ii) How will society treat an indisciplined person?
Answers
Answer:
1. Lack of Proper Leadership:
People are to be motivated, inspired and prepared to conform to rules and regulations and behave accordingly. This can be effectively done by leaders whether it is managerial leadership or union leadership. Ineffective leadership leads to indiscipline because they fail to motivate and control the bahaviour of the employees. They cannot seek their cooperation in achieving organisational objectives.
2. Lack of Supervision:Lack of proper supervision can create problems. Maintaining discipline and controlling the behaviour of the employees and forcing them to follow rules and regulations is the supervisory responsibility. Lack of effective supervision will promote indiscipline.
3. Violation of Rights of Employees.
Employees are human beings. They are treated as human resources. As human beings employees have certain rights which should not be violated in any case. Some of these rights are, they must be treated with respect, they should be allowed to express themselves or raise their voice, right to contribute to the best of their abilities, right to justice, right to security of service, right for self development etc. If these rights are violated and they are suppressed they will feel dissatisfied. Discontent will prevail which will lead to gross indiscipline.
4. Absence of Grievance Settlement Machinery:
Grievances of the employees should be redressed quickly at the lowest level as far as possible. Settlement should not be postponed. Effective grievance settlement machinery should be set up to resolve the disputes otherwise indiscipline will result.
5. Lack of Proper Promotional Policy:
Every employee has an inspiration to rise. If his claim in promotion is set aside and his junior and inefficient is given promotion he feel discontented. This will provoke him for revolt and he will behave in indisciplined manner.
Preventive Measures
For disciplining employees certain measures based on principles have to be adopted for cordial atmosphere at the workplace. The measures adopted for maintaining discipline should be fair, equitable and acceptable both to employees and employers.
The following are some of the measures taken for maintaining discipline at the workplace:
1. The rules and regulations for maintaining discipline should be framed in consultation with the employees’ representatives.
2. Employees should be given a chance to improve their behaviour. The past offences as far as possible be condoned after some time.
3. Rules should be made known to employees and they should be reminded of those rules after regular intervals.
4. Rules should not be made rigid but they should change with time and changes in the working conditions.
5. There should be uniformity in application of rules. Everybody should be treated equally before
6. Breach of rules by any employee should not be allowed and rules breakers should be dealt with firmly.
7. It should be remembered that the aim of rules is to prevent indiscipline and not to cause harassment to the employees.
8. The offences of grave concern should be dealt with firmly by appointing a committee to enquire thoroughly in the matter. The committee should be un-bias in its dealings.
9. There must be a provision for appeal and disciplinary action taken should be reviewed if required.
These are the measures that can prevent indiscipline and help in maintaining discipline.
