OB MODIFICATION


Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) is defined as the development and evaluation of performance procedures using the principles of behavior modification (Patrick & Riggar, 1985).  The focus of OBM is on improving individual and group performance through behavior alteration.  Usually the application of OBM requires direct observation of behaviors and tracking them over time.  Patrick et. al. (1985) reports successful use of OBM in the areas of training and development, problem identification, absenteeism and tardiness, personal assessment, and accountability and program evaluation.
