Background of the Study
Human Resource Management (HRM) policies are essential for maintaining order and structure within an organization, providing a framework for managing employee behavior and performance (Akinbode & Adebayo, 2023). These policies govern various aspects of employment, including recruitment, training, compensation, and discipline (Ifeanyi & Okey, 2024). A key component of HRM policies is employee discipline, which is crucial for ensuring that employees adhere to organizational standards, rules, and regulations (Oluwaseun & Olaniyan, 2023). Effective HRM policies contribute to creating a fair and consistent disciplinary system that can prevent misconduct and promote a positive work culture.
UBA Plc (United Bank for Africa), a prominent Nigerian financial institution with branches across various states, including Gombe State, is committed to implementing HRM policies that foster a disciplined workforce. Given the critical role of discipline in the banking sector, which requires employees to follow strict regulatory and operational guidelines, it is important to understand how UBA’s HRM policies impact employee discipline. In Gombe State, where UBA has a significant presence, assessing the effectiveness of HRM policies in maintaining discipline can provide valuable insights into how to improve employee behavior, reduce misconduct, and enhance organizational performance (Adebayo & Fola, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
In many organizations, including UBA Plc, maintaining employee discipline through HRM policies can be challenging due to inconsistent application, lack of transparency, and subjective decision-making (Mohammed & Ismail, 2023). This can lead to employee dissatisfaction, lower morale, and increased instances of misconduct. In Gombe State, there is limited research on the effectiveness of HRM policies in maintaining discipline among employees of UBA Plc. Without a clear understanding of how these policies impact employee behavior, the bank may struggle to foster a disciplined workforce, which could affect productivity and customer satisfaction (Tajudeen & Abubakar, 2023).
