2.DisciplineAccording to Fayol ,Discipline requires observation of certain rules and regulation by all employees in the organization. Good superiors at all levels must have clear and fair agreements and application of penalties. They have to accept certain code of conduct while performing their jobs. In return the management has promised to increase wages of the workers when this mission is accomplished.

3.Authority and responsibilityAccording to Fayol ‘Authority is the right to give order and obtain obedience, and responsibility is the one who is responsible for certain function. ” Authority is both formal and informal. There should be a balance between authority and responsibility. An organization should build safeguards against abuse of managerial power. At the same time a manager should have necessary authority to carry out his responsibility.

4.Unity of commandHenry fayol suggested that an employee
should get orders from one superior only . if two superiors exercise their authority on the same employee, there will be disorder and confusion . In fast, dual command is always dangerous.

5.Unity of directionFayol suggested that there
should be one head and one plan for a group of activities having the same objective. In the absence of unity of direction there will be confusion among the employees.
There should be same directions to all the employees doing similar activities. A particular activity must be directed with the help of a single plan.

6.CentralisationAccording to Fayol, extreme
centralisation or decentralization of authority should be avoided and a proper balance between centralisation and decentralization should be maintained . Fayol also suggests that some degree of centralization must be introduced in order to have best result in terms of achievement of objectives .The concentration of decision –making authority is called centralization.

9.Stability of tenureFrom the point of view of management it is
absolutely harmful to change the employees frequently as it is a reflection of inefficient management.
Managers as well as subordinates need some time to learn and understand the job assigned to them. They will adjust the work within a short period. If they leave or are removed within a short period, the learning time will be wasted. Hence stability of personnel is necessary which means security of job.

14.Scalar chainAccording to this principal, scalar chain refers to the line of authority and communication which moves in a straight line from the superior most authority to the lowest subordinate. Under this chain of authority, each communication moves from top to lower level and from lower to top level.

For example :
In this diagram A is the superior of the whole organization. B & K are heads of next level of management and so on. If F & O need to contact each other then acc. to scalar chain F will move to E, E to D, D to C and so on and finally to O. In some cases F can directly contact O but with the approval of E & N (immediate superiors). This is called Gang Plank
