...Progressive Discipline Dameian Donnell Barnes Central Michigan University Abstract In the Military the broad objective of discipline is to motivate employees to conform to acceptable standards of conduct and to prevent prohibited activities. Discipline is a part of the daily responsibility of supervisors and not merely the action taken at times when an employee deviates from accept-able forms of conduct. The supervisor's most effective means of maintaining discipline is through the promotion of cooperation, of sustained good working relationships, and of the self-discipline and responsible performance expected of mature employees. Progressive discipline is a process for dealing with job-related behavior that does not meet expected and communicated performance standards. The primary purpose for progressive discipline is to assist the employee to understand that a performance problem or opportunity for improvement exists. The process features increasingly formal efforts to provide feedback to the employee so he or she can correct the problem. The goal of progressive discipline is to improve employee performance. Whether you are a civilian supervisor or leader of Soldiers, we can always do more to prepare our employee or Soldiers for success and the core to that is progressive discipline. “Even when the standards for performance and behavior on the job are clearly communicated, most managers find themselves dealing with a problem employee at some point in...

...deciding the amount of force or sometimes lethal force when handling suspects. Police Brutality though it may not be a large predicament it should be viewed by both the police and the community. Police brutality is a hypocrisy, we are taught at a young age to believe that police officers are here to protect us from harm and keep us safe, not to harm us and cause us to fear them more than we do the criminals they are supposed to protect us from. We need to make sure police officers are properly trained so they are not resorting to violence when it is not needed and to make sure that they do not abuse their power. What upsets me the most is that in most cases of police brutality the officers or officer involved often receive minimal or no punishment and quite often repeat the offense. The police and even some public officials treat most cases of police brutality with denials or...

...development is based on how disciplined they are. In order for this to be accomplished their behaviour has to be altered. Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning encourages reinforcement which can be utilized in the classroom environment to acquire desirable behaviour from students and deter unwanted behaviour. Skinner (1953) asserts that “Operant conditioning can be described as a process that attempts to modify behaviour through the use of positive and negative reinforcements. Through operant conditioning an individual makes an association between a particular behaviour and consequence.” This theory is applicable in the conventional learning situation since it is tool educators can utilize to manage the classroom effectively and shape skill performance by pairing behaviours with rewards and punishment, even though it might have its limitations. Operant conditioning theory is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishment of behaviour. Edward Thorndike was the first to relate this in his psychological principle of Law and Effect. It stated that “any behaviour that is followed by pleasant consequences is likely to be repeated, and any behaviour followed by an unpleasant consequence is likely to be stopped.”(Thorndike,1998). Being mesmerized by Thorndike’s idea Skinner became the pioneer of operant conditioning theory. He theorized that “if a behaviour is followed by reinforcement, the behaviour will be repeated but if followed by punishment the behaviour will...

...Discipline and Discharge Esteban Estrada American Military University Virginia Abstract Discipline, in the context of a work place, can be defined as the act of implementing acceptable behavior in wayward employees to create a comfortable working environment. Discharge of an employee means to dismiss him or her from their job. The discipline and discharge of employees tends to be a thorny issue at any work place. No person really wants to be told they are wrong or that they are lagging behind in their work that they do not show team spirit or are rude to colleagues and disrespectful to those in charge. Just as there are guidelines on how to handle other issues that may arise at work, there are also guidelines on how to discipline and discharge employees. Though they are generally tenacious duties to carry out, with the right approach, it can be done without leaving one feeling like the offender. Keywords: Discipline, Discharge, Ethics Discipline and Discharge There are two approaches that can be taken toward employee discipline, that of being lax on the rules without clearly outlining what they are to create a freer atmosphere or that of letting employees knows all the rules and the penalties for violating them. Though management can argue that outlining all the dos and don’ts will make their employees feel as though they are children who cannot tell between right and wrong, it has been shown that taking the lax approach is detrimental...

...and school’s act having been introduced and implemented in the new democratic dispensation in South African post 1994, the education sector of South Africa has taken a major shift away from the apartheid education system. Many teachers start off teaching learners through formal learning and when learners’ battle or struggle, corporal punishment is used by teachers. Children should be treated as children not as adults. Mkhize (2000) maintains that “primary learning for young children in school comes not through direct teaching, but with social and intellectual interactions both with the teachers and the children’s social allies”. For example, during the times when I was still in primary school, the grade 6 teacher conducted direct teaching to learners and if they fail to understand, corporal punishment was an order of the day One major noticeable shift was that of banning or abolishing corporal punishment in schools. According to chapter 2 of Act no: 84 of 1996 South African School’s act, in the subsection that speaks to “prohibition of corporal punishment in school clause 10.1 stipulates clearly that “no person may administer corporal punishment at school to a learner”. Clause 10.2 further state that “any person who...

...Austin Day Criminal Justice 1010 Capital Punishment: Execution by the State 12/8/2011 History of the Death Penalty The first death penalty laws date back to the Eighteenth Century B.C. The death penalty was punishable for 25 different crimes. The death penalty also dates back to the Fourteenth Century when it was punishable for any kind of crimes. In the Fifth Century, death sentences were administered by ways such as drowning, beating to death, burning alive or even crucifixion and in the Tenth Century A.D. hangings became the main method of execution. During the Sixteenth Century, under the power of Henry VIII, 72,000 people were executed by boiling, hanging, beheading, and boiling. People were executed if they had failed to report a crime or committed treason. During the 1700s, even small crimes were punished by death. These crimes included stealing or even cutting down a tree. A total of 222 crimes were punishable by death (“Part I: History of the Death Penalty”). Capital punishment in America was heavily influenced by Britain. When settlers came to the new world, they brought the form of capital punishment with them. Captain George Kendall was the first recorded execution in the United States for being accused of being a spy for Spain. This occurred in 1608, while in 1612 the Divine, Moral and Martial Laws were created, allowing capital punishment to be enforced for the smallest of crimes such as trading with Indians. The death penalty varied from colony to...

...Question : | Discuss progressive discipline—what is it, why do employers use it and what are the most common four steps in a progressive discipline process? ch. 7 | | | | Student Answer: | Progressive discipline is a form of corrective action where the management team increases the severity of punishment for an employees’ negative behavior. Employers use this form of corrective action because not all negative behavior is reason for an employee’s termination. Progressive discipline gives the employee an opportunity to correct the negative behavior without any additional corrective action. However, if the negative behavior continues, the punishment becomes harsher. Progressive discipline progresses up to and including termination. The four common steps in progressive behavior are verbal warning, written warning, suspension and discharge. When an employee receives a verbal warning, the supervisor meets with the employee and tells them what was done wrong and the next step in the process if the negative behavior is repeated. If the behavior continues, the next step is the written warning. A written warning is placed in the employee’s personnel file for a specific amount of time. If the negative behavior continues, the employee is suspended from work and the time off is usually unpaid. At this stage, the employee receives a written warning notifying them that any further negative behavior will result in discharge (termination of employment). | | | | Points...
