Failure to properly take legal action can be due to inexperience or intentional negligence. Infringement occurs when an individual fails to comply with legally prescribed actions. Professional infringement can occur when executives bypass procedures. Passive negligence, such as failing to perform required procedures, can also have negative consequences. Ultimately, such behavior is harmful in the long run.
Failure is a term that is often used to describe the process of engaging in legal and proper action, but failing to take that action properly. Sometimes referred to as malfeasance or impropriety, this incorrect process is often due to inexperience or a failure to fully understand the process. However, there are cases when the wrong action is due to intentional negligence.
Most often, infringement is a term used in legal circles. An individual can be found guilty of this type of action when he fails to comply with legally prescribed actions, related to laws, statutes or customs, and determined by law enforcement officials. Offenses often occur due to lack of knowledge on the part of the individual who commits them. While this factor can and sometimes does impact the type of restitution required, not knowing the applicable laws is generally not an acceptable basis for fully excusing wrongful action.
The phenomenon of professional infringement is not unknown in the business world. Executives, managers and supervisors within a company structure can choose to bypass prohibited procedures in order to take a shortcut that will lead to the desired end in less time. While the end result may still be the same, circumventing established procedures can create other problems for the company later on. Therefore, this intentional act of infringement can result in negative consequences for the entire company, sometimes to the point where any savings in time and resources gained from the shortcut are completely offset.
It is important to note that this type of professional negligence does not always have to be active in nature. Intentional tampering can also occur if you choose to function in a passive capacity. In this type of application, it is not about circumventing established procedures, but about failing to perform them or any similar procedure.
For example, one supervisor feels that spending time conducting periodic employee reviews is a waste of time; therefore, he or she simply does not do them. Lack of diligence in duty and procedure may not become apparent until an employee requests a transfer to another department. When checking the employee’s personnel file, note that there are no periodic performance reviews. Violation in this situation could lead to the manager being fired and possibly prevent the employee from being considered for transfer.
With rare exceptions, an act of impropriety may yield some short-term benefits to one or a few persons, but ultimately may lead to difficulties for other persons who are negatively impacted by the active or passive act of negligence. Whether the situation involves the laws of the land or the operation of a business, the end result of this type of behavior is usually harmful in the long run.
