Discipline means
systematically conducting the business by the organizational members who
strictly adhere to the essential rules and regulations. These
employees/organizational members work together as a team so as to achieve
organizational mission as well as vision and they truly understand that the
individual and group aims and desires must be matched so as to ensure organizational
success.
A
disciplined employee will be organized and an organized employee will be
disciplined always. Employee behavior is the base of discipline in an
organization. Discipline implies confirming with the code of conduct
established by the organization. Discipline in an organization ensures
productivity and efficiency. It encourages harmony and co-operation among
employees as well as acts as a morale booster for the employees. In absence of
discipline, there will be chaos, confusion, corruption and disobedience in an
organization.
In short,
discipline implies obedience, orderliness and maintenance of proper
subordination among employees. Work recognition, fair and equitable treatment
of employees, appropriate salary structure, effective grievance handling and
job-security all contribute to organizational discipline.
