Describe some of the typical symptoms of employee discontent when dissatisfaction has not been expressed

What will be an ideal response?


When employee discontent is not verbalized, it may become more grievous to the supervisor and the organization than expressed grievances, and its effects may be just as devastating. The typical symptoms that should alert a supervisor to the existence of dissatisfaction among his subordinates are similar to those symptoms of frustration. Other manifestations of dissatisfaction might be increased "blue Monday" absenteeism, growing inattention to duty, excessive tardiness, indifference to job requirements, hostility and irritability of employees, general deterioration in performance and morale, and similar reactions. Once the supervisor recognizes the symptoms that strong feelings of discontent are growing among his subordinates, he should try to determine what the cause might be. In doing so, he will look to a cross section of his subordinates for clues. Interviews with affected personnel may provide additional evidence.
