Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
(A) Remuneration of Employees — this matches (II) The overall pay and compensation should be fair to both employees and the organisation. Pay should give workers a reasonable standard of living and still be within what the company can afford.
(B) Unity of Direction — this matches (IV) One Head, One Plan. All units with the same objective work under one head and one plan, so their efforts do not overlap.
(C) Authority and Responsibility — this matches (I) An organisation should build safeguards against abuse of managerial power. Authority must go with matching responsibility, and a manager given power must not be able to misuse it.
(D) Division of Work — this matches (III) Specialisation is the most efficient way to use human effort. Work is split into small tasks, each done by a trained specialist, which raises speed and skill.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “Fayol’s Principles of Management … (i) 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.”” “(ii) Authority and Responsibility: According to Fayol, “Authority is the right to give orders and obtain obedience, and responsibility is the corollary of authority. The two types of authority are official authority, which is the authority to command, and personal authority which is the authority of the individual manager.” Authority is both formal and informal. Managers require authority commensurate with their responsibility. There should be a balance between authority and responsibility. An organisation should build safeguards against abuse of managerial power. …” “(v) Unity of Direction: All the units of an organisation should be moving towards the same objectives through coordinated and focussed efforts. Each group of activities having the same objective must have one head and one plan. …” “(vii) Remuneration of Employees: The overall pay and compensation should be fair to both employees and the organisation. …” |
