Dear student,

The principles of Fayol being violated are:

1) Order: It implies that there should be right arrangement of things at their respective places, i.e. right people at right place and at right time.

2) Espirit de corps: It means that managers should promote team spirit among employees. Each employee should have sense of belongingness in the organisation.

3) Initiative: It implies that workers should be given motivation and incentive to work.

4) Centralisation and decentralisation: It states that management must strike a balance between what areas to decentralise and what responsibilities can be retained with the top management,
