Motivation is imperative for employee discipline, as it is also critical to the success and survival of organisations. Some scholars are of the opinion that the most difficult factor, of all the factors of production in the organisation, is the human element. In the same vein human beings are considered as the most important assets of organization. Employee's behaviours, such as discipline and indiscipline affect the image of organisations both positively and negatively. The image of the organisation may be damaged by acts of indiscipline exhibited by employees. Such acts may include, lateness, laziness, leaking of official secrets, going against the rules and regulations of the organisation, brutality, corrupt practices and general misconducts.Indiscipline among employees is a common phenomenon and it contributes to the negative images of many organisations.
