billrosa-ga,
Hello, and thanks for getting back to me.
There's a great deal of information on the internet on the topic of
the so-called "problem employee". Most of it is geared towards
practical advice to employers, managers and co-workers, although there
are also some more formal academic-style write-ups.
I've selected what I believe to be the best of the bunch, with an eye
towards providing you a variety of resources that are appropriate to
the undergraduate level.
I believe the resources below should provide you a wealth of
information. However, please do not rate this answer until you are
satisfied that you have everything you need. If I can help you with
anything else -- or if you simply need additional references (50 pages
is a long paper, after all) -- just post a Request for Clarification,
and I'm at your service.
All the best,
pafalafa-ga

Using Informal Discipline to Deal with Problem Employees
Part 1 discusses personal issues that can surface when dealing with
problem employees and how they can cause managers to act in ways that
are not necessarily in an organization s best interest. It also
discusses the role that Human Resources can take to educate managers
on their own tendencies and facilitate decisions that better serve
both the company and the employee. Part 2 provides recommendations
regarding treatment of problem employees by exploring potential
reasons for their actions and by providing practical tips and
strategies for conducting an informal discipline session.
