PRINCIPLES OF
ORGANIZATION
Organizing
It is the process of bringing together
physical, financial and human resources and
developing productive relationship amongst
the for achievement of organization goals
1. Principles of objectives
Every enterprise has its own objectives.
These objectives are to be well defined.
The structure of an organization should
be developed on the basis of its
objectives.
2. Division of labour
A work should be assigned to a person according
to ability, education and skill. Repetition of the
same work will lead to specialization. This will
increase productivity. So the efficiency of the
whole establishment will also go up. So there
should be division of labour in an organization.
3.Priciples of definition
The function, responsibilities, authority and
relationships of different departments and
individuals should be clearly defined.
4.Scalar chain
It refers an unbroken line of authority from
top level management to lower level.
Subordinates must know who is superior
and vice versa. This will help to establish a
line of communication. This chain of
command is known as scalar chain.
5.Unity of command
This principle states that an individual
should be placed under the control of only
one superior. The individual should receive
orders and instructions from only one
superior and not from several superiors
6.Span of control
Span of control determines the number of
subordinates a superior can effectively
manage. The organization structure
should be so devised that there is the
correct span of control.
7. Flexibility
Organisation structure should be flexible
to introduce changes. In other words
organization structure should have the
capacity to grow along with the growth of
enterprise.
8.Unity of direction
All departmental gaols are tuned to
achieve common goal. So there should be
co ordination of all activities of the
organization to achieve common goal.
9.Management by exception
Here the top level management is not involving
routine matters. Subordinates take the
decisions related to routine matters. The
authority is delegated to them. Senior
managers will only deal with exceptional.
