Optimizing Organizational Effectiveness in Higher Education: An Integrated Application of Fayol's Management Principles

This paper solely focuses on the fourteen principles established by Henri Fayol and their application in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), further analyzing their implications. Published works previously related to this study were reviewed extensively. This review provided a rigorous understanding of the principles, facilitating better comprehension and further modifications. The importance, benefits, strengths, and weaknesses of these principles were tested to determine their suitability in HEI departments. Data was drawn from various HEI departments, giving this study a directional perspective. Based on literature and results obtained from the data, it was concluded that Fayol's principles of management are as relevant to HEI departments as they are in other existing organizations. The paper further recommends that HEI departments should always maintain a clear sense of direction and engage staff by continuously reminding them of the organization's goals and objectives. It is also essential to offer staff a sense of importance within the organization and treat them with utmost objectivity.

Relevance of classical management concepts in the contemporary era – a case study of Fayol’s principles

Purpose This hypothetical case study aims to revisit the classical model given by Henri Fayol whereby he put forward a set of 14 principles to guide managers in decision-making across organizations. The case study showcases the dilemma in which the top manager of an automobile company finds himself when some of the very basic principles – on which the whole discipline of management is founded – are ignored. It will also serve as an aid for faculty members in B-Schools to teach students the significance of basic management principles postulated many years back which stand relevant even in contemporary times.Design/methodology/approach This case study is based on a hypothetical scenario in the corporate world. Different incidents in a fictitious automobile manufacturing firm are presented and the corresponding principles given by Henri Fayol are inferred.FindingsThis case study highlights that decision-making gets complicated if fundamental principles of management are not complied with. The decision taken during each and every situation which has been discussed in this case study is contrary to the correct course of action as propounded by Fayol. Modern-day managers must acknowledge the relevance and importance of these principles for achieving success in business.Originality/value This case study underscores that even in this volatile business environment where most of the management practices are technology-driven, we cannot disregard the most elementary rules of management. The managers working at different levels in the organizational hierarchy may be guided to make the right decisions in situations similar to the ones described.

The primary objective of this paper is to review an article titled “Henri Fayol, practitioner and theoretician - revered and reviled” written by Mildred Golden Pryor and Sonia Taneja (2010). Pryor and Taneja (2010) critically evaluate Fayol’s theory within the contemporary business context. They argued that Fayol’s theories are valuable and relevant for organizational leaders because Fayol was a practitioner who documented theoriesthat worked best for him and his co-workers. Even though, there are a few criticisms on Fayol’s theories still his theories are applicable with some advancement as a basement for the management implications for the contemporary business world. Pryor and Taneja (2010) compare Fayol’s work with the contribution of other scholars namely, Follett, Mintzberg, Taylor, and Porter’s, while evaluating the original and current interpretation and application of Fayol’s theories. Finally, Pryor and Taneja (2010) appreciate Fayol’s contribution specially the 14 principles of management due to its more optimistic features. Therefore, it is necessary for the students, teachers, and practitioners to understand the relevance of the theories and be able to utilize, Fayol’s principles and theories for improving the organizational performance and further studies.

The study recommended that the school management team educate parents on the importance of extracurricular activities. Further, research needs to be done on the influence of physical development on a child's academic achievement.

Influence of Administrative Factors on Principals’ Performance in Public Secondary Schools in Kenya: A case of Kilifi North Sub-county.

Studies show that the performance of schools relies much on the administration. The study purposed to investigate the administrative factors that influence the principal’s performance in public secondary schools in Kenya, Kilifi North sub-county. This was done by examining the influence of delegation of duties to school personnel and the influence of contributions of the Board of Management and Parents-Teachers Association.

TEORI ADMINISTRASI HENRI FAYOL: GAGASAN, KONTRIBUSI, DAN BATASANNYA

This paper aims to examine and discuss the concepts, contributions, and limitations of Henri Fayol's administrative theory in the field of management development. Many experts assert that Fayol's administrative theory has made a significant impact on the advancement of modern management. Nevertheless, this theory has also faced criticism and possesses certain constraints when applied in practice. In this study, a historical analysis methodology is employed to acquire a more profound understanding of the history, background, core ideas, implementation, and contributions of Fayol's administrative theory. Furthermore, this research critically evaluates several limitations of Fayol's administrative theory that have been previously identified in relevant literature. These limitations encompass the insufficient consideration of human factors within organizations, the influence of cultural and organizational environments, inflexibility in complex and dynamic situations, as well as an excessive focus on efficiency rather than effectiveness. Despite these limitations, Fayol's administrative theory continues to serve as a crucial foundation in the development of modern management

Decision-making Skills and Public Senior Secondary Schools Principals’ Administrative Effectiveness in Oyo State, Nigeria

The study investigated the relationship between decision-making skills and administrative effectiveness of principals in public senior secondary schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. The role of school principals is crucial in creating an environment that fosters effective teaching and learning, and their decision-making skills have a significant impact on the overall functioning and success of the school. The study hinges on Management Theory of Henry Fayol and Fiedler’s Contingency Theory of leadership. A mixed method approach is utilized, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques are used in a multistage sampling procedure to choose the respondents. Data from 629 principals and 4,204 teachers were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The study revealed a high level of administrative effectiveness (overall weighted mean = 3.47) among principals in planning (weighted mean = 3.48), coordinating (weighted mean = 3.39), and supervising (weighted mean = 3.47) activities in their schools. However, areas for improvement were identified, such as ensuring the provision of necessary resources, planning for maintenance of school infrastructural facilities, and deciding how the school budget will be spent. The prevalence of autocratic leadership (44.5%) among public secondary school principals in Oyo State was also found, but a significant proportion reported using democratic and digital leadership styles. The findings from the study indicate that there is a significantly high positive relationship (r = 0.960) between decision-making skills and administrative effectiveness. The study suggested among others that there is a need for principals to explore alternative decision-making skills that promote teamwork, collaboration, and shared decision-making.

Administrative Function of Principal as a Correlates to Teacher Training Colleges Effectiveness in Littoral Region of Cameroon

Purpose: This study review literature on principals’ function and evaluate how principals’ administrative functions correlates to effectiveness in teacher training colleges in the littoral region of Cameroon. Related literature on principals’ administrative function was reviewed. This study was substantiated by Henry Fayol (1911) administrative theory and Micheal Fullan (2013) school effectiveness theory. Conceptually the work appraised to evaluate how principals’ administrative functions correlates to effectiveness in teacher training colleges.
 Methodology: The research design used for this study was the survey research design and the instruments used were the interview guides and the questionnaire. A sample of twelve (12) principals were interviewed and one hundred and thirty-three teachers were administered a questionnaire using the purposive random sampling technique. The variables under the study were content validated and the reliability was calculated at 0.5-0.616 all above the threshold of 0.5 data were made essentially of categorical variables and were analyzed using frequencies, simple percentages and pearson product moment correlation analysis. Chi square test of equal proportion was used to compare perception of teachers and principals of O.5CL. Based on the research questions of the study, four null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level.
 Findings: The findings revealed that Гxy value is 0.012 is lower than the critical Гxy value of 0.172. Thus principals’ administrative functions do not correlate effectiveness in teachers training colleges. Furthermore, correlation revealed that Гxy 0.012 is positive. This indicates that principals’ administrative functions correlates effectiveness in teacher training colleges in littoral province of Cameroon. Also the correlation of 0.054 is weak positive correlation thus principals’ social functions improves effectiveness in teachers training colleges. These results are therefore implying that if the government wants to improve and sustain the employability of the youths, teacher education shall be promoted.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: It was therefore recommended that the government should recruit graduates of teacher training colleges immediately after graduating. The government shall provide the necessary financial resources as well as didactic materials to teacher training colleges. For principals, they should provide enough incentives and allowances to their teachers and subordinates in other to ensure quality education in teachers’ institutions, for teachers, they should ensure that their learners are effectively learning since they are the guarantor of quality education. For parents, they shall encourage their children to go to teacher training colleges given the readily employability potentials. For the students, they should love teaching since it is a noble profession.

This paper provides a modest contribution to understanding how Fayol's principles can be contextualised and applied in the administration of school systems in Tanzania and beyond. A qualitative approach is adopted to review journal articles that analyse Fayol's 14 principles and compares their suitability to the current management of school systems in Tanzania. A descriptive analysis was conducted to examine the typical structure and operations of school systems in Tanzania in line with Fayol's principles. Fayol's principles are reviewed and analysed to conceptualise them in school management and administration. While the literature and anecdote on Fayol's principles on the administration of business and industrial systems are clear, its contextualisation in the administration of school systems is rare, particularly in Tanzania. Therefore, the match of Fayol's principles was evaluated concerning the management of the education system as articulated in educational policies, educational sector reports and government circulars. Document analysis reveals that Fayol's 14 principles work better in a decentralised schooling system than in centralised authorities and procedures. There is a high linkage in the usability of Fayol's 14 principles in Tanzania's schooling systems concerning the decentralisation of primary and secondary education management to the local level context. This paper recommends further studies to explore the existing structures and administration of the education sector at different levels of schooling. Further review and analysis of Henry Fayol's administrative principles are recommended using different research approaches and designs.   Key words: Fayol's principles, school administration, education structure, Education policies, Tanzania.

Where economics and management connect: Courcelle-Seneuil as a pioneer of scientific management

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the pioneering work of the 19th-century French author Jean-Gustave Courcelle-Seneuil in developing a scientific perspective on management, whose origin is commonly associated with the contributions of Frederick Taylor and Henri Fayol. Design/methodology/approach Through a historical analytical approach and doing a parallel analysis with the origins of the economic theory, fragments of two works by Jean-Gustave Courcelle-Seneuil (1813–1892) are analyzed: The Theoretical and Practical Treatise on Industrial, Commercial and Agricultural Enterprises: A Business Manual (1855) and Ergonomics, the second part of the book Theoretical and Practical Treatise on Political Economy (1858), in which the author devotes a chapter to relevant aspects of management, such as entrepreneurship, production, human resources, finance and accounting. Findings In addition to noting the pioneering character of these contributions, particularly the emphasis on entrepreneurship, Courcelle-Seneuil’s argument favors in the 19th century a scientific approach to management, contradicting the belief of businesspeople of the time, according to whom management was something practical, impossible to be studied analytically. Research limitations/implications This study indicates that looking to the past is essential to know what has already been produced in a particular field of knowledge. This return to the origins is fundamental to understanding how science evolves. Although management as a systematized field of expertise is usually dated to the beginning of the 20th century, there are reasons to expand on the influences that gave rise to this science, particularly regarding lesser-known but equally important contributions. Originality/value This study explores a lesser-known contribution to the origin of management theory and seeks to contribute to the study of the origin of the division of the fields of management science, its roots and its intersection with the economic science practiced in the half of the 19th century.

The study aimed to examine the managerial practices of school principals in district Poonch Azad Jammu & Kashmir's private secondary schools, using Henri Fayol's management theory's purpose principles as a framework. The primary goals of the study were to assess how the heads' experience impacted their adherence to Fayol's purpose principles and to compare the implementation of these principles based on gender. The research was founded on Henri Fayol's administrative theory. All the private schools were population of the study which was 94 during the academic year 2012-17. Systematic sampling technique adopted to select the sample. There 76 private schools selected as sample of the study. The data collected through questionnaires. This Instrument had been validated from the experts. Collected data had been entered in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). This software supported the scholar for the generation of reports. For data analysis mean, ANNOVA and t-test used to find the relevant results of objectives. Results reported and derived on the basis of data analysis. Some key findings were that principles of Fayol management theory are practiced by heads. However some parts of this theory are being neglected. The implementation of these principles varies based on the previous experience of the team leads. In certain cases, highly experienced individuals may overlook principles that are crucial for those with less experience. The implementation of management principles also varies among leaders based on gender. Based on these variations in results, it is recommended that different performance reviews be provided to the school heads to assess their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, school heads may benefit from proper training sessions and mentoring. It is also suggested that workshops be conducted to raise awareness about management theories

Moderate Hajj: Management of Hajj Manasik Guidance Based on Religious Moderation

The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview and analyze the application of management and its functions in the guidance of religious moderation-based Hajj rituals at KBIHU Khazanah Mandiri Depok and Ibnu Aqil Bogor. This study uses descriptive-qualitative methods and approaches and data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The foundation of management theory is from Henry Fayol, the theory of religious moderation refers to the principle of wasathiyah from Yusuf Al Qardhawi, and the theory of independence from Steinberg. The study results show that the management functions from the planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, and controlling stages in the guidance of Hajj rituals in both KBIHU have generally been implemented but have yet to be optimal. Several weaknesses include religious moderation material, independence, competency standards for prospective pilgrims, assessment in guidance, and visual aids. The results of this study recommend that the management of Hajj ritual guidance at KBIHU continues to be developed and optimized in the form of an integrated Hajj ritual guidance model based on religious moderation and quality-oriented.
