Employee Discipline: Concepts And Issues

 
G. Jegadeesan (Author)
Synopsis Discipline is the very basis of a well-organized and stable society. It forms the backbone of industrial management. No institution, howsoever progressive, can work effectively with indisciplined employees. The employee-employer relationship depends upon the overall control that an employer exercises over his employees, not only with regard to their performance of work in the establishment but also with regard to their conduct and behavior. Managements have to ensure proper maintenance of discipline for the smooth functioning of the organizations as well as for productivity enhancement. It is a reality that there are always many infirmities in an organization, and sometimes conflicts between the interests of two groups become inevitable. If such incidents do happen, they can be amicably settled with the help of appropriate machinery available in an organization. It is important to remember that whatever the points of difference, indiscipline on the part of the employee or employees will not be justified on any ground. The book delves into the concept and importance of employee discipline, causes of misconduct, disciplinary procedures, punitive model, progressive discipline model and positive discipline model, role of disciplinary committee, code of conduct, whistle-blower policy, investigation, documentation of the disciplinary procedure and punishment action which should be consistent and considerate. Issues like bullying, theft, below-standard performance and online data theft are discussed. Constructive disciplinary procedures like counseling and employee assistance programs can enhance the probability of a more beneficial outcome in terms of organizational effectiveness, enhanced learning and building a just culture.
