Discipline

Discipline [3]


















  • This principle states that for organisations to run smoothly and efficiently there should be a structure of rules and philosophies that everyone should meet. Breaking and bending of these rules should not be tolerated and should be met with a penalty.

  • In Chelsea Football Club in 2021 striker Romelu Lukakuwas fined £325,000 by the club for doing an interview for Sky Italia where he criticised the club as a result for this the club fined him for a breach of discipline.

  • I believe that rules and discipline are crucial in companies as it gives a company's workers structure and decorum. They also create an efficient work environment.

Stability of Tenure of Personnel [11] Henri Fayol's principle, "Stability of Tenure of Personnel," advocates for keeping employees in an organisation for extended periods. This principle emphasises numerous advantages:  - Long-tenured employees accrue expertise and specialised knowledge which benefit  company operations and growth. - It reduces costs associated with turnover, such as hiring and training expenses.  - Employees feeling secure in their positions are more motivated, leading to higher job   satisfaction and morale. - Reduced turnover enhances team cohesion, which, in the long term, improves efficiency  and productivity.

It was significant because it meant that everyone was working towards the same goal and avoided confusion over responsibilities.  Similar activities should be grouped together into one department, for example marketing activities including advertising, sales promotion, and market research should have one manager in charge of this total department with sub managers for each activity.  Splitting it up avoids confusion and increases productivity.

Collective Interest over Individual Interest

 Collective Interest over Individual Interest [6] The broad interest of the team as a whole should be prioritised above an individual’s personal interest. One person’s preference should not derail the entire organisation’s process.   This was significant because if one person splits from the group, the whole organisation could be in jeopardy. The organisation’s stability is vital to its lifespan. For example: If a team planned a corporate trip away, the team member in charge of booking accommodation and making arrangements must do so with affordability and practicality in mind, rather than prioritising their personal wants and needs. In another situation, one employee may think that they are entitled to smoke in the workplace, however the health and comfort of the entire team must be prioritised here.    Grace
