Question

Rohan, manager of XYZ Ltd., is very partial in dealing with people from different states. Which management principle is being violated here?

• A. Discipline
• B. Initiative
• C. Order
• D. Equity

Hint:

Always ensure fairness and justice while dealing with team members to uphold the principle of \textbf{Equity}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The principle being violated is Equity. This principle, as stated by Henri Fayol, emphasizes fairness, kindness, and justice in the behavior of managers toward their subordinates. Any form of bias, discrimination, or favoritism, such as partiality based on states, goes against this foundational management principle.
Explanation of Other Options:

• (A) Discipline: Involves obedience, application, and respect for agreements but not fairness.
• (B) Initiative: Relates to encouraging employees to take actions or propose ideas.
• (C) Order: Refers to the systematic arrangement of people and resources.
