HOT-STOVE RULE
Disciplinary action against an employee is painful and generates resentment. Hot-stove rule is all about how to impose discipline to employees without generating resentment. Hot stove rule draws an analogy between touching a hot stove and undergoing discipline.
According to the Red Hot Stove rule, disciplinary action should have the following consequences:
(a) Burns immediately: If disciplinary action is to be taken, it must occur immediately so the individual will understand the reason for it. With the passage of time, people have the tendency to convince themselves that they are not at fault. As with the hot stove when we touch it, our hand burns immediately.
(b) Provides warning: It is very important to provide advance warning that punishment will follow unacceptable behavior. As you move closer to hot stove, you are warned by its heat that you will be burned if you touch it.
(c) Gives consistent punishment: Disciplinary action should also be consistent in that everyone who performs the same act will be punished accordingly. As with a hot stove, each person who touches it is burned the same.
(d) Burns impersonally: Disciplinary action should be impersonal. There are no favorites when this approach is followed. As with hot stove when we touch it, it burns everyone's hand without any bias.
This is the best approach to impose discipline to any employee because it is not biased.
