Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of disciplinary procedures on organizational effectiveness with a case of World Vision Tanzania (WVT). Specific objectives were as follows; to determine the effect of oral reprimands on organization effectiveness; to examine the effect of written reprimands on organization effectiveness; and to investigate the effect of disciplinary actions on organization effectiveness. The target population was 535 employees of World Vision Tanzania. The sample size was 121 respondents. Primary data were collected from the employees of WVT. Data were collected using questionnaires developed based on the objectives of the study. On employee discipline, the study found that oral reprimands (β = .125, p = .004), written reprimand (β = .869, p = .000), suspension (β = .332, p = .003), termination of employment (β = .681, p = .000) had a positive and significant effect on organizational effectiveness. However, the results indicated that suspension without pay had a negative and insignificant effect on the organizational effectiveness (β = -.370, p = .103). The study concludes, after the correlations results, that there were generally high correlations between disciplinary procedures and organizational effectiveness. The study recommends that the organization should ensure that it applies fair disciplinary procedures when making judgment to all employees regardless of their level in the organization. Keywords: Disciplinary Procedures, Organizational Effectiveness, written reprimand, Suspension, termination of employment, World Vision Tanzania.
