Overview
• Insubordination is the act of willfully disobeying an authority. Refusing to perform an action that is unethical or illegal is not insubordination.
Factors that can lead to Insubordination
*Personal AgendasAn employee with his own agenda will
disobey a direct order if it will forward that agenda. The agenda could be to oust a
supervisor so the employee can take over the position or it could be a more personal
reason that only the employee understands.
*StressExample, the employee is doing the
job of three people--or the stress could be personal in nature, causing him to become so overwhelmed that he simply cannot take on more tasks. This is usually a temporary situation but it can be corrected without severe disciplinary action.
*Work Environment Before taking any sort of disciplinary
action, it is imperative that the cause of the rebellion be located and corrected, especially if the insubordinate employee has been a valued member of the organization in the past.
*GenderIn terms of gender, the Workplace
Bullying Institute (2007) states that women appear to be at greater risk of becoming a bullying target, as 57% of those who reported being targeted for abuse were women.
Men are more likely to participate in aggressive bullying behavior (60%), however when the bully is a woman
her target is more likely to be a woman as well (71%).
Some women weep when they find out their baby is a girl because, to them, a daughter is just another expense. Her
place is in the home, not in the world of men. In some parts of India, it's traditional to greet a family with a newborn girl by
saying, "The servant of your household has been born."
Instance in which an employee is accused of insubordination
• Refusal to Carry Out an Order:The general rule for employees who are
confronted with a work order they believe is objectionable, unfair,
improper, illegal or a violation of the union contract is: "work now, grieve
later.“
Abusive Language
• Employees may be subject to discipline for using profane or abusive language, though it may not necessarily warrant a charge of insubordination or result in dismissal of the employee.
Disrespectful Attitude
• Grumbling or "back talk" (without a clear refusal to carry out orders) may subject an employee to discipline, and, may, eventually, lead to a charge of insubordination, but, by itself, is not enough to justify that charge or to result in immediate dismissal.
Union Stewardship
When acting in one's capacity as a steward, an employee is management's equal and has much more leeway to
engage in behavior that otherwise would constitute insubordination. This does not give the steward unrestricted rights to
act in defiance of management.
According to Hoel and Cooper, common abusive workplace behaviors are:
1.Having your opinions and views ignored2.Withholding information which affects your
performance3.Being exposed to an unmanageable workload4.Being given tasks with unreasonable or impossible targets or deadlines5.Being ordered to do work below competence
6.Being ignored or facing hostility when you approach7.Being humiliated or ridiculed in connection with your work.8.Excessive monitoring of a person's work 9.Spreading gossip10.Having insulting or offensive remarks made about your person, your attitudes or your private life11.Having key areas of responsibility removed or replaced with more trivial or unpleasant
tasks
Throughout history and until recent times women have had to be very obedient to their fathers and their surrounding society. Women never
had more rights then men and had to obey every order from their fathers as well as their husbands. Women were thought of being less human then men, and less intelligent. Also society was setup for many
women to be the homemaker where they where grown up to bear children, take care of the home, cook, and clean. Marriage a lot of
times in these societies was fixed and rarely out of love. Women often were the link to bring one family together with another for political or power reasons. Sometimes a young man would pay a man money to
marry his daughter. Women most of the time had little or no say in the decision their father made with whom they were supposed to be
married. This was the type of society William Shakespeare lived and wrote his plays in.
