Question

After completing her Bachelors in Fashion Designing from a well-known college in France, Aditi has opened a boutique in a posh market in Kolkata. She has divided the work in smaller units and each employee is well trained to perform his/her task efficiently. The sales persons are allowed to close a deal with a buyer by giving a maximum of 5 percent discount, whereas the decision to give any further discount rests with Aditi as the final authority. In the earlier period of her business venture, employees were asked to put in extra hours of work. In return she had promised to give them a special incentive within a year. Therefore, when the business was doing well, she honours her commitment by giving bonus to her employees. She also instructed her employees that communication from top to bottom should follow the official lines of command. However, she tends to be more biased towards her female employees, when it comes to solve the conflicts among employees.

Aditi has divided the work in smaller units and each employee is well trained to perform his/her task efficiently. Which principle of management is being followed here?

पर्याय

• Centralization and Decentralization

• Division of work

• Discipline

• Order

• Unity of command

• Scaler chain

Answer 1

Division of work

Explanation:

Aditi has divided the work into smaller tasks and has trained employees to do their specific work efficiently.

This is exactly what the Principle of Division of Work means:

Breaking down the total work into smaller tasks and assigning them to different people according to their abilities and skills.

This makes the work more efficient and increases productivity.
