b)chain of command
c)unity of direction
d)unity of command​

Answer 1

Answer:

Division of work is the correct answer.

Answer 2

The correct option is a)division of work.

• Division of work  management approach is based on the idea that giving employees a task that is highly specialised will enable them to master it more quickly and effectively than if they were given a variety of responsibilities.
• Therefore, an effective process will be one in which each person plays a specific function.
• Unity of command specifies that within an organisation, the chain of authority should be crystal apparent. An employee needs to be clear about whose directives to follow.
• Work should be arranged such that employees are cooperating to achieve a common purpose or goal while following a common process or procedure in the principle of unity of direction.

Hence, division of work management principle states that work should be divided so that each person will perform a specialized portion.
