Principles of Management

Question:

Management should promote a team spirit of unity and harmony among employees, according to Fayol. Management should promote teamwork especially in large organisations because otherwise objectives would be difficult to realise. It will also result in a loss of coordination. A manager should replace ‘I’ with ‘We’ in all his conversations with workers to foster team spirit. This will give rise to a spirit of mutual trust and belongingness among team members. It will also minimise the need for using penalties.

In large organizations, why does Fayol emphasize the promotion of teamwork by management?

Options:

To increase penalties for non-cooperation

To ease coordination challenges

To encourage individual objectives

To establish a hierarchical structure

Correct Answer:

To ease coordination challenges

Explanation:

Fayol suggests that teamwork is crucial in large organizations to prevent difficulties in realizing objectives and to maintain coordination.
