  • Henri Fayol’s equity principle states that employees must be treated kindly and equally with fairness and justice. Managers should supervise and monitor the employees and give equal treatment to employees of similar position. 

  • This principle was incredibly important and groundbreaking at the time. The idea that all people in the workplace deserved to be treated with respect and kindness was a new way of thinking.


  • But equity does not mean total absence of harshness and responsibility. Fayol was of the opinion that “at times force and harshness might become necessary for the sake of equity”.


  • This principle shows just how ahead of his time Fayol was, as equity is something we still strive for today. As we strive for a fairer and better world of work where anyone can do anything, it is principles like this that point us in the right direction.

As well as rank, Fayol argues that a manager's intelligence, experience and values should command respect.

Division of Labour

Division of Labour [1] The first Henry Fayol principle of management is based on the theory that if an employee is given a specific task to do, they will become more efficient and skilled in it. Productivity increases as employees become more skilled, assured and efficient. Today, experts still warn against multi-tasking. Even in Trinity, we see this principle in action. Every department has a different responsibility, like the academic registry, sports centre, administration, sanitation etc. These responsibilities are taken care of by employees specialising in that particular department, increasing efficiency and productivity and making them specialists in their field.
