Discipline is not to be regarded as the use of force or making use of punitive measures to correct misbehavoiursin workplace, rather, it is a system designed to align employees’ interest to that of the organization which requires compliance to the organizational policies, laid down rules and regulation of the an organization. Any attempt by employees to deviate from the defined scope outlined by the management for the organization’s interest would have to be visited with prompt action. This co-opts the use of disciplinary procedures which require the establishment of the act of indiscipline, investigation, fair hearing, award of punishment and right to appeal.This review explores the influence of employee discipline on organizational performance, focusing on selected commercial banks in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The study reviews relevant literature (ofboth) of both local and international studies on the concept of employee discipline, factors influencing indiscipline, causes of indiscipline, disciplinary procedures and the relationship between discipline and performance metrics. Through analysis of past studies, the review reveals that effective disciplinary practices contribute to employee efficiency, reduce absenteeism, and enhance overall productivity. The paper drew its conclusion with recommendations for bank managers on maintaining a structured disciplinary framework that aligns with organizational goals.
