Savitri is biased towards her female subordinates when it comes to solving the conflicts among the employees. Which principle is being violated here?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Equity
The Principle of Equity (one of Henri Fayol's 14 Principles of Management) states that employees should be treated with kindness and justice by their managers. This means that all employees, regardless of gender, caste, religion, nationality, or position, should be treated fairly and impartially. Savitri's bias towards her female subordinates when resolving conflicts is a clear violation of this principle, as she is not applying justice equally to all parties involved.
