Option 4 : Principle of Equity

  • Order – Fayol wrote that "The right man in the right place" forms an effective social order. He applied the same maxim to materials: right one, right place. Academics note that this principle pre-empted the Just in Time  (JIT) strategy for efficient production. 
  • Equity – Managers should be fair to all employees through a "combination of kindliness and justice." Only then will the team "carry out its duties with devotion and loyalty."
  • Stability of Tenure of Personnel – Organizations should minimize staff turnover and role changes to maximize efficiency. If people are secure and good at their jobs, they are happier and more productive.
  • Initiative – Employees should be encouraged to develop and carry out plans for improvement. As Fayol wrote, "At all levels of the organizational ladder, zeal and energy on the part of employees are augmented by initiative."
  • Esprit de Corps – Organizations should strive to promote team spirit, unity, and morale.
  • Since Rohan tends to be more biased towards his male employees, he was violating the "Principle of Equity". Therefore Option 4 is the correct answer.
