Unity of direction-employees' efforts should be focused on achieving organizational objectives. 6. Subordination of individual interest to the general interest-the general interest must predominate. 7. Remuneration-systematically reward efforts that support the organization's direction. 8. Centralization-determine the relative importance of superior and subordinate roles. 9. Scalar chain-keep communications within the chain of command. 10. Order-order jobs and material so they support the organization's direction. 11. Equity-fair discipline and order enhance employee commitment. 12. Stability and tenure of personnel-promote employee loyalty and longevity. 13. Initiative-encourage employees to act on their own in support of the organization's direction. 14.
