Match List-I with List-II
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| Principle | Description |
| (A) Order | (I) A chain of authority and communication should be in place. |
| (B) Equity | (II) People and materials must be in suitable places at appropriate time for maximum efficiency. |
| (C) Discipline | (III) Employees should be treated as fairly as possible. |
| (D) Scalar Chain | (IV) Obedience to organisational rules and employment agreement. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV): Incorrectly matches Order with fair treatment instead of proper placement of resources.
Option 2 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV): Incorrectly matches Order with chain of authority instead of proper placement.
Option 3 -> (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III): Incorrectly matches Order with obedience to rules instead of proper placement.
Option 4 -> (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I): Correctly matches all principles with their definitions.
Hence, Option 4 -> Order means people and materials in right places at right time (II); Equity means fair treatment of employees (III); Discipline means obedience to rules and agreements (IV); Scalar Chain means hierarchical chain of authority and communication (I). This follows Fayol's 14 Principles of Management accurately. -> correct
