SUGGESTIONS FOR MAINTAINING DISCIPLINE IN INDIAN INDUSTRIES
The problem of indiscipline in an industrial enterprise is a serious problem, which should be removed as soon as possible. The causes of indiscipline should be removed, and favourable conditions should be created in which the employees may continue their efforts towards the achievement of the organisational objectives.
Following are some suggestions to maintain discipline in Indian industries:
1. Clarity of Objects:
Objects of the enterprise must be very much specific and clear. These objectives should be clearly communicated to all the employees so that they may contribute their efforts in achieving these objectives.
2. Specific determination of duties and responsibilities:
An important step to maintaining discipline in an industrial organisation is that the duties, rights and responsibilities of all the employees should be clearly and specifically defined and defined. These duties and responsibilities should be clearly communicated to all the concerned employees so that they may concentrate their efforts to achieve the objectives of their duties.
3. Well-defined code of discipline:
Another very important suggestion for maintaining discipline in an industrial organisation is that there should be a well-defined code of discipline. The rules, regulations, systems and procedures of the enterprise should be clearly defined and communicated to all the employees so that they may realise the limitations of their activities.
4. Effective Communication:
An effective system of communication also helps in maintaining discipline in an enterprise. The problems, difficulties and grievances of all the employees should be communicated to the concerned authorities and the orders and directions of managers and supervisors should be communicated to the concerned employees.
5. Effective Leadership:
Effective Leadership is very helpful in developing the feeling of faith and integrity among the employees in their job and the organisation. Therefore, the employees should get effective leadership in the organisation. The supervisors who lead the employees must be honest, impartial and loyal to their duties so that they may get inspired to achieve better results.
6. Adequate Training Facilities:
Adequate-training facilities should be provided to the employees so that they may learn the best technique for doing their work.
7. Discipline Committee:
A discipline committee should be set up in the organisation and all the problems of indiscipline should be referred to this committee so that an unbiased judgement may be ensured.
8. Participation of Workers in Management:
The workers should be given opportunities to participate in management. The form of such participation may be determined according to the needs and requirements of the enterprise. Participation of workers in the management develops a sense of responsibility among them.
9. Provision of Reward and Punishment:
There should be a provision of both, the reward and punishment. Efficient employees should be rewarded and inefficient employees should be punished so that employees may work in an atmosphere of discipline.
10. Other Measures:
The following measures should also be adopted in an enterprise to maintain discipline-
(i) The policy of promotion should be impartial and strict.
(ii) The success and accomplishments of employees should be well recognised
(iii) Due recognition should be given to labour unions
