As a natural science it relies on the use of sound experimental research methodology. This methodology has been critical to the field’s success in demonstrating the application of behavioral principles across the basic–translational–applied continuum, from laboratory to natural workplace settings. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of experimental methods commonly used within the field. We attempt to highlight the range and diversity of OBM research by providing examples of different approaches to research and design methodologies. In doing so, we review strengths, limitations, and examples of various single-case and group research designs.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01608061.2020.1869137","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41735056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can be accomplished when measures of consumer behavior inform marketing strategies. Consumer behavior analysis, a field of research that integrates operant behavioral economics and marketing, has developed several measures of consumer buying patterns based on the identification of the types of reinforcement, informational or utilitarian, that are programmed by different products and brands, and of the scope of consumer behavior setting. The present paper describes research that adopted some of these measures and the main results derived from them. Such studies have shown, for instance, that consumers have brand repertoires that include brands offering similar levels of reinforcement, that they tend to change the quantity they buy as a function of package size, price promotions, and utilitarian and informational reinforcement, that consumer individual differences tend to remain relatively stable across time, and that more open settings increase product search duration, decrease the essential value of brands and increase consumers’ reports related to dominance of shopping environments and approach responses. Moreover, these measures of consumer behavior can be integrated with measures of firm behavior to evaluate firm performance, on the basis of an operant interpretation of firm behavior. This paper explains some of these integrated measures and describes results that have shown, for instance, how increases in spending in marketing activities is related to increases in profitability.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01608061.2020.1860860","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43509230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While feedback is generally considered effective, characteristics of its delivery can impact the degree to which it changes behavior. One characteristic that has received increased attention is sequence of positive and constructive comments. While the feedback sandwich (positive – constructive – positive) is commonly used, this sequence has come under recent criticism. The present study compares two sequences of post-session feedback (sandwich, constructive-positive) and a within-session feedback control while training participants to implement a simple behavioral assessment. Within-session feedback produced the highest implementation fidelity during the initial role play, but there were no significant differences by the third and final role-play. There was also no difference in training satisfaction or feedback satisfaction across conditions. Taken together, these findings suggest that sequence of positive and constructive comments may not significantly alter the effectiveness of feedback in the context of training a new skill in an analog setting when multiple practice sessions are utilized.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01608061.2020.1862019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43339504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of our ongoing special series of manuscripts which will also be featured as chapters in the upcoming text Handbook of Organizational Performance: Foundations and Advances, Starling describes how organizational behavior management (OBM) can contribute to education. OBM has something to offer all levels of education, from pre-school to graduate school. This paper nicely describes these contributions. This issue also includes a number of empirical studies examining a wide variety of topics. Nastasi et al. highlight a relatively neglected area of research within OBM: the collection of data on social validity. Specifically, Nastasi et al. provide an analysis of procedural acceptability trends in JOBM. This paper reminds us of the importance of taking our participant’s and client’s perspective into account when designing and implementing individual and organizational assessment and intervention procedures. Our society is becoming more and more dependent on technology. Mailey et al. highlight this by describing the use of computer-based instruction to teach staff members to implement behavioral skills training (BST) in a human service setting. Kingsdorf et al. add to our knowledge on teaching others to implement BST, this time in Europe. Finally, Bottini et al. compare various methods of feedback to train participants to perform a straightforward task. Specifically, the authors compared different sequences of positive and constructive comments delivered to performers. One of these sequences consisted of what is commonly referred to as the feedback sandwich (i.e., a positive-constructive-positive sequence). It is nice to see OBMers tackle this commonly used form of feedback. Check out the results of this study – they are interesting!

However, little is known regarding the use of procedural acceptability assessments across studies employing OBM methodology. In the present review, we evaluated the use of procedural acceptability measures across all articles in the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management (JOBM) for the first decade (1977–1986) and the most recent decade (2010 to 2019). We coded each article for industry, organizational performance problem type, participant type and reported use of procedural acceptability measures. Formal procedural acceptability measures were reported in 20% of articles included from the first decade and 35% of articles included from the most recent decade of JOBM. The use of procedural acceptability measures appears to be on an increasing trend, but the frequency of reported use of acceptability measures differed across industries. Furthermore, most articles included limited information on how acceptability was assessed. Unique considerations for the use of procedural acceptability measures in OBM and recommendations are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01608061.2020.1853000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45093917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesize that an integration of OBM principles and applications has the potential to help educators address multiple critical issues in the field of education, specifically: (a) educator needs at the individual-level, such as educator burnout, engagement, and performance; (b) implementation fidelity of system-wide initiatives and evidence-based interventions; and (c) educator needs at the leadership-level, particularly the training of educational leaders. Recommendations for how OBM researchers and practitioners can expand engagement with educational settings are explored.

Most commonly, parking citations are assigned to illegally parked vehicles. This may decrease illegal parking but increases student/faculty frustration. The current study, incorporating a reversal design, distributed performance feedback to illegally parked vehicles in a university parking lot. The feedback informed drivers of failure to park in a legal parking spot and informed them of where to park legally in the future. Over the course of four semesters, feedback was shown to be an effective complement to parking citations. While parking citations may have reduced illegal parking somewhat, the addition of performance feedback increased the effectiveness of citations and led to fewer illegally parked vehicles overall.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01608061.2020.1823931","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43970959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
