 Henry Fayol’s views on Administrative Management Approach:

Fayol is considered as the founder of the Administrative Management Approach. Henry Fayol’s theory of Adinmistrative Management Approach consists of several important principles that can be discussed as follows:

1) Hierarchical Structure: This Administrative Management principle Lays emphasis on the principle of hierarchical formal structure of an organisation.

2) Division of Work/Labour: The second most significant principle of organisation is a clear and well- defined division of work between different departments, branches and sections.

3) Loyalty: Loyalty to the organisation is the basic premise. The Principle involves giving precedence to the interests of the organisation over the interests of an individual or group of individuals.

4) Payment of Fair /Wages: Payment of Fair. Wages to the workers for the work or service they render or provide.

5) Unity of Direction: Each department or division of an organisation concerned with the performance of its respective activities should be directed by one manager using one plan.

6) Unity of Command: The meaning of the Unity of Command is that every subordinate shoukd get orders from one and only one superior. Differently put, an employee should not be subjected to the order of more than one superior..

7) Discipline: Ne organisation, in the opinion of Fayol, can succced if it lacks discipline among the workers because it is discipline that creates commonality of efforts of all workers in an organisation.

8) Authority: Authority is defined by Fayol as power to issue orders and secure compliance thereof. There is, further, a close relation between authority and responsibility. Authority and accountability go hand in hand. One who is vested with authority is also assigned with accountability.

9) Centratisation: In the scheme of thought of Fayol, centralisation may be scen as the reduction in the role and importance of the subordinates, whereas decentralisation has a reverse connotation, ie. increasing the importance of the role of the subordinates.
