Explain briefly 'Discipline' and 'Unity of Command' as general principles of management.
Advertisements
Solution
i. Discipline: Discipline implies that an organisation should follow the rules and regulations and ensure conformity to the set rules and policies. It is important for both the management as well as the workers that they honour their commitments and clear and fair agreements.
ii. Unity of Command: According to the concept of unity of command, any employee should be answerable to only one boss. If an individual receives commands and directions from two or more superiors, then this principle is violated, and there will be chaos and conflicts.

What is meant by principles of management?
‘Adharshila Vidyalaya’ believes in holistic development of students and encourages team building through a mix of curricular, co-curricular and sports activities. On its Founders’ Day, a stage performance had to be put up. A committee of ten prefects was constituted to plan different aspects of the function. They all decided to use recycled paper for decoration. As there was a spirit of unity and harmony and all members supported each other with mutual trust and belongingness, the programme was systematically planned and executed. Arvind, one of the prefects, realised that unknowingly the group had applied one of the principles of management while planning and executing the programme. He was so inspired by the success of the function, that he asked his father to apply the same principle in his business. His father replied that he was already using this principle.
