Zorluk: OrtaWorkplace Grievance and Subordinate Management Scenarios

As the Deputy Commissioner of the State Excise Department, you receive a formal written grievance signed by a group of field inspectors. They allege severe harassment, bias in shift allocations, and procedural coercion by their Zonal Superintendent. The inspectors threaten to go on mass casual leave next week if immediate action is not taken. Arrange the following administrative actions in the most appropriate chronological sequence to handle this grievance and ensure due process.

  1. 1Acknowledge the formal grievance and hold an immediate dialogue with the aggrieved inspectors to dissuade them from proceeding with the mass casual leave.
  2. 2Conduct a rapid preliminary assessment to verify if the specific allegations possess prima facie merit.
  3. 3Temporarily attach the accused Zonal Superintendent to the state headquarters without prejudice.
  4. 4Constitute a formal departmental inquiry committee to record official statements and gather comprehensive evidence.
  5. 5Execute formal disciplinary proceedings or administrative closure based on the conclusive findings of the inquiry report.

Cevap

The correct chronological sequence is: first, engage with inspectors to avert the strike; second, conduct a preliminary assessment; third, temporarily transfer the accused; fourth, constitute a formal inquiry; and finally, execute a decision based on the final report.
The correct administrative workflow balances immediate crisis management with strict adherence to due process. The administrator must first secure the continuity of public service by halting the threatened strike through dialogue. Once operations are stable, a preliminary check ensures the complaint has substance. To conduct a fair formal inquiry, the accused must be temporarily removed from their position of power over the complainants. Only then can a formal committee impartially gather evidence, which ultimately forms the mandatory basis for the final disciplinary decision.
