Insubordinations is a plural noun that refers to acts or behaviors displaying resistance, defiance, or disobedience towards authority figures or established rules within an organization or hierarchical structure. It represents a deliberate refusal to adhere to commands, follow orders, or comply with instructions given by a superior or those in positions of power.
The term insubordination highlights the act of challenging or rebelling against established protocols, hierarchies, or directives with an intention to question or subvert authority. Such behaviors often involve actions or words that undermine the authority or legitimacy of those in command, causing disruptions within the organization.
Examples of insubordination include openly challenging the decisions or directives of superiors, refusing to carry out assigned tasks or duties without valid reasons, ignoring established protocols, engaging in disrespectful or insolent behavior towards superiors, or exhibiting a disregard for established rules and regulations.
Insubordination can have significant negative consequences within an organization. It erodes discipline, weakens the hierarchical structure, and undermines the efficiency and smooth functioning of the system. It can lead to a breakdown of trust between superiors and subordinates, hampering teamwork and cooperation.
To address insubordination, organizations may need to take disciplinary action including verbal or written warnings, reprimands, suspension, or even termination of employment, depending on the severity and repeated occurrence of the behavior.

Etymology of INSUBORDINATIONS
The word "insubordinations" is derived from the combination of two words: "insubordination" and the plural suffix "-s".
The term "insubordination" itself has Latin origins. It is derived from the Latin words "in" meaning "not" or "un-" and "subordinare" meaning "to place under, subordinate". In Latin, "subordinare" is a combination of "sub" meaning "under" and "ordinare" meaning "to order". Therefore, "insubordination" in Latin can be roughly translated as "not putting under order" or "not submitting to authority".
Adding the plural suffix "-s" to "insubordination" creates "insubordinations" which refers to multiple instances or acts of insubordination.
