Discipline means obedience that is carrying at the task allotted to you by your senior. It balso means observance of the declared rules of the organisation.
In fact Fayol in his communication about the principles of management had emphasized about the sense of discipline and its necessity among the employee of the organisation. Emphasis was also laid on the importance of supervisors or manager following the discipline so that same can serve as an example.
In this context the organisation manager should ensure:
1. Clear explanation of the rules.
2. Effective supervision which shouldn’t be an interference.
3. Revised system on better obedience.
4. Possible provision for penalty.
Some employees inherently possess this quality while some others need to be guided & motivated to develop discipline.
Top level managers and officers are responsible in developing discipline in the organisation. They need to set an example by following the rules themselves.
