Question:

According to Fayol, why should management promote teamwork in large organizations?

Options:

To create a competitive environment among employees

To foster a spirit of mutual trust and belongingness among team members

To increase the use of penalties for non-compliance

To emphasize the individual contributions of employees

Correct Answer:

To foster a spirit of mutual trust and belongingness among team members

Explanation:

Fayol suggests that management should promote teamwork, especially in large organizations. The reason for this is that teamwork fosters a spirit of mutual trust and belongingness among team members. By replacing 'I' with 'We' in conversations with workers, a manager can contribute to building this sense of unity and harmony within the team. This approach not only helps in realizing objectives effectively but also minimizes the need for using penalties. The emphasis here is on collaboration and mutual support to achieve common goals, creating a positive and cooperative work environment.
