(a) Division of Work: According to this principle the whole work should be divided into different parts and each individual should be assigned only a part of the work according to his ability, specialisation and taste. This is because single person cannot do whole work.
(b) Authority and Responsibility: According to Fayol, “Authority is the right to give orders and obtain obedience and Responsibility means accountability which is the result of authority. The person who has given authority should be made responsible. There should be a balance between authority and responsibility.
(c) Discipline: Discipline is the obedience to organisational rules and employment agreement. Discipline includes rules and regulation, maintaining good relationship with other, performing given task honestly etc.
(d) Unity of Command: According to Fayol there should be one and only one boss for every individual employee. Each one should be commanded by one and responsible to that one only. This helps to avoid confusion regarding tasks to be done.
