A Model of Discipline in Organizational Settings.

Abstract

The report details the results of the first phase of a large scale research study investigating discipline and the effects of discipline in a large Southeastern Oil Refinery. The fifty seven interviews were conducted with hourly maintenance and operating employees. Based on these employees' descriptions of the discipline process and how it works, a preliminary model was developed. Variables associated with the employee, the disciplinary agent, the situation, and the refinery complex as a system were specified as being potentially influenced in the disciplinary process.
