Answer 1

d. Progressive discipline is used for misconduct while positive discipline is used to reward outstanding performance.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Human Resource Managerment (HRM) which is all about the optimization of the employees performance to make the company more productive, two major discipline approach is adopted.

Progressive discipline which seeks to make violating company policy an unpleasant experience and positive discipline which seeks to eliminate the issues that cause the policy violation in the company.
