DISCIPLINE
Discipline. Obedience and respect between a firm and its employees based on
clear and fair agreements is absolutely essential to the functioning of any
organization. Good discipline requires managers to apply sanctions whenever
violations become apparent.
Good discipline in the result of effective leadership , a clear understanding
between management and workers regarding the organizational rules, and the
judicious use of penalties for interaction of the rules (2)
Definition:
According to Henry Fayol "Discipline" is "Outward marks of respect in
accordance with formal or informal agreements between a firm and it's
employees."
The objectives, rules and regulations, the policies and procedures must be
honored by each member of the organization.
Discipline is essential for the efficient operation of the organization. Discipline
is in essence the outward mark of respect for agreements between the
organization and its members. The managers must decide on the most
appropriate form of sanction in cases of offences against discipline.

Just as organizations systematically use rewards to encourage desirable


behavior, they also use punishment to discourage undesirable behavior.
Problems such as absenteeism, lateness, theft, and substance abuse cost
companies vast sum of money. Many companies attempt to manage such
situations by using discipline-the systematic administration of punishment. (1)

Discipline practices in organization
One very common practice involves using punishment progressively that is,
starting mildly and then increasing in severity with each successive infraction.
This is the idea behind progressive discipline- the practice of basing punishment
on the frequency and severity of the infraction.

Lets consider an example an example of how progressive discipline might


work for a common problem such as chronic absenteeism or tardiness. First the
supervisor may give the employee an informal oral warning. Then, if the
problem persists, there would be an official meeting with the supervisor during
which time a formal warning would be issued. The next offense would result in
a formal writing that becomes part of employees personnel record. Subsequent
offenses would lead to suspension without pay. And finally if all these failed the
employee would be terminated. In the case of more serious offenses- such as
gambling, for example- some of the preliminary steps would be dropped, and a
formal written warning would be given. For the most serious offenses, such as
stealing or intentionally damaging company property, officials would have
immediately to the severe step, immediate dismissal.

Individuals responsibilities to the organization
Introduction:
Responsibility means the obligation to carry out duties and achieve goals related
to a position. The superior should be held responsible for the act of his
subordinates. Responsibilities cannot be delegated.
A discussion of the individual in the organization is incomplete if it covers only
the organization's impositions on and obligation to the individual. The
employment relation is 2 way-the organization has responsibilities to the
individual and again without question- the individual has responsibilities to the
organization.
Individual Responsibilities

with accurate and complete information about your present complaints past
illnesses, hospitalization, medications, and other matters relating to your health.
They must report perceived risks in your care and unexpected changes in their
condition.
Ask questions. It is ones responsibility to ask questions when they do not
understand their care or what they are expected to do.
Follow instructions. They must follow the plan of care that is developed for
them and should express any concerns about their ability to follow the plan of
care.

they do not follow the plan of care.
