Which of the following principles is not followed by the company?

Division of work

The correct answer is option 3- Division of work.

Division of work is not followed by the company.

Division of Work- Work is divided into small tasks/ jobs. A trained specialist who is competent is required to perform each job. Thus, division of work leads to specialisation. According to Fayol, “The intent of division of work is to produce more and better work for the same effort. Specialisation is the most efficient way to use human effort.” In business work can be performed more efficiently if it is divided into specialised tasks; each performed by a specialist or trained employee. This results in efficient and effective output. Thus, in a company we have separate departments for finance, marketing, production and human resource development etc. All of them have specialised persons. Collectively they achieve production and sales targets of the company. Fayol applies this principle of division of work to all kinds of work – technical as well as managerial. You can observe this principle at work in any organisation like hospital or even a government office.

OTHER OPTIONS

• Initiative- Employees are encouraged to contribute their suggestions and work together as a team.

• Discipline- All agreements are clear, fair, and penalties are applied judiciously.

• Esprit de corps- She would want to promote a team spirit of unity and harmony among employees, which would give rise to a spirit of mutual trust and belongingness among team members.

ALL THESE PRINCIPLES ARE FOLLOWED BY THE COMPANY. THERE IS NO USE OF DIVISION OF WORK PRINCIPLE IN THE COMPANY.
