Elaborate on Principles for Maintenance of Discipline

The Maintenance of discipline have been outlined by Yoder. Henman, Turnball and Harold Stone. These are:-

1. As far as possible, all the rules should be framed in co-operation and collaboration with the representatives of employees. If the latter have a share in formulating them, will be much more likely to observe them.

2. All this rules should be appraised at frequent and regular intervals to ensure that they are, and continue to be, appropriate sensible and useful.

3. rules should vary with changes in the working conditions of employees. Those framed for office employees, for example, may very well be different from those that are formulated for workers in an industrial concern.

4. Rules should be uniformly enforced if they are to be effective. They must be applied without exception and without bending them or ignoring them in favour of any one worker.

5. A disciplinary policy should have as its objective the prevention of any infringement rather than the simple administration of penalties, however just: It should be preventive rather than punitive.

6. Recidivism must be expected. Some offenders would almost certainly violate rules more often than others. These cases should be carefully considered so that their causes may be discovered.

7. Define and precise provisions for appeal and review of all disciplinary actions should be expressly mentioned in the employees handbook for collective agreements.
