* Scalar chain:
 An organization consists of superiors and subordinates. The formal lines of authority from highest to lowest ranks are known as scalar chain.

* Order: According to Fayol, “People and materials must be in suitable places at appropriate time for maximum efficiency.” The principle of order states that ‘A place for everything (everyone) and everything (everyone) in its (her/his) place’. Essentially it means orderliness.

* Equity: This principle emphasizes kindliness and justice in the behavior of managers towards workers. This will ensure loyalty and devotion.

* Esprit De Corps: Management should promote a team spirit of unity and harmony among employees, according to Fayol. Management should promote teamwork especially in large organizations because otherwise objectives would be difficult to realize.
