Read the following case study and answer the question.

Mr. Anil is working in an MNC as a production manager. Mr. Rajat is working under him who is responsible for ordering raw material for the firm. Mr. Anil always take care of his subordinates, but gives priority to organisational objectives. All the subordinates obey the orders of Mr. Anil. They are self-motivated to take steps.

"All the subordinate obey the order of Mr. Anil."

Which Principle of Management is reflected by the above statement?

Discipline

The correct answer is option (2) : Discipline

The principle of management reflected by the statement "All the subordinates obey the order of Mr. Anil" is Discipline.

Discipline is one of the key principles of management, and it emphasizes the need for employees to follow rules, orders, and directions given by their superiors. In this case, Mr. Anil's subordinates obey his orders, which indicates that there is discipline in the organization, and employees are adhering to the established rules and regulations.

* Discipline is the obedience to organisational rules and employment agreement which are necessary for the working of the organisation. According to Fayol, discipline requires good superiors at all levels, clear and fair agreements and judicious application of penalties. Suppose management and labour union have entered into an agreement whereby workers have agreed to put in extra hours without any additional payment to revive the company out of loss. In return the management has promised to increase wages of the workers when this mission is accomplished. Here discipline when applied would mean that the workers and management both honour their commitments without any prejudice towards one another.
