Forced Compliance

What is Forced Compliance?

In the context of business, forced compliance refers to a situation in which an employee or group of employees is compelled to comply with a rule, policy, or decision made by the organization, often through the use of external pressure or coercion. Forced compliance is typically used when an employee or group is unwilling or resistant to change, and it is intended to bring about the desired change in behavior or attitude.

Forced compliance can be achieved through a variety of means, including the use of punishment, rewards, or incentives. For example, an employee who is unwilling to follow a new company policy might be disciplined for noncompliance, or an organization might offer incentives to encourage compliance with a new procedure.

While forced compliance can be effective in bringing about short-term changes in behavior, it is often less effective in the long term and can lead to negative consequences such as resentment, resistance, and disengagement among employees. Therefore, it is generally more effective for organizations to use more voluntary approaches to change, such as those that involve building commitment and ownership among employees.
