Question

Ankit and Amisha are working as Sales Officers in an organisation. Ankit gets a salary of Rs.50,000 per month, while Amisha gets Rs.40,000 per month. Which principle of management is violated in the organisation?

• A. Order
• B. Fair Remuneration
• C. Discipline
• D. Equity

Hint:

Fayol's principle of: \[ \mathrm{Equity} \] means fairness and equal treatment of employees.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: According to Henri Fayol, the principle of: \[ \mathrm{Equity} \] means managers should treat employees with fairness, kindness, and justice. Employees performing similar work should be treated equally.

Step 1: Understand the situation.
Both Ankit and Amisha are: \[ \mathrm{Sales\ Officers} \] but they receive unequal salaries without any justification mentioned. This indicates lack of fairness and equality.

Step 2: Identify the violated principle.
The principle violated is: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{Equity}} \]

Step 3: Analyze the remaining options.
Order Related to proper arrangement of resources and people. \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Incorrect} \] Fair Remuneration Although salaries should be fair, the issue here mainly concerns equal treatment between employees. \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Less\ appropriate} \] Discipline Related to obedience and respect for rules. \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Incorrect} \]

Step 4: Identify the correct option.
Therefore, the principle violated is: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{Equity}} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{(D)}} \]
