While managers must discipline employees for organizational behaviors from time to time, what are some of the challenges one faces; and what type of plan of action can one implement to put an end to the issues being presented. So, what is discipline, it’s a way for manager to instill learning, by helping one to improve their behavior; through that of corrective actions. Although, discipline has been classified as being harsh and unjustifiable towards employees not meeting company standards, and can be avoidable, others feel its beneficial in helping to improve one’s behavior through that of using corrective actions; instead of punishing them for their mistakes. However, for this concept to be the best alternative, managers need to approach the situation head on and quickly for it to be …show more content…
But unfortunately, sometimes they have no choice, and a plan of action is implemented and monitored to meet ones’ expectations; while being document throughout the whole process.
Although, “many managers employ a form of progressive discipline, an approach that follows the philosophy that the severity of disciplinary measures requiring some degree of punishment should increase each time an employee must be disciplined” (Drafke, 2009, pg. 323). But this is necessarily true for every company, because some manager refuse to use punishment as their first alternative, in fact they would rather find other way of handling problems such as Quintin’s inability to be at work as scheduled; and to perform to the best of his abilities. That why my plan of action as his supervisor would be to call him into my office, and ask him what is going on; allowing him to explain his actions for his behavior. Then, after hearing him out I’d inform him of our company policies and procedures, while explaining the disciplinary guidelines of
For me, these are some of the hardest questions to answer, because in my opinion you can’t control someone’s social or emotional behavior in the attempt to facilitate an open learning environment. However, you can provide alternative avenues within the classroom for students to achieve academic success. I refer back to the current Conscious Discipline by Becky Bailey in that for a student to learn they must be open to information or positioned in their “frontal lobe”. When a student is in the defensive/fight flight mode, learning is practically, if not, impossible. With that said, you must keep an open mind that social behavior becomes a “status” pro-quo in that a student is always trying to position themselves in the classroom hierarchy and
This is where the employer might implement actions on the employee for not carrying out their work to the highest of standards, they might dock their pay or take disciplinary action. (Redmond 2014).
Ms. Davis had just finished setting up her classroom for the new school year. This would be her second year teaching at Southern Maryland Elementary School. Last year she had problems getting the children to listen to her and cooperate. The current school disciplinary method was different in each classroom. After a teacher felt that he or she could not handle a student anymore, they would be sent to the principal's office. For serious offenses, the student would be suspended or even expelled. She did not want the same thing to happen this year because she felt that it wasn't helpful. She decided to research different disciplinary methods so she could decide which one would work best for her. Many elementary teachers have the same problem as Ms. Davis. What are the options for teachers who want a successful discipline method in their classroom?
In different industries, there are companies that operate for a purpose, but the bottom line is the management style between supervisors and subordinate can break or make an organization. Organizations and businesses have to run their management a certain way in order to motivate their employees. The main type of organization management is the Classical Theory which contains Theory X. There are five key employee conflict management styles. Building relationships between employees and managers is crucial for an organization to function and execute their purpose whether it is to provide a service or product. Both theories and conflict strategies were present in the film “Office Space” to demonstrate the negatives of corrupt management and ongoing conflicts which were not resolved that led to destruction.
Personnel problems often have a way of leaking into your employees’ work lives. People are often distracted by the things that affect them outside of the workplace. This causes the individual to lose focus on the important things such as getting the responsible assignments done. Difficult people in the workplace come in every conceivable variety. These coworkers would talk constantly, and never listen. Some just have to have the last word; they criticize and compete with you for power, privileges, and the spotlight. Disciplining employees is a necessary matter in each organization. Effective discipline can help to correct employee behavioral issues and can increase productivity.
The responsibilities that it has specified in plans have not been completely met but significant
Planning – Employees must plan the use of their time and resources. There are many ‘tools’ available to help with this from simple daily ‘To Do’ lists to more long-term Action Plans or Development Plans. (These will be explained in more detail later).
Student discipline is affected by classroom management. The way in which a teacher manages his/her classroom delineates the type of instruction that will take place in the classroom. A classroom in which the teacher takes total responsibility for guiding students’ actions comprises a different learning environment than one in which students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own actions (Evertson, 2003). Many schools are reluctant to hold students accountable for their own actions. The education establishment warns teachers that they will be placing themselves in a questionable role if they emphasize rules, punish bad behavior, and reward good conduct (Bennett, et. al., 1999). Teachers need to create a learning environment in which students are encouraged to do their best and therefore, motivated to work to their highest potential. Teachers need to also set expectations and maintain the learning environment they have developed. Even in effectively managed classrooms, however, problems may occur.
When discipline is used correctly it can help guide somebody develop socially acceptable patterns of behavior. Discipline also teaches people about their mistakes, how to problem solve, and deal with their emotions in a correct way. Punishment is when the person who gives out the discipline, feels like the one being discipline has given a negative response to the discipline. Punishment c...
Plan of action: my plan is to stick to the plan and not let anything get in my way of changing what I am trying to achieve.
Lack of discipline starts by letting a Soldier off, or slide on what would be a minor infraction
According to C.M. Charles, the author of "Building Classroom Discipline," the definition of discipline is, "what teachers do to help students behave acceptably in school (1999,p3)." Discipline is associated to misbehavior, wherever misbehavior is found, and discipline is needed. The main goals of discipline are to prevent, suppress and redirect misbehavior. Students can also be cruel and disruptive, which can deny the purpose of learning in the classroom. Another goal of discipline is to help students control their own behavior in and outside the classroom (Charles, 1999). My own definition of discipline is using any means necessary to keep a classroom organized, productive and accessible for learning. Discipline is necessary in a classroom, to give students an opportunity to learn to there fullest. Without discipline, the classroom would be a place where teachers could not perform their job but a place for them to baby-sit misbehaved children.
The question posed in the survey dealt with the employee’s perception on whose responsibility it is for discipline issues, and collaboration on discipline responsibilities. The analysis of the results in response to the question revealed a strong belief among staff members( 80 % or 4/5 members) that each of them are sure of their responsibilities they have and what the responsibilities of other staff members are when dealing with discipline issues. Staff member feel that they are able to have discussions with other staff members and the administration regarding discipline concerns and that their input is valued. The Staff faculty view determining discipline responsibilities as both individual and as a team and feel that the environment is conducive for interaction among staff and administration in discussing individual and group discipline responsibilities. Staff members felt supported by other staff members and the administration in application of discipline in both their classrooms as well as in the school commons. 1/5 (20%) of the staff still feel somewhat confused in the responsibilities of staff in school wide discipline issues. The main comment that the respondent shared dealt with legal issues of who to call; the police or resource officer when they had to handle a smoking on campus issue with an eighteen old senior. Overall, the staff feels they are able to develop and handle discipline policies and responsibilities with little assistance from the administrator. On a positive note, the administration has enabled the staff to come up with individual and group discipline responsibilities and supports their beliefs. In Kathleen Cotton’s article, “Schoolwide and Classroom Discipline” the author discusses that effective school leaders delegate the discipline authority to teachers so they feel empowered
There are various challenges faced and even more opportunities for organizational behavior to assist workers in improving the workplace as a whole, people skills, productivity, and customer service. Understanding and taking time to learn and educate one’s self is how attitudes develop and affect behavior is a key component to organizational Behavior. The bottom line is that the more tuned into the needs of its employees, the more successful a company is likely to become. A company will absolutely benefit a great deal so long as employees and management alike are able to control and monitor their attitudes for the appropriate
Of course, classroom management also includes discipline and corrective methods. In my situation, I feel that giving students behavioral boundaries and setting high behavioral
