About this book
Providing insight into the currently applied models, basic definitions and functions of work discipline systems within organisations, this book analyses the risks, limitations and the potential of developing organisational discipline structures. It examines various examples and manifestations of unethical and criminal behaviour in the workplace and places special emphasis on informal punishment structures and the conditions under which they occur. Difficult topics are tackled including sabotage, theft, bullying, financial fraud, sexual harrassment and blackmail. Assessing the effectiveness of work discipline systems upon organisational behaviour, this innovative book offers practical solutions for managers, as well as new approaches for those studying human resource management.
Reviews
“This well-written monograph provides coverage of many important issues, including discipline, control and punishment. It is unique in that it links theory and practice. In this book, the models of discipline, self-disciplineand organisations without bosses are described. All readers will find much to stimulate their thinking, especially when reading about the methods of behaviour modification.” (Joanna Paliszkiewicz, Professor of management, Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Poland and Adjunct Professor, University of Vaasa, Finland)
