(i) Authority and Responsibility: Authorin’ is a right to give order and power to exert obedience. Responsibility implies the obligation to perform the work in the manner desired and directed. Authority and responsibility must go by side. There should be parity between authority and responsibility. Authority without responsibility leads to irresponsible behaviour while responsibility without authority makes a person ineffective.

(ii) Stability of Tenure: This principle states that one subordinate should receive orders from one superior only. The subordinate should be accountable to that superior from whom he received orders. In other words every employee should have only one boss. Dual on multiple commands creates chaos in the organisation since it undermines authority. Authority should be delegated in such a manner that a subordinate works under one superior only.

(iii) Division of work: Division of work implies dividing the total task into compact jobs and allocating these compact jobs to different individuals. The object of division work is to facilitate specialisation and improve efficiency. Due to the division of work higher productivity’ and better performance is possible. When an individual does the same job on a repetitive basis he specializes in his task and thus acquires speed and accuracy in the performance.
