Answer to Question 1

Managers can misuse discipline by making it a way to intimidate employees they do not like or for retribution when an employee makes a mistake. When a supervisor uses employee discipline for purposes of revenge rather than to correct an inappropriate behavior, the abuse of power is unethical. Closely monitoring the behavior of a disliked employee to find an opportunity to punish the employee or using rumors and unsubstantiated evidence as a basis to apply discipline without giving the employee an opportunity to defend his or her conduct are additional examples of misusing discipline.
