...Does Disciplinary Power enforce good or bad behaviour from students in York University Accommodation? Introduction When looking at Foucault’s concept of disciplinary power, we looked at our own expectations compared with our actual experiences of living in university run accommodation. With most students coming to university, it is the first time that they will live on ‘their own’, without the rules and restrictions that they had when living at home with their parents, therefore a degree of freedom and independence was expected. However, we noticed that our actions were restricted by the rules imposed on us due to the acceptance of the university run accommodation. From our own experiences, we witnessed students displaying bad behavioural characteristics through resistance. This led our group to investigate the impact that the rules have on students’ behaviours and the universities use of disciplinary power to ‘control’ students’ behaviour. We also wanted to determine from the student’s perspective, the impact these controls had on their behaviour. Methodology There has been a lot of research conducted to study the behaviours of students and their resistance to authority, however they were not written in the students’ perspective. By investigating the behaviours of students from their perspective, it allows us to have a more accurate account of their experiences and the impact that the university’s restrictions has on them. It also enables us to determine why students either...

...There are some students who do not acquire proper language to speak out their problems to the teachers and as a result, they speak through their behaviours. Therefore, communication is very important among teacher and students in order to understand each other. Misbehaved students referred to the students who do any activity in the classroom that can cause interferences during the learning process. Unpreparedness for class, talking in class, rudeness to teachers, fighting and cheating were some of the misbehaviour activities that can interrupt the process of teaching and learning (Slavin, 2001; Hussain, 2005 as cited by Omoteso & Semudara, 2011). These misbehaviours were caused by many factors such as violence in media, broken families as well as drugs. Apart from that, school also gave greater impact on these misbehaviours. Therefore, classroom management is very important in dealing with this issue and teachers are expected to take few actions in handling these misbehaviours and one of them is classroom communication. As mentioned, classroom communication plays an important role in managing misbehaved students. McCroskey, McCroskey and Richmond (2006) referred classroom communication to “the process by which one person stimulates meaning in the mind of another through verbal and/or nonverbal messages” (pp. 2-3). Based on this definition, non-verbal communication is one of the communications that can be used by the teacher...

At Sunshine Fashion, the main manifestations of employees’ misbehaviour are fraud and theft bybranch managers at the local Chinese market. The root causes of these misbehaviours are bothindividual and contextual: Individual: - Weak sense of belonging and loyalty to Sunshine (high yearly turnover of branch managersof 20%): Branch managers use Sunshine stores to build personal relationships withdepartment stores and to promote their own brands.- Need to get be better rewarded: theft is a symptom that managers are not well remunerated.Pocketing the difference between price tag, ongoing promotion and cash sales.- Involuntary rotation might not be good for the moral of the employees, lowering their loyaltyand increasing their turnover Contextual: - Recruitment policies: o Managers are hired mostly on “relationships of mutual favour”, and not based onmanagerial ability or integrity. o Long term personal goals for these people are mainly to flourish their relationships,because that increases their personal value in that market. The goals of the companydo not fit managers’ personal goals.- Organizational justice (OB, p. 256) was taken to extremes : o Uniform reward for branch managers did not take into account location and thestandard of living of the particular branch/region...

...Organisational Behaviour U58029 Individual assignment Name: Miguel Zhou Yang Student number: 13083861 Word count: Part 1: Organisational Misbehaviour Organisational behaviour can be defined as the study of what people think, feel and do in and around organisations (Mcshane & Glinow, 2008). Thus, the antonym for Organisational behaviour would obviously be Organisational Misbehaviour which its easiest and simplest definition according to Ackroyd & Thompson (1999) is “Organisational misbehaviour is anything you do at work you are not supposed to do”; however, OM is a wide topic of investigation and the understanding of this subject depends on different aspects, theories and perspectives (Richard, 2008). Other researchers saw misbehaviour as something more linked to relations within an organisation, stating that OM is mainly based on interactions between people and that is relied on ethical issues in employer-employee relationship (Deckop, 2006). This essay will mainly explain and analyse the different types of misbehaviour that can be found in a particular case: The Enron & Arthur Andersen scandal, the “Why’s” and “How’s” these two companies fell into corruption and thus, misbehaviour. Enron & Andersen Enron Corporation was an energy company founded in 1930 based in Houston, Texas. It never shined out until 1996, when the firm was considered as one of the most innovative organisation in the world (Debinski & Al). Enron started lying about its profits...

...Discipline and Management: Different Yet Related Mary Keel Grand Canyon University: TCH-536 January 26, 2014 Comparison of Discipline and Management, and Behaviour and Misbehaviour Definitions Discipline denotes training or systematic instruction intended to produce a specific pattern of behaviour or character, especially training, which produces mental or moral character that adheres to a specific order or conduct. The term could also refer to the product of the training, which is controlled behaviour that results from self-control attained after disciplinary training. The term also denotes the act of punishing to enforce obedience or gain control (Marvin, 2014). Management is the coordination and organization of activities in a classroom in order to attain defined objectives and this involves controlling or dealing with students, processes and things in a manner that enables attainment of set goals and objectives (Marvin, 2014). Behaviour denotes observable activities or mannerisms in humans, which is an aggregate of responses to stimuli or input whether external and internal, voluntary of involuntary, covert or overt and conscious or subconscious. On the other hand, misbehaviour denotes conduct or actions that are incorrect, improper, inappropriate or unexpected of an individual based on their settings. Similarity of the Terms 1) Discipline and management are both control processes aimed at achieving specific objectives. On one hand, management...

...employee misbehavior at Sunshine? Ans 1. Individual misbehaviour in any organisation is not only dependent on an individual’s psychology but is also affected by many variables such as the Organisation structure, Work environment, operating procedures etc. However, the phenomenon of misbehaviour can be better understood in terms of motives and opportunity. Employees commit unethical conduct because of one of the motives of - greed, financial benefit, or other individual motivations and these motives flourish in the absence of effective monitoring mechanisms and effective leadership in the work environment. Sunshine Fashions’ organisational hierarchy and work ethics provided ample motives and opportunities to the employees to indulge in fraud and misbehaviour. The specific root causes for employee misbehaviour at Sunshine can be listed as below:- Root Causes for Individual Misbehaviour (a) Lack of loyalty and belongingness - The employees of sunshine lacked loyalty and belongingness towards the company and this led to opportunistic behaviour. This may be attributed to poor organisation culture, selection process, training, and transparency in company working or leadership issues. (b) Greed – The employees wanted to make quick money through the loop holes in the system. (c) Poor leadership/role models (d) Effects of witnessing similar acts committed by co-workers. Root Causes of Contextual Misbehaviour (a) Lack of transparency in company policies – It is...

Militant, disobedient, socially inadequate and withdrawn behaviours of pupils are disruptions of class and establish a set of problems to public school teachers. As a teachers they claim it a great burden to deal with in their daily lives. Most teachers are claiming that their effort do not to effectively handle disruptive pupils.

...FORMS OF EMPLOYEE NEGATIVE WORD OF MOUTH: A STUDY OF FRONT-LINE WORKERS The purpose of this article is to explain and provide the understandings within the forms of negative word of mouth (WOM) by the front line workers toward the employees and customers in any organizations. The word of mouth in this article is about the negative verbal communication or spoken meanings of a person towards the customer and other employees that work in the same organization or department. According to this article there has been a research interest into (WOM) from several organizational disciplines and there is a notable lack of studies on employee negative WOM behaviours. Besides that the author of the article has found some studies that contribute and also relate on employee behaviours that can be viewed as linked to word of mouth such as sabotage (Ackroyd and Thompson, 1999; Harris and Ogbonna, 2002;Wang et al.,2011), workplace incivility (Van Jaarsveld et al., 2010) and retaliation (Skarlicki et al., 1999). Although they are some research aids have tended to avoid the forms of WOM by employees, especially front-line, customer contact employees who are the direct interface between organizations and their customers. This article also mention that the authors have stated that the findings of the word of mouth phenomenon in the organization will provide the important information to the literature on the changing aspects of negative employee behaviour in the workplace, mostly in relation to front-line...

...Module 4 Behaviour Management "Effective behaviour management is essential to the smooth running of a school and in the creation of an environment where everyone's rights and responsibilities are addressed. A balance between fundamental rights and responsibilities is at the heart of behaviour management" (Rogers, 2000 p.12). The school system and the community of people that constitute the school need to be the focus for intervention and change. As Rutter (1979) argued, positive and measurable outcomes in behaviour and learning can occur apart from the socioeconomic conditions of the children in school. Progress will be limited if the schools attitude and stance is "How can we be expected to develop good learning and behaviour when we have got kids like these in this environment." A recent survey reports that the majority of teachers consider 'home background' to be the most significant factor in 'problem behaviour' (Croll and Moses, 1985). The classroom climate has a huge impact on pupils motivation and attitudes to learning. A study by Wragg and Wood (1989) emphasises the importance of the first few lessons with a new class in establishing positive behaviour and fostering pupils intrinsic and extrinsic motivation towards learning. Jones and Jones (1998) formula - Motivation = expectation of success x expected benefits of success x work climate. Kyriacou (2001) claims that the classroom itself should be purposeful, task-orientated, relaxed warm and supportive with emphasis...

... shoving, choking, use of various objects (wooden paddles, belts, sticks, pins, or others), painful body postures (as placing in closed spaces), use of electric shock and use of excessive exercise drills. These harsh disciplinary measures adopted by authoritarian teachers to discipline students’ lead to anti-social behaviour, contribute to academic failure and social rejection. These conditions further reduce self-esteem and create depressed mood, which in turn add to the likelihood of delinquency in adolescents (Patterson, 1982). However, this paper seeks to outline the negative effects of corporal punishment and positive disciplinary actions that can be used to deal with students’ misbehaviour. Negative effects of corporal punishment Inconsistent or overuse of punishment in harsh and unskilled ways can have very undesirable, dangerous and long lasting effects on the students’ who may develop negative personality traits such as disliking the punishing person, developing strong fears and anxieties, obstacles with learning, learning to escape and avoid people, places and things associated...

...The conclusion of the book Of Mice and Men suggest that George's action to shoot Lennie was justified for acceptable reasons. The first reason would be because George had to look for a new job in a new place due to Lennie's misbehaviour. He would cause many problems that led them to move from place to place so they wouldn't get mobbed. For example, they had to flee from Weed because Lennie felt a lady's dress very roughly and she thought Lennie wanted to hurt her so the men were looking for Lennie because they thought he wanted to rape the lady. Another reason would be Lennie seemed to forget every single thing he was told. George would have to repeat himself over and over again so Lennie could remember the things he wasn't allowed to do for...
