Dear all,

I agree with all of you. The theory does not relate to recruitment, appraisal, and such matters. It only emphasizes the hierarchy of motivation. As far as I know, this is just a theory of motivation.

This is a nice quiz to start. Everyone will have so much to learn.

Dear Seema & Preet,

Thank you for your compliments, and I am also very sorry that I have exceeded my time limit due to some official commitments.

My question is: What is the difference between termination, dismissal, discharge, and retrenchment? Please explain briefly.

Thanks with Regards,

Hi Thiru,

Thanks for posting your question. It is better late than never, but try to maintain timings as we may proceed with the other winner to post the question. It is a good question that every HR person should know. Don't ask them to write a brief reply; the response should be short and sweet.

Hi all,

Once the question is closed for answering, do not answer again or reply on those topics. (Still, I am receiving answers for Maslow's theory.) Come on, guys, answer this question. Your time is till Tuesday 11.30 AM.

Hi Preet & Others,

It is a very good initiative from your end. Through this, HR people can learn new things about HR. Seema did a good job by posting a case study in a real-time situation. It provides the opportunity to analyze the case and actions to be taken by the HR person.

We appreciate this initiative. To keep this spirit high and enable people to learn more, we are thinking of sponsoring this topic by giving prizes to one lucky winner from the list of winners who answer correctly on a fortnightly basis.

If you agree, I will send you the details and procedures on how the winner will be chosen for prizes from Prosearch Station. Prosearchstation (Unit of Promentor Consulting) is a Bangalore-based recruitment firm that serves IT & Non-IT clients across India. We handle recruitments from freshers to senior management levels.

Best of luck to everyone who answers correctly or attempts to answer the question.

Hi,

Dismissal is a temporary removal of the person from the organization as a punishment for his actions.

Discharge is the end of a service contract with mutual understanding.

Termination is done during the training/probation period of any employee. This means we have to specify in the appointment order that we may terminate their services if the employee's performance is not satisfactory.

As requested by Preet, I am just posting a simple answer. If Thiru wants me to explain it in detail, I can do so.

Hello,

My answers are:

TERMINATION: Termination means voluntary or involuntary release from the organization, getting separated.

DISMISSAL: Dismissal means an initiative by the organization (involuntary) for the release of the employee.

DISCHARGE: Mutual release from the organization.

RETRENCHMENT: Downsizing of employees by the organization.

Hi Sreeni,

Your way of answering is correct, which is short and sweet. Brief answers might confuse the readers, and many of them don't have the patience to read such big answers. Thanks for answering in short.

Again, I think your answer is swapped with the terminology asked by Thiru. In my opinion, dismissal is a permanent removal. Anyway, check and answer. Thiru will decide on the winner.

Hi Praveen,

Thank you for your compliments. As for the prizes you are ready to offer, at this moment, we are not in a situation to say yes or no. It might be against the rules and regulations of the Cite HR website. Let me check with Mr. Sidartha Roy and get back to you.

Preet.
