12. A. Division of work
This is the principal of specialization which is necessary to
get efficiency in the utilization of labour. Fayol tells that this
principle is applied to all kind of work managerial as well as
technical to get best from his employees.
13. B. Authority and Responsibility
Authority and responsibility are two interrelated terms in management
Authority is the power and right inherent in a managerial position through
which a manager commands subordinates to work. Similarly, responsibility
is the obligation to accomplish assigned jobs. Authority and responsibility
should be properly passed so that we can function properly. Some
authority can be passed to sub ordinate but responsibility might not be
passed. However responsibility arise as authority is passed.
14. C. Discipline
Discipline means obedience to the superiors and fulfillment of systems of
the organization. Every organization involves specific rules, regulation,
working procedures and system. This principle is applicable both to
managers and subordinates. In every organization, discipline is the must
for the development of the feeling of self-responsibility among the
personnel and for smooth functioning of the organization. Without
discipline no organization can achieve goal.
15. D. Unity of Command
Each employee must receive instruction from only one
superior/supervisor/boss and report to only one superior in
order to remove conflict in instruction and confusion in
authority. It makes employees responsible for
accomplishment of assigned jobs.
16. E. Unity of Direction
Unity of direction means similarity to guidance. According to the principle
there must be one manager and one plan for group activities for achieving
specific objectives. It makes the manager more responsible for directing and
coordinating the activities of subordinates. It is essential to accomplish
predetermined objectives with specified time and standard. It is the reason
that project manager should not be terminated at the mid of the project
work.
17. F. Subordination of individual interest to General interest
Individual interest means fulfillment of employee’s objectives whereas
general interest means achievement of organizational objectives. Employees
of the organization must not think about their interest rather they should
think about the interest of organization as a whole. In other words
employees should dissolve their individual goal towards the goal of the
organization.
18. G. Remuneration of personnel
Remuneration is the price payable to the employees for their devotion of
time and effort. Compensation for work should be fair for both employees
and employer, so that it doesn’t affect the daily life of employees. Wages
should be determined by considering employees’ responsibilities, cost of
living, and finance status of the organization. Fair wage is essential for
smooth performance of the organization.
19. H. Centralization and Decentralization
Centralization is said to be a process where the concentration of decision
making is in a few hands. All the important decision and actions at the lower
level, all subjects and actions at the lower level are subject to the approval of
top management whereas Decentralization is a systematic delegation of
authority at all levels of management and in all of the organization. In a
decentralization concern, authority in retained by the top management for
taking major decisions and framing policies concerning the whole concern.
20. I. Scalar Chain
Communication is a crucial aspect of any organization and the principle of
scalar chain revolves around the flow of communication from management
to the lowest rank in the company. Scalar chain is a chain of all supervisors
from the top management to the person working in the lowest rank.
A clear line of communication is very important for any organization to
achieve its objectives. The communication has to flow in an order for it to be
effective. Scale chain identifies that path.
21. J. Order
The principle of management concentrates for the
systematic arrangement of organizational resources.
The systematic arrangement of resource in one way
looks attractive and in another way it helps for
smooth functioning of the organizational activities.
This principle is essential to minimize wastages and
bring smoothness in organizational activities.
22. K. Equity
The principle of equity concentrates on kindness and justice to all
the employees working in the organization. As a father figure of
the organization, manager needs to behave all the employees as
equal members of the organization. The practice of favoritism and
partiality must be avoided. This principle of management must be
taken into consideration for long term successful functioning of
the organization.
23. L. Stability of Tenure
This principle is concerned with job security and long term
functioning of workers in the organization. Stability of tenure in
one way helps to develop working efficiency of employees and in
another way it makes them loyal towards the organization.
Instability is both the cause and affect of bad management. Fayol
points out the danger and cause of unnecessary turnover.
24. M. Initiative
This principle emphasizes to provide freedom and preference to
subordinates for planning and its implementation. One of the
most expected willingness of an intelligent and skilled employee is
to get initiation in his work. Subordinate should be given the
freedom to carry out their plan even though some mistakes may
result.
25. N. Espirit de corps
Team work, team spirit and a sense of unity and togetherness
should be fostered and maintained. If the group works
together in cooperative manner, then it becomes easy to work
and production will increase.
26. Managerial Skills
To become a perfect manager he should possess some sort of skills whatever
may be the level of manager, he needs different kinds of skills, some in large
quantity some in less quantity is they are to successful in their fields. A
manager should be perfect in every field of organizational work. As skill is an
individual ability to translate knowledge into action. Therefore in order to be
successful a manager should possess a wide variety of skills and ability.
Basically there are 3 types of skills ..
27. 1. Conceptual skill
Conceptual skill represent the managers ability to organize the overall working of
the organization and take a broad decision of the organization or insight view of the
organization. Here manager needs the mental capacity to understand the overall
working of the organization and its environment here manager’s ability help the
organization to take important decision of the organization. Formal education and
training are very important in helping manager develop conceptual skill. This skill is
needed by the top level management
28. 2. Human skill
Human skill are ability to work, understand and motivate other people. It is needed
to get along with other people and to get work done through other people. Human
skills include interpersonal skill such as directing, motivating, communicating,
negotiating, bargaining, leading. A manager must have human skill because they
spend more time interacting with other people both inside and outside the
organization. A manager who has good skill is likely to be more successful. This skill
is mostly needed by middle manager.
29. 3. Technical skill
Technical skill are the skill necessary to accomplish or understand the specific kind
of work done in the organization. These skills are the ability to use the procedure
technique and knowledge of a specialized field. These skills are specially important
for first line manager/ lower level managers. These managers spend most of the
time in training subordinate and answering questions about work related matter .
They must know how to perform the talk assigned to them, if they are to be
successful manager. For example accountant must be expert in accounting. A
production manager must have the skill to plan , operate, repair, maintain,
machines and equipment.

Managerial roles are specific behaviors associated with the task of management. Managers adopt
these roles to accomplish the basic functions of management just discussed—planning and
strategizing, organizing, controlling, and leading and developing employees. One of the earliest
and most enduring descriptions of managerial roles comes from Henry Mintzberg,who (as we
