The Impact of Employee Discipline on Organization Performance

Abstract

A company's efficiency and productivity are both guaranteed by its level of discipline. Among the workforce, it not only boosts morale but also promotes harmony and collaboration, which is a significant benefit. The study investigates the impact that proper staff discipline has on the overall functioning of a company, with a particular emphasis on Polytechnic Ibadan. Based on the findings of the research, it was determined that an effective system of discipline is beneficial to the performance of an organisation. This is due to the fact that it functions as a useful instrument to enhance employee performance and steer employee behaviour towards the achievement of organisational objectives. An additional finding made by the researchers was that when disciplinary actions are successful, employees are more inclined to adhere to the policies of the organisation. The study discovered a link between disciplinary measures and improved corporate performance. An effective disciplinary system is often a wonderful strategy to encourage productive staff performance, and the research demonstrated that this association exists. Employee motivation in a company may be increased by the implementation of a disciplinary system. This is because severe staff indiscipline has a detrimental effect on output. Therefore, as a consequence of discipline, workers would be encouraged to do their jobs more effectively and would be more dedicated to the organisation. A number of factors, including ethnicity, nepotism, corruption, political connection, interfering, favouritism, and the patronage system, were identified as the key factors that are adverse to an effective disciplinary system in public organisations, according to the results of the research. As a consequence of this, the production of the public sector will suffer as a consequence of the lowered harshness of sanctions meted out to those staff who have behaved inappropriately.
