According to Stephen, et al (2013), an organisation is a consciously
coordinated social unit, composed of two or more people that functions on a
relatively continuous basis to achieve a common goal or set of goals.
There are three primary features that run through all the definitions of the term
organization: the structure, the goal, and the people. In other words,
organisation comprises of different people coming together to carry out tasks
in a structured setting, that will lead to achieving common goals or results. For
the purpose of this paper, we will focus on the people aspect of the
organisation.

personnel correct behavioral deficiencies and ensure adherence to
established company rules. In other words, discipline is the regulation
and modulation of human activities to produce a controlled performance. Discipline
can also be referred to as employee learning that promotes self-control, dedication,
and orderly conduct. Robert and John, (2011) define discipline as a
form of training that enforces organizational rules.
Discipline is a

practices gradually result in indiscipline.
