1. A Study on Effective Employee Discipline Management in Organizations

SUPRIYA CHOUDHARY1

, VIPASHA RANA2

Nov 2022

‘Discipline is a force that prompts individuals or groups to observe rules, regulations and

procedures which are deemed to be necessary for the effective functioning of an organization’.

-Calhoon

Discipline is considered as an important factor that contributes to the overall outcome in an

organization.

The organization should take proper measures to maintain discipline. The rules framed should

to inform

to all the workers or employees in the organization. The employees who fail to follow the rules

have to be

monitored and called for counseling they have to be informed about their mistake. Even after if

he doesn’t

correct his mistakes he will be given punishment. Proper guidelines and flow of communication

helps to

maintain a good discipline. There can a discipline manager in an organization to monitor the

employees

discipline and to deal with employee’s indiscipline. The study concludes that an organization

2
cannot be

effective towards achieving its predetermined goals if employees are not in compliance with

the laid down

rules and policies. In line with the findings, the

following recommendations were proffered:

1. Management should attend swiftly to the yearnings

and grievances of its staff. Management should try as much as possible to create opportunities

that

would meet the needs of their staff. This would go a long way to spur oneness and adherence

of rules and requirements.

2. Employees, especially those at the junior position, should be adequately monitored.

Moreover, the management of an organization should ensure that credible and qualified

personnel are admitted to the service.

3. Sanctions should be imposed on employees found violating the established rules. However,

sanctions should follow a sequential path from oral reprimand, to query letter, suspension, and

dismissal. Sanctions should be imposed fairly and justly.

4. Critical matters relating to transfer, promotion, placement, etc., should follow due process.

Issues

like these should be handled with merit

Research on employee misconduct has increasingly adopted behavioral measures in field

settings, such as archival organizational records, to circumvent potential issues of external

validity and social desirability associated with laboratory experiments and self-reported surveys.

However, similar to the issues facing the criminal justice and education systems, where racial

disparities in punishment are well-documented, organizations face a difficult challenge in

detecting and enforcing misconduct. Even when organizations adopt seemingly objective.

4. DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS AND PROCEDURES AT WORKPLACE: THE ROLE

OF HR MANAGERS.

UGO CHUKS OKOLIE, IDONGESIT DAVID UDOM

Journal of Economics & Management Research, 2019

Organisational discipline arises out of the need for management to be able to control the conduct

of employees and to re-direct their energies towards the attainment of corporate mission and

objectives. Discipline is management action that encourages and ensures compliance with laid-

down rules and regulations, governing the smooth operation of an organisation. It is

management’s responsibility to develop and maintain effective discipline within the

organisation. As in most peoples’ management functions, HR managers have an extremely

important role to play in the design and implementation of disciplinary procedures that are fair

to all, and that cases of discipline are dealt with in accordance with the organisation’s laid-down

procedures. For the purpose of this article, reinforcement theory attributed to Skinner (1974),

form the theoretical framework for this article. This article examines the nature of discipline, the

causes of disciplinary action, the importance of disciplinary procedures and the role of HR

managers in discipline handling. The article further takes a peep into the impact of objective

disciplinary measures on employees’ performance. The article therefore, concludes that for

discipline to be a means of correcting or punishing misdeed in an organisation, management

must learn to maintain discipline by applying standards in a consistent, fair and flexible manner.

5. Organizational disciplinary actions as socio-political processes in public

5
 organizations

Gedion Onyango

Public Organization Review 19 (2), 227-248, 2019

Political citizenry and environments of public organizations complement ambiguous

organizational justice processes to render enforcement of disciplinary action intractable, anarchic

and ineffective. It is advanced that concerns with organizational compliance and subsequent

administrative behaviors rather stem more from informal than bureaucratic processes.

Administrators only engage with the latter on occasions of social-political dramas or in

pursuance of organizational justice. Otherwise, enforcement of disciplinary practices largely

bear informally negotiated and uncertain outcomes or motivated by such kind of disagreements,

while similarly somehow constrained by bureaucratic ethos. Thus, organizational discipline is

founded on bureaucratic processes largely subordinated into informal and politicized

relationships.

6. Bringing civil servants to liability for disciplinary misconduct in judicial practice of

Ukraine, Poland, Bulgaria and Czech Republic

Olena Lutsenko

Journal of Advanced Research in Law and Economics (JARLE) 8 (23), 103-112, 2017

A discipline of public servants within an organization requires four characteristics: a number of

disciplinary offences, proportionate punishments clearly linked to the disciplinary offences,

oversight and appeals from disciplinary decisions, and independence from politicians. This
6
paper examines public sector legislation in Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria

to show the peculiarities of legal regulation of each of these criteria. We argue – a claim that

creation of arbitrary powers to punish or dismiss staff is unjust if the legislation does not fully

inform staff of what a breach of discipline constitutes, if it does not guarantee proportionate

punishments to offences, and/or allow the disciplinary process to be used as a tool to coerce

staff to perform in a politicized or otherwise unethical manner. In the article all four criteria are

disclosed by comparative analysis with certain EU members (Poland, Bulgaria, Czech

Republic). Intermediate and key conclusion about the peculiarities of bringing civil servants to

disciplinary liability in Ukraine, Poland, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic and some

recommendations are made on the basis of the comparative study.

7. Effects of discipline management on employee performance in an organization: The

case of county education office human resource department, Turkana County

Ekakoron Anthony Apalia

International Academic Journal of Human Resource and Business Administration 2 (3), 1-18,

2017

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of disciplinary management on employee

performance in County Education Office of Turkana County. Specifically the study aimed; to

determine the effects of code of discipline on performance, to determine the effects of

disciplinary procedures on performance, to determine the effects of discipline systems on

performance and to assess the effects of disciplinary actions on performance. The study was

conducted using a case study design. The target population for this study was employees from

the county education office in Lodwar which composed a total population of 171 employees.

The study sample comprised 1 (one) District Education Officer, 4 (four) departmental managers

7
 and 166 (one hundred and sixteen) employees in the education office reflecting the ratio in the

county office accessible sample staff size. The study employed purposive, stratified and simple

random sampling techniques. Primary data was collected with the help of a questionnaire.

Quantitative and qualitative data analytical techniques were used. Quantitative data from

questionnaires were coded and summarized using descriptive statistics, measures of variability,

frequency distributions and percentages. They thereafter analyzed using Statistical Package for

Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Data was tested for significance using regression. Test for

significance was done using the Pearson product-moment of correlation coefficient. The study

found out that, respondents agreed that there was increase on employees’ knowledge;

respondents agreed that disciplinary management led to promotion of employees. The study

also found out that, majority of the respondents rated employee performance, remuneration

first, work environment and management commitment as first factors that that affect employee

performance also majority rated motivation, tools, equipment and other resources second. The

study also concludes that the effective disciplinary policy County Education Office Human

Resource Department in Turkana County are effective in that the organization has helped in

controlling employee’s behavior by ensuring there is teamwork and cohesion in the

organization. The study also recommends that although disciplinary policy are important in

bringing sanity to the organisation, the government should seek to address the pertinent issues

like complex disciplinary regime that has impeded employee performance in the country.

Human resource management could utilise the recommended guidelines for more effective

application of discipline in organisations.

8. The Effectiveness and Consistency of Disciplinary Actions and Procedures within a

South African Organisation

Wilfred I. Ukpere

8
 2014

Discipline is a difficult aspect to deal with within organisations, especially because of the human

element that is involved in its application and the subsequent procedures and outcomes. When

applied appropriately, it is a powerful tool to bring about change in employee behaviour, where

organisational goals can be realigned to individual goals for the benefit of both. As much as this

is true, the exact opposite can also cause substantial harm to a business. Leaders who do not

apply discipline consistently, do not follow organisational procedures, and use disciplinary

action for their own vengeful purposes, bring about an unhealthy work environment where

employees are dissatisfied and demotivated in their jobs. This is visible within the case

organisation, where a large majority of employees surveyed feel that some employees are treated

more harshly than others, while some employees enjoy preferential treatment regarding

discipline within the business, as a result of leader’s stereotypes, bias and agendas. It was also

not surprising to find that leaders themselves felt exactly the opposite way: that they actually

follow disciplinary procedures to the last detail and treat all employees in the same manner. The

viewpoint that carries more merit are those of ground level employees in the workplace, as

leaders biases and prejudices act as barriers to them actually seeing the impact of their actions

and behaviours on the work environment. Interventions and training is needed in the business so

that leaders can apply discipline fairly and consistently, overcome their biases and errors, and

employees to see the transparency and legitimacy of disciplinary action. This can lead to

improved employee morale and a healthier work environment for all within the organisation

9. Managerial perceptions on employee misconduct and ethics management strategies

in Thai organizations

Phongstorn Ermongkonchai

9
 International Journal of Business and Management 5 (8), 124, 2010

Of the recent trends in Corporate Social Responsibility within the business sector, the ethical

conduct of employees is one of the most challenging tasks facing organizations. Based on the

theoretical framework of agency theory and psychological contract theory, exploratory research

was conducted among 229 managers to identify the reasons behind employee misconduct in

Thailand. The findings reveal that agency theory was the dominating theory explaining the

reasons behind serious unethical behavior by employees. The results indicate that employees

committed acts of misconduct because of greed, financial benefits, or other individual

motivations. As regards the ethics management approach adopted by organizations, it was found

that companies are employing compliance strategy with other various tactics to improve

corporate governance. In order to improve compliance, it is recommended for companies to

improve management control system to minimize wrongdoing and to be responsive to

misconduct incidents. Organization development can be improved by fostering desired corporate

culture, religious and philosophical beliefs.

realities of finite resources and temporal constraints necessitate prudent choices. This may

result in certain perspectives, variations in policies, or individual experiences remaining beyond

the scope of our analysis. However, it is within these limitations that we find the opportunity to

reflect on the nuances that make every organizational ecosystem unique.

The choice of convenience sampling, while expedient, reminds us that research findings are

context-dependent. Our sample, though thoughtfully selected, may not perfectly mirror the

mosaic of the entire employee population. Hence, the findings we derive should be considered

as illuminating specific facets of the organization rather than serving as universal truths. This

limitation compels us to advocate for the validation of our findings in diverse contexts and to

encourage further research that expands the scope of our understanding.

Qualitative data collection, particularly through employee interviews, introduces a layer of

complexity concerning social desirability bias. While we adopt measures to promote candid

responses, the potential for participants to provide answers aligned with perceived expectations

cannot be entirely eradicated. This reminds us of the nuanced relationship between participant

responses and the intricate tapestry of organizational culture and communication.

Temporal constraints serve as a reminder of the dynamic nature of organizations. Policies and

procedures evolve in response to shifting contexts and challenges. Our analysis, though

71
meticulous, is tethered to the policies and procedures existing within Jaypee Group during our

data collection phase. Thus, our findings may not capture the ripples of change that may have

occurred subsequent to our study.

The subjectivity inherent in qualitative data analysis underscores the interpretive nature of our

work. Researchers engaged in the manual analysis of textual data may arrive at slightly different

interpretations. However, it is within this subjectivity that the richness of qualitative research

resides, providing a wealth of perspectives that can illuminate the multifaceted nature of our

research questions.

External factors, beyond our control, emphasize the complexity of organizational dynamics.

Industry regulations, economic fluctuations, or unforeseen external events can exert influences

that ripple through the effectiveness of disciplinary policies. Our study, while attuned to these

possibilities, cannot entirely account for their unpredictable impact.

Our singular focus on Jaypee Group allows for an in-depth examination, yet it simultaneously

narrows the applicability of our findings to the specific context of this organization. The unique

organizational culture, industry niche, and structural intricacies of Jaypee Group may limit the

direct transferability of our insights to dissimilar settings. However, the depth of our analysis

offers a foundation for comparative studies and a rich source of insights for organizations facing

analogous challenges.

The quantitative aspect of our research, although comprehensive, remains subject to constraints.

The depth of quantitative analysis may be influenced by factors such as the response rate in

questionnaires or the scope of questions asked. Yet, this quantitative dimension enhances the

holistic nature of our research, providing complementary perspectives to the qualitative

72
findings.

Resource constraints, be they budgetary or temporal, resonate with the practical realities of

research. While we optimize resource allocation to maximize research efficiency, constraints

inevitably influence the extent of our data collection and analysis efforts. These constraints

remind us of the need for judicious prioritization and resource management.

Ethical considerations, though fundamental, introduce a layer of complexity. Balancing

transparency with the need to safeguard privacy and confidentiality is a delicate undertaking.

Our commitment to ethical data handling necessitates some restrictions on the depth of data

that can be shared publicly, emphasizing the paramount importance of respecting the rights and

trust of research participants.

Finally, the variability in response rates for questionnaires introduces a potential source of bias.

While we employ strategies to encourage participation, the fluctuating response rate may

impact the representativeness of the quantitative data.

In conclusion, the limitations we have meticulously dissected in this section are not hindrances

to our research; rather, they are essential signposts that guide our journey. They signify the

complexity and multifaceted nature of the research process. By candidly acknowledging these

limitations, we underscore the transparency and integrity of our study. Our research, while

conducted within these defined boundaries, remains a robust exploration of Jaypee Group's

disciplinary policies and their effectiveness. It provides invaluable insights that serve as a

foundation for further inquiry, refinement, and informed decision-making within the

organization and, indeed, across diverse organizational landscapes.

73
 Chapter 5: Data Analysis and

Interpretation

This section represents the heart of our research endeavor, where we navigate the intricate

landscape of data analysis and interpretation. Our approach combines the robustness of

quantitative analysis, based on a survey administered to 300 respondents using a 5-point Likert

questionnaire, with the depth of qualitative techniques to unearth a nuanced understanding of

Jaypee Group's disciplinary policies and their effectiveness.

Quantitative Data Analysis

Our journey into data analysis begins with the rich dataset obtained from the Likert

questionnaire, meticulously designed to gauge employee perceptions regarding disciplinary

policies and procedures within Jaypee Group. Our quantitative analysis is structured to provide

comprehensive insights and includes the following elements:

Descriptive Statistics

To commence our quantitative analysis, we start with descriptive statistics. These measures,

including mean, median, mode, and standard deviation, offer a comprehensive overview of the

central tendencies and distributions of responses. Descriptive statistics serve as the initial lens

through which we view the data, allowing us to discern trends, central tendencies, and the

spread of responses. It forms the foundation upon which we build our interpretations.
74
Correlation Analysis

A pivotal aspect of our quantitative analysis involves correlation analysis. This step is vital for

understanding the relationships and associations between different variables in our

questionnaire. We explore whether there are statistically significant correlations between

variables, such as employee satisfaction and the perceived effectiveness of disciplinary

procedures. The identification of these correlations unveils the complex interplay between

different factors within the organization and can guide our understanding of the policies' impact.

Hypothesis Testing

In alignment with our research objectives, we employ hypothesis testing to examine specific

hypotheses related to employee perceptions and the effectiveness of disciplinary policies. By

utilizing statistical methods such as t-tests or ANOVA, we rigorously assess whether there are

statistically significant differences in responses across various employee groups or concerning

specific organizational variables. Hypothesis testing adds a layer of depth to our analysis,

allowing us to make robust inferences about the effectiveness of policies and the factors that

influence them.

Qualitative Data Analysis

Complementing our quantitative analysis is the qualitative dimension of our research. This

qualitative data, drawn from in-depth interviews with employees, unveils a treasure trove of

narratives and insights. Our qualitative analysis is grounded in the principles of thematic

75
analysis, enabling us to uncover recurring themes, patterns, and nuanced perspectives within

the interview transcripts:

Thematic Coding

Qualitative analysis commences with the meticulous process of thematic coding. Researchers

engage in a thorough review of interview transcripts, systematically identifying recurring

themes and concepts related to disciplinary policies. This initial phase enables us to create a

structured framework for organizing and categorizing qualitative data, ensuring a systematic

exploration of the depth of employee experiences.

Narrative Analysis

Our qualitative analysis extends beyond mere coding. We delve into the narratives provided by

employees, immersing ourselves in their stories and perspectives. Narrative analysis illuminates

the human aspect of our research, shedding light on the lived experiences and individual

viewpoints that quantitative data may not fully capture. These narratives provide a rich,

contextually grounded understanding of how disciplinary policies intersect with the day-to-day

experiences of employees.

Triangulation

To enhance the validity and reliability of our qualitative findings, we employ a technique known

as triangulation. This involves cross-referencing qualitative insights with quantitative data,

ensuring that our interpretations are firmly grounded in a comprehensive understanding of

76
employee perspectives. Triangulation allows us to harmonize the depth of qualitative insights

with the breadth of quantitative data, providing a holistic view of our research findings.

Integration of Quantitative and Qualitative Insights

Our research design is inherently integrative, recognizing the value of both quantitative and

qualitative data. By merging insights from the Likert questionnaire and qualitative interviews,

we construct a comprehensive narrative that not only quantifies employee sentiment but also

elucidates the underlying narratives and motivations. This integration ensures that our findings

resonate across multiple dimensions and capture the intricacies of employee perceptions and

organizational policies.

Interpretation of Findings

The interpretation of our findings is a nuanced endeavor that transcends the realm of numbers

and narratives. It involves deciphering the implications of our results in the context of our

research objectives. Our interpretation seeks to address critical questions:

- What do the quantitative survey results reveal about employee perceptions of disciplinary

policies?

- How do the qualitative narratives enrich our understanding of the organizational culture

surrounding discipline?

- Are there actionable insights that can guide Jaypee Group in refining its disciplinary policies

and procedures?

77
Our interpretations are grounded in both the statistical significance of quantitative findings and

the thematic richness of qualitative insights. They serve as the bridge between raw data and

actionable recommendations, facilitating a deeper understanding of the disciplinary dynamics

within Jaypee Group.

Conclusion

As we traverse this intricate landscape of data analysis and interpretation, we acknowledge the

significance of each data point, narrative, and statistic that shapes our research narrative. Our

comprehensive approach, seamlessly blending quantitative rigor with qualitative depth,

empowers us to offer nuanced insights into Jaypee Group's disciplinary policies and their

effectiveness in addressing misconduct. These insights, backed by the voices and perspectives

of employees, will serve as a robust foundation for evidence-based recommendations and

actionable steps to enhance the organization's approach to disciplinary actions.

78
 Chapter 6: Findings

these policies as a necessary component of the workplace. They perceive them as functional
87
tools to ensure fairness, accountability, and adherence to ethical standards.

- Balanced Perspectives: While not overwhelmingly enthusiastic, employees do not

express significant discontentment or grievances with the policies. They recognize the efforts

of the organization in establishing a framework to address misconduct and believe that, on the

whole, these policies are in line with industry norms.

-Room for Enhancement: Within this "moderate" satisfaction framework, there is also a

recognition that there is room for improvement. Employees have conveyed feedback on aspects

that could enhance their satisfaction further. This includes the desire for more comprehensive

training on the policies, a streamlined and easily accessible reporting process, and a consistent

approach to disciplinary actions.

Factors Influencing Satisfaction

To comprehend this "moderate" level of satisfaction more deeply, it is essential to consider the

factors that influence employee sentiments towards these policies:

-Clarity and Transparency: Employees appreciate the clarity and transparency

embedded in the policies. Clear communication of expectations, consequences, and reporting

mechanisms contributes to their acceptance of the policies.

- Trust in Reporting: A critical element influencing satisfaction is the trust employees have

in the reporting mechanisms. They believe that when misconduct occurs, their reports will be

taken seriously and addressed appropriately.

88
-Perceived Fairness: The perception of fairness in the policies and the consistent

application of consequences contribute to employee satisfaction. When employees observe that

actions are taken equitably, it bolsters their confidence in the policies.

- Organizational Culture: The prevailing organizational culture, emphasizing ethical

conduct and respectful interactions, plays a significant role in shaping employee satisfaction. A

culture that aligns with the principles outlined in the policies reinforces their acceptance.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our investigation into employee satisfaction with disciplinary policies has

revealed a nuanced landscape. Employees harbor a "moderate" level of satisfaction with the

policies in place for addressing misconduct by employees. While not exuberant, this satisfaction

underscores an organizational culture that values ethics, fairness, and transparency.

This "moderate" level of approval is not indicative of significant dissatisfaction; rather, it

reflects the organization's efforts to maintain functional policies that meet the basic

requirements of maintaining a respectful and accountable workplace. It also provides a

foundation for continuous improvement, with employees signaling their openness to

enhancements in training, reporting mechanisms, and consistency.

As we proceed in our exploration of the research findings, we will delve into the specific

insights gathered from employees, providing a comprehensive understanding of their

sentiments and recommendations for refining the disciplinary policies further.
