Business Studies Principles of Management

Easy

Which of the following principles are taken from the 14-Principles suggested by Henry Fayol? (A) Discipline (B) Scalar Chain (C) Stability of the business organisation (D) Equity Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A), (B) and (C) only

(B), (C) and (D) only

(A), (C) and (D) only

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> This includes Discipline, Scalar Chain, and Equity - all three are actual principles from Fayol's 14 Principles of Management. Option 2 -> This includes "Stability of the business organisation" which is NOT one of Fayol's principles. Fayol mentioned "Stability of Tenure of Personnel" (job security for employees), not stability of business organization. Option 3 -> This includes "Stability of the business organisation" which is incorrect as explained above, making this option wrong. Option 4 -> This also includes "Stability of the business organisation" which is NOT from Fayol's 14 principles, making this option incorrect. Hence, Option 1: (A), (B) and (D) only -> Discipline (principle of maintaining obedience and respect), Scalar Chain (hierarchy of communication from top to bottom), and Equity (fair treatment of employees) are all authentic principles from Henry Fayol's 14 Principles of Management. Option (C) incorrectly states "Stability of the business organisation" when Fayol's actual principle is "Stability of Tenure of Personnel" which refers to employee job security, not organizational stability. -> correct
