fayol suggested the concept of ‘Gang Plank’ to avoid delays and allow direct communication between two subordinates at
the same level.

Order: this principle is concerned with systematic arrangement of men, machine, material etc. There should be a specific
place for every employee in an organization. That is 'a place for everything (people) and everything has a place'.

Equity: All the employees in the organization must be treated equally with respect to the justice and kindliness.

Stability of Personnel: High employee turnover is inefficient. Management should provide orderly personnel planning and
ensure that replacements are available to fill vacancies.

Initiative: Employees who are allowed to originate and carry out plans will exert high levels of effort.

Espirit De Corps: Promoting team spirit will build harmony and unity within the organization.
 CONCLUSION:
The 14 principles of management can be used to manage
organizations and are usefultools for forecasting, planning, process
management, organization management,decision-making,
coordination and control.
 According to henri fayol,these principles are the lighthouse fixing
the bearing but it canonly serve those who know the way to the
port Although they are obvious, many of these matters are still
used based on commonsense in current management practices in
organizations. It remains a practical list withfocus areas that are
based on Hendri Fayol’s research which still applies today due to a
number of logical principles.
