Organizational behavior management in business and industry / by James J. Vorce. by Vorce James J. Subjects Organizational behavior   Behavior modification   Management   MSEM Thesis. Description:  iii, 44 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. Contents:  Introduction -- Historical perspectives -- Definitions and uses -- Terminology -- Methods of assessment and analysis -- Typical industrial application -- Pros, cons and misconceptions -- Summary and conclusion. What is the dominant philosophy of American Management? Many feel it is the carrot-and-stick philosophy, reward and punishment (Levison, 1973). "Several theories of human motivation (Maslow, 1970; Herzberg, 1966; McGregor, 1966) have led to considerable laboratory research, many surveys of what workers say about their jobs and about management, and a few attempts to change management and work practices in hopes of influencing productivity. However, research has not generally established the validity or practical utility of these theories (Hopkins and Sears, 1982)." The problem is that most of these approaches do not use precise scientific measurement and observation (Davis, 1981). And if a structured method is developed, often managers lack the formal training to use the method effectively (Miller, 1978). Although the concepts have been around for nearly a century, it has only been within the last two decades that the principles of behavioral psychology and the methods of behavior modification have been applied to industry and business. This new approach is called Organizational Behavior Management (OBM).   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .V67 1989 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
