Which principle of general management advocates that, “Employee turnover should be minimised to maintain organisational efficiency”?

Stability of personnel

The correct answer is option 1- Stability of personnel.

Stability of personnel advocates that, “Employee turnover should be minimised to maintain organisational efficiency”.

Stability of Personnel: “Employee turnover should be minimised to maintain organisational efficiency”, according to Fayol. Personnel should be selected and appointed after due and rigorous procedure. But once selected they should be kept at their post/ position for a minimum fixed tenure. They should have stability of tenure. They should be given reasonable time to show results. Any adhocism in this regard will create instability/insecurity among employees. They would tend to leave the organisation. Recruitment, selection and training cost will be high. So stability in tenure of personnel is good for the business.
