Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> Scalar Chain is one of Fayol's 14 principles of management, referring to the hierarchy of authority and communication channels in an organization.

Option 2 -> Order is one of Fayol's 14 principles, emphasizing "a place for everything and everything in its place" for both materials and people.

Option 3 -> Initiative is one of Fayol's 14 principles, encouraging employees to take initiative and be creative in their work.

Option 4 -> Standardisation is not part of Fayol's 14 principles of management; it is associated with F.W. Taylor's Scientific Management Theory.


Hence, Option 4: Standardisation -> Standardisation relates to F.W. Taylor's Scientific Management approach, which focuses on standardizing work methods, tools, and processes. Henry Fayol focused on administrative principles like scalar chain, order, and initiative, but not standardisation -> correct
