You are the supervisor of a large plant and have a significant number of employees who are not performing well. Which of these techniques would you use to deal with this problem and explain the basis for your selection? The details of the situation are intentionally left out. I expect you to describe/create the situation and then select one of the techniques you feel would be most effective. Once you have selected the technique, you are then to discuss how you would apply it to the circumstances you created

Explanation / Answer

Operant conditioning (or instrumental conditioning) is a form of learning in which an individual's behaviour is modified by its consequences; the behaviour may change in form, frequency, or strength. A form of operant conditioning that has been used successfully to shape organizational behavior is known as Organization Behavior Modification. I would use OBM to deal with this problem.
