 He was a French mining engineer,
mining executive, author and director of

five basic ways in order to control and plan
production.

 Fayol's 14
Principles of
Management

Division of Work – When employees are specialized.

Authority – Managers must have the authority to give orders.

Discipline – Discipline must be upheld in organizations.

Unity of Command – Employees should have only one direct supervisor.

Unity of Direction – Teams with the same objective
should be working under the direction of one manager,
using one plan.

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.

Remuneration – Employee satisfaction depends on fair

remuneration for everyone.

Centralization – This principle refers to how close

employees are to the decision-making process.
Scalar Chain – Employees should be aware of where they stand in the
organization's hierarchy.

Order – The workplace facilities must be clean, tidy and safe for employees.

Equity – Managers should be fair to staff at all times, both maintaining

discipline as necessary and acting with kindness where appropriate.
Stability of Tenure of Personnel – Managers should strive to
minimize employee turnover. Personnel planning should be a priority.

Initiative – Employees should be given the necessary level of freedom

to create and carry out plans.

Esprit de Corps – Organizations should strive to promote team spirit

and unity.
 HENRI FAYOL QUOTES

“Management plays a very important part in the government of undertakings: of all undertakings,
large or small, industrial, commercial, political, religious or other.”

“Not many people are familiar with its constitution and powers; our senses cannot follow its
workings – we do not see it build or forge, sell or buy – and yet we all know that, if it does not
work properly, the undertaking is in danger of failure.”
“Principles and general rules which hold good for business hold good for the state too, and the
reverse applies.”

“To organize means building up the dual structure, material and human, of the undertaking. To
command means binding together, unifying and harmonizing all activity and effort.”
