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.
