The issue of workplace discipline is directly associated with the Industrial relations system. Industrial relations emerged as a matter of importance in India particularly during the post-independence period, which witnessed rapid industrialization. In the early days of industrialization, Indian employers essentially dictated the type of industrial relations they desired, which led to the exploitative employment practices. Today, Industrial relations in India stand regulated by the state. The directive principles of state policy place upon the government the responsibility of securing, by legislation or economic measures, or any other way, to all workers, industrial or otherwise, work, living wages, conditions of work ensuring a decent standard of life. There is a direct linkage between Industrial Discipline, the Industrial Relations and Industrial Productivity. Indiscipline, per se, is at times cause for poor Industrial Relations and at times effect of poor Industrial Relations. In either case, it hampers Industrial peace and harmony, which is the prerequisite not only for the growth but also for the very survival of the organization in this fast changing world of business.This book on Discipline Management makes available all relevant theories and practices with special focus on applied aspects of Disciplinary Actions.
