Abstract
One of the main issues in human resource management is employees' discipline that concentrates on controling and preventing the employees from misconducting. There are three approaches of discipline including traditional, progressive and positive. In traditional approach, when any unaccepted behavior happens, the managers react immediately and punish the non-obedient worker, but in progressive approach, the managers do a progressive and step-wise action. In positive approach, not every kind of punishment is accepted; the workers should have time to correct their unaccepted behavior. In this paper, we tried to show the social science propositions of these three approaches as ideal types of employees' discipline and suggest new type of discipline according to Quranic instructions. Strategy of this research is qualitative; and we used analytical approach to reconcept the discipline in a typological framework through management, social science thinkers and Quran text. Finally, four approaches were suggestedto employees' discipline through ontological dichotomy. At the end of this paper, we explained the transcendental employee discipline as Quranic approach to discipline.
