Discipline is the norm of effective labor. Why does a person need to abide by discipline? Without compliance, the principles of the organization of the labor process in time and space are violated. This leads to chaos and disorder. The activity itself and its effectiveness are called into question, since they lose the focus of the process.
Discipline is order
Any business needs order. Especially when it comes to the organization of the labor process. Enterprises of various forms of ownership - state, municipal, commercial, charitable - must develop the Regulation on the internal regulations, which spell out the requirements of labor discipline in the organization and determine the responsibility for their violation.
In order to achieve a result, a person must be endowed with the awareness of the need to comply with the rules. Already in elementary school, children are taught to elementary standards of behavior. The requirements for the results of mastering the discipline in each subject teach the student to hear the rules and follow them to complete the educational task.
Parenting as a way of accustoming to order
Education begins with familiarization with the requirements for a particular person. In kindergarten - the regimen of the day. At school, the educational process. In adulthood - in the workforce. If you skip one of the stages, you can violate the general order of socialization of a person.
The first experience of the discipline is obedience to elders, knowing the place for each thing, observing the daily routine, the ability to hear requirements and fulfill instructions. How all these actions resemble the rules of the work schedule in an adult team! Therefore, the truth is very simple - it is difficult to discipline and adopt these rules at a more mature age without instilling the ability to order in childhood.
To observe labor discipline at school means to fulfill the requirements for students in form, appearance, behavior in the classroom and after school hours, to perform homework.
The system of school education includes requirements for the development of academic discipline. In case of compliance with these requirements - the volume and quality of knowledge based on the results of mastering the course, the student receives a certificate certifying that the intellectual level of the graduate meets the educational standards.
Why does a person need to abide by discipline?
If there is an order of behavior and activity regulated by the norms of legislation or local internal documents, the following results are achieved:
- Clarity of requirements and control criteria for all process participants.
- Understanding the consequences of non-compliance with discipline requirements.
- Efficiency.
- Product quality.
- Strengthening internal community relations based on the distribution of the rights and responsibilities of participants.
From the content of internal documents it should be clear why a person needs to follow the requirements of discipline. It is necessary that they be not only external descriptions, but also gain support from the employees, become not a violent measure of influence, but take into account their personal interest.
How is discipline organized in a team?
For the organization of work, an Order is issued on the approval of the Regulations on the internal work schedule. It defines the mode of work and rest at the enterprise, the conditions for observing safety measures, work standards that are mandatory.
If the production is classified as dangerous, or risk situations may arise, the obligation of the employee to observe labor discipline is an official requirement imputed to him in employment.
The employee must be familiarized with the internal regulations when hiring under a personal signature. They are necessary for execution and must be mandatory for each employee. If the failure to comply with the rules is ignored, this can lead not only to general negligence, but also completely destroy the organization from the inside. Lack of discipline is a sure sign of a poor management environment.
In case of violation of the Internal Rules of Procedure, administrative, disciplinary sanctions are applied to the employee; in case of repeated violation, he may be dismissed.
What provisions contain internal rules?
Internal regulations - an internal local regulatory document that defines the labor regulations of an enterprise.
- The main provisions. It reports on the purpose of the development of the document and its addressee (for whom the Rules are developed).
- The procedure for the reception and dismissal of employees. Criteria for the admission and dismissal of employees are indicated.
- The mode of work and rest. The beginning and end of work, technological breaks, the organization of shifts and other labor standards are determined.
- Rights and responsibilities of employees and the employer of the enterprise.
- The system of bonuses and rewards for the results of labor.
In addition to the internal regulations, there are other administrative documents: labor contracts, technical regulations, and job responsibilities. In general, they organize the order of work in the organization and serve to strengthen discipline in the enterprise.
What are the consequences if labor discipline is not respected?
It is clear that any discipline is a way to limit a person’s freedom . Therefore, it is important that a person understands and accepts the rules not as external pressure, but as a conscious internal need for order.
If the internal regulations are not fully implemented or are directly ignored, the offender will be subject to the disciplinary sanctions provided for by the Federal Law of 30.06.2006 No. 90-:
- Comment.
- Rebuke.
- Dismissal.
An explanation is required prior to disciplinary action against the employee. In case of failure to submit it within two days, an act is drawn up. Failure to explain by the employee does not preclude disciplinary action. The period from the moment of misconduct to the moment of recovery shall not exceed two months.
Discipline control
For certain types of professional activity , special requirements of labor discipline are presented.
For example, the organization of financial control at the enterprise is an important element of financial discipline - compliance with the established procedure for the formation, distribution and use of funds.
In particular, verification of compliance with cash discipline involves the implementation of procedures for accounting for cash flows at the enterprise and the timely reflection of this process in accounting documents.
Verification of compliance with cash discipline is mandatory for the financially responsible person at the enterprise - the cashier or another person who is charged with working at the cash register. The control function is one of the main in the organization’s management system.
Discipline of Responsibility
Responsibility for discipline may extend not only to the scale of the enterprise. Internal documents of an organization often provide for a non-disclosure of trade secrets rule, which is valid for a certain time after the dismissal of an employee from the organization. The obligation of the employee to observe labor discipline regarding non-disclosure of secrecy is maintained for the entire period stipulated by the contract. Violation of this norm shall be punished in the courts in accordance with applicable law.
Quality and discipline
The order ensures quality in all areas of activity. For this, it is very important to follow the production regulations at each stage of the technological process. Only in this case will the product meet the required standards. Monitoring compliance with technological discipline is the responsibility of the master of the production site or special services. The duties stipulate the procedure for this control and the corresponding rights and obligations of the participants in the technical process.
Monitoring compliance with technological discipline is also important for the safety of workers. Because it is the violations at this stage that are fraught with serious accidents and threaten the life and health of people. Labor discipline as a form of safety is especially important in enterprises with complex industries. At the enterprises of the military industry with high-tech production lines, even the slightest violation of the stages of technology is impossible.
The discipline of communications and its requirements require strict observance of its provision and the implementation of measures in the military security system of the Russian Federation. This is also a certain technical process, which is of tremendous importance for maintaining the country's defense capability at the proper level.
External and internal order
The rules prescribed from outside do not always take into account the interests of a particular person; they often limit his freedom for the benefit of other people. It is necessary to be able to negotiate, and if a person does not accept this order, it is advisable for him to refuse to participate in labor activity.
Observance of discipline is the natural norm of society. The habit of following the established order allows a person to organically fit into any work process. And not only, the order in the family should be the first stage in the education of a member of society. Unlike the animal world, where the order is established by the natural laws of nature, in human society it itself prescribes norms of behavior.
Order begins with the person himself. He should be primarily in his head. In this case, the habit of following the order and making suggestions for improving it will lead to a conflict-free way of life, which is why a person needs to observe the requirements of discipline.
Self-discipline as an element of personality culture
Following the prescribed rules of society is sometimes much easier than organizing your own life. And what is recognized as a rule if discipline is defined only by ideas about one’s own behavior? Why does a person need to observe the requirements of discipline in relation to himself, and is there a need for this?
This process is more complex, requiring an understanding of the psychological nature of this phenomenon. Self-organization and submission of personal interests to one goal is a natural process for a purposeful person. In this case, the subject of his interest draws up the rules for following him.
If self-discipline has a purely formal reason, for example, as a tribute to fashion, or the goal is formally recognized, but in fact does not correspond to the spirit of a person, then this will be not only unsuccessful, but also a dangerous process for the psyche of the subject of his self-development.
Freedom and discipline: how to put emphasis?
Discipline is always following a strict order. If the norms of this order are alien to a person, but for various reasons he is obliged to follow them, what can this lead to?
The only way to reconcile these points is to realize the need to follow external predefined rules. For example, if a person in the process of studying is obliged to fulfill the requirements for the development of a discipline that is not interesting to him, is not needed in practice?
You can formally approach these requirements and fulfill them for, say, obtaining a certificate. It will be less time-consuming and spent energy event than to prove to the whole world the inexpediency of studying it.
Discipline is a conscious need that must be accepted as a personal need.
