Each residence was selected based upon poor staff performances related to consistent, accurate data collection. Written daily narratives compiled by the staff on each shift were compared to designated behavioral data collection forms in each residence to determine the degree of correspondence between the two measures. The written measures were entered digitally in the intranet system that was accessed by all staff. The Performance Diagnostic Checklist- Human Services (PDC-HS) was used to assess each of the environments with respect to their data collection behavior. The PDC-HS indicated the use of antecedent based strategies with the staff in the homes in order to increase their data collection behavior. A multiple baseline design across three separate residences was employed to examine the efficacy of the identified interventions. The results demonstrated significant increases in data collection across each of the residences that participated in the study.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47949286","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}

Participants consisted of three individuals identified as exhibiting low performance relative to peers. Prior to the intervention, there was a notable difference between low-performers and high-performers. Following the intervention, the number of tasks increased for all three low-performers, reaching levels that were similar to their high-performing peers. Results suggest that for simple and straightforward tasks, certain applications of social comparison feedback can be useful for increasing performance in low-performers despite initial discrepancies in performance.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46399339","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}

Each person is living an integrated life where all of their environments (resources, physical environment, psychosocial environment, responsibilities/demands) interact to impact their safety, health, and well-being. Total Worker Health® is an approach developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to address such interactions, and to advance science and practice for protecting workers’ safety, health, and well-being. The Total Worker Health (TWH) approach represents an expansion of traditional occupational safety and health research and practice, with strong safety protections for workers as its foundation. The current paper provides an introduction to TWH, including: (1) Significance, (2) Historical Background, (3) Hierarchy of Controls, (4) Review of TWH Interventions, and (5) Future Opportunities. The reciprocal and interactive perspective of TWH is consistent with Skinnerian and other approaches to behavioral science, as well as organizational systems analysis approaches. With its behavioral and systems analysis roots, and associated historical emphasis on environmental conditions and interventions, the Organizational Behavior Management community can make great and important contributions in the TWH domain.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48653159","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}

Order selectors in distribution centers that use voice-directed systems (listening to instructions via a headset and speaking into a microphone and receiving immediate audio feedback) were tracked for units per hour performance of products selected for store orders. The voice-directed application was enhanced with a personal performance productivity prompt so that each order selector now heard their units per hour performance after each completed store order assignment. Upon activation of the newly developed personal performance productivity prompt, selector performance increased to match and exceed the labor standards established for three warehouse zones (accessories, batteries, and tires). This is an example in which an Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) professional can play a vital role in helping large industrial settings adapt to new technologies for the workforce, in this case, for increased performance.","PeriodicalId":51667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46775823","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}
