Behavior modification and human resource accounting as they relate to productivity / by Curtis W. Olsen. by Olsen, Curtis W. Subjects Labor productivity   Behavior modification   Employees -- Training of   MSEM Thesis. Description:  v, 74 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. Contents:  Introduction -- Need for change -- Behavior modification techniques -- Measurement -- Steps for implementation -- Conclusion -- Appendix: Performance review form. Behavior modification techniques are the most readily available and cost effective means for improving productivity. This paper discusses the most important of the techniques, relating all topics to the individual employee and offering specific steps for the development of a more productive environment. Current management styles minimize the value of employee input to decision making and treat workers as disposable commodities. They simplify human behavior, ignoring the complexities of emotional response, and undervalue the importance of performance measurement and its impact on the profitability of the firm. Management time, under present conditions, is spent confronting problems caused by inadequate planning and the lack of personnel motivation techniques. Employment of the following behavior modification techniques will increase worker and management time in such a way that more time will be available for long range planning and personnel development. The building of effective communication and team relation skills lead to positive leadership qualities and ability to respond correctly to various situations. Building self image through positive reinforcement leads to greater worker flexibility in terms of willingness to take on responsibility and accept new tasks, resulting in reduced training time and better employee relations. Formal training programs with recognition of achievement and career guidance demonstrates commitment to employees, boosting employee morale and loyalty. Objective performance review programs help evaluate individual talent and serve as a guide to developing skills which benefit the company as well as aiding in the evaluation of current programs. Implementation of these methods can be expected to improve productivity and profitability of a firm at a minimum cost within a limited amount of time. Planning is required, but the results are well worth it.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .O47 1984 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
