Question

There are many barriers to policy acceptance and enforcement. Which of the following is not one the challenges to policy acceptance? organizational support at all levels giving employees a stake policy awareness and understanding disciplinary action for employees who fail to accept policies

Answer 1

Answer:

None of the above.

Explanation:

Barriers to policy acceptance and enforcement stem from ineffective communication, lack of support for employees, lack of motivation as well as a lack of accountability.

All options fall into one of these categories as will be pointed out below:

• Organizational support at all levels: A lack of support of the employees at all levels of management, makes acceptance of a new policy difficult for the employees and policy enforcement is bound to fail.
• Giving employees a stake: This boosts employee motivation and could be achieved by actions such giving awards to employees who successfully follow the new policy the best. A lack of motivation, could impede the smooth acceptance of the policy by employees.
• Policy awareness: Employees of an organization must be well informed and kept aware of a policy before acceptance can happen. If knowledge of the policy is hoarded or there is ineffective communication of the policy, the employees do not even know about what new policy is being enforced by the company.
• Understanding disciplinary action for employees who fail to accept policies: This action makes employees realize they are held accountable for following the new policy and a failure to do that will attract a certain level of punishment. This keeps employees on their toes and makes them conscious of the policy to be accepted and enforced. Without this, an employee could fail to accept a policy and feel comfortable doing so.
