29. Goal Setting Theory
According to Edwin Locke, employees will not be motivated to
work if there is no goals set to achieve. Goals must be clearly
stated for the employees.
31. Operant Conditioning
B.F. Skinner believed we both can control behaviour.
Thus by manipulating the environment, you can
manipulate behaviour.
Defined as: A learning process in which the
consequences which follow a response determine
whether the behaviour will be repeated.
Behaviour will likely be repeated which has reinforced
and tend not to be repeated with punishment.
33. Operant Conditioning
Behavior is controlled by consequences. Key
concepts in operant conditioning are positive
reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive
punishment and negative punishment.
Ex: Driving in emergency lane. If one gets ticket
he/she will refrain from doing it again.
