Savitri is biased towards her female subordinates when it comes to solving the conflicts among the employees. Which principle is being violated here?

  1. Order
  2. Equity
  3. Discipline
  4. Span of control

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Order refers to systematic arrangement of resources and people in their right place, not about fair treatment in conflict resolution.

Option 2 -> Equity means treating all employees fairly and impartially without discrimination or bias, which is directly violated when showing favoritism.

Option 3 -> Discipline relates to obedience, adherence to rules, and respect for authority, not about impartial conflict resolution.

Option 4 -> Span of control refers to the number of subordinates a manager can effectively supervise, unrelated to bias in handling conflicts.


Hence, Option 2: Equity -> When Savitri shows bias towards her female subordinates while solving conflicts, she violates the principle of equity which requires managers to be fair, just, and impartial in dealing with all employees regardless of gender, religion, or any other factor -> correct
