Examples of behavior in the following topics:
-
- Operant conditioning is a form of learning in which a person changes his behavior because of the results of his behavior.
- According to this theory, a person changes his behavior because of the results of his behavior.
- Extinction: no event follows; the behavior has no consequences.
- This will increase the frequency at which the behavior occurs.
- This will increase the frequency at which the behavior occurs.
-
- Organizational behavior is the field of study that investigates how organizational structures affect behavior within organizations.
- Organizational behavior studies the impact individuals, groups, and structures have on human behavior within organizations.
- "Micro" organizational behavior refers to individual and group dynamics in organizations.
- Organizational behavior also deals heavily in culture.
- Understanding and defining these work cultures and the behavioral implications they embed organizationally is also a central topic in organizational behavior.
-
- Behavioral science uses research and the scientific method to determine and understand behavior in the workplace.
- Behavioral science uses research and the scientific method to determine and understand behavior in the workplace.
- Many of the theories in the behavioral perspective are included in the behavioral-science approach to management.
- Behavioral science within the business management environment is a specific application of this field, and employs a number of specific types of behavioral observations.
- Combined, the behavioral-science approach is broadly about understanding individual and group behavioral dynamics to initiate meaningful organizational development.
-
- Values influence behavior because people emulate the conduct they hold valuable.
- While a company cannot do anything about the influences that shape a person's values and behavior before hiring, the organization can try to influence employee behavior in the workplace.
- If people see that certain behaviors are rewarded, then they may decide to alter their behavior and in turn alter their values.
- In addition, a gap sometimes exists between a person's values and behavior.
- Such an organization promotes passion and positive behavior in their employees.
-
- Attitudes can positively or negatively affect a person's behavior.
- Attitude and behavior interact differently based upon the attitude in question.
- Attitudes can be infectious and can influence the behavior of those around them.
- One key to altering an individual's behavior is consistency.
- Explain how differing attitudes can have a meaningful effect on employee behavior
-
- Punishment is the imposition of a negative consequence with the goal of reducing or stopping someone's undesirable behavior.
- Punishment is a term used in the context of behavioral analysis and in a specific kind of intentional behavior change known as operant conditioning.
- It is a process of decreasing the incidence of a (measurable) behavior.
- According to deterrence theory, the awareness of a punishment will prevent people from performing the behavior.
- This can be accomplished either through punishing someone immediately after the undesirable behavior so that they are reluctant to perform the behavior again or through educating people about the punishment preemptively so they are reluctant to perform the behavior at all.
-
- Behavior modification was first introduced in psychology as a collection of behavioral change techniques to increase or decrease the frequency of behaviors.
- In psychology, behavioral modification was made popular by B.
- Behavioral modification includes altering an individual's behavior through positive and negative reinforcement.
- The process of behavioral modification in the workplace focuses on identifying the frequency of certain performance-related behavior, as well as determining what started or triggered that specific behavior.
- His theories are still used in behavior modification today.
-
- Reinforcement is a process of strengthening desirable behaviors, often through the use of rewards.
- Reinforcement is a term used in the context of behavioral analysis and in a specific kind of intentional behavior change known as operant conditioning.
- It is a process of increasing the incidence of a (measurable) behavior.
- In reinforcement, the rate of the target behavior is increased by giving a reward (i.e., "positive reinforcement") or by removing an unpleasant stimulus (i.e., "negative reinforcement") immediately or shortly after each occurrence of the behavior.
- This soldier reinforces her dog's desirable behavior by giving it a treat.
-
- The Michigan behavioral studies are an important link in the ongoing development of behavioral theory in a leadership framework.
- Individual ideas, actions, and behaviors have been identified as indicating leadership within societal structures.
- Leadership research continues as scholars observe, identify, and promote the emergence of new leadership styles and behaviors in the 21st century.
- The studies also identified three critical characteristics of effective leaders: task-oriented behavior, relationship-oriented behavior, and participative leadership.
- Discuss the Michigan Leadership Studies generated in the 1950s and 1960s in the broader context of behavioral approaches to leadership
-
- Behaviorism initiated a focus on the psychological and human factors influencing workers.
- These three individuals wrote about the importance of considering behavioral aspects of workers in addition to the efficiency of workers.
- Her contributions aided the beginning of the behaviorism movement of management by presenting the worker as more than just a machine.
- Follett, Munsterberg, and Mayo each introduced important components and ideas into the behaviorism perspective of management.
- Compare and contrast the three most famous pioneers and founders of the behavioral perspective in organizational theory
