Nelson A. N. M. Meshquat Uddin Cleveland State University, Ohio This study examines the impact of employees' age, education, occupation, race, sex, and tenure on employee discipline and grievance filing in a nonunion organization. The results indicate that nonwhite and older employees are more likely to be disciplined and to grieve when they are disciplined. Clerical and service employees have similar discipline rates but service employees are more likely to grieve. The differences in the frequency of discipline may reflect problems in the administration of discipline or may represent real disparities in employee behavior. Whatever the cause of the differences between disciplined employees, grievants, and other employees, appropriate remedial actions should be taken.
