Management
Discipline..??
• Discipli e is the orderly conduct of affairs by the
members of an organization, who adhere
harmoniously in forwarding towards the end which
the group has in view, and willingly recognize that
1. Factual: When an employee is dissatisfied with his job, for genuine or factual
reasons like a breach of terms of employment or any other reasons that are clearly
attributed to the management, he is said to have a factual grievance. Thus, factual
grievances arise when the legitimate needs are unfulfilled. The problem that he has
is real and not virtual.
3. Disguised: An employee may have dissatisfaction for reasons that are unknown
to himself. This may be because of pressures and frustrations that an employee is
feeling from other sources like his personal life. I am sure you will agree that if
you have fought at home and come to the institute, you cannot concentrate in the
class.
Identifying Grievances :
• Exit interview: Employees usually quit organizations due to dissatisfaction
or better prospects elsewhere. Exit interviews, if conducted carefully, can
provide important information about e ployees’ grievances.
• Gripe Boxes: These are boxes in which the employees can drop their
anonymous complaints. These gripe boxes can perform the role of critics
for the organisation. The management should carefully act upon the
information thus gathered.
