Biographical CharacteristicsBiographical Characteristics
Biographical Characteristics:
Personal characteristics—such as age, gender, and marital status—that are objective and easily obtained from personnel’s records.
Age. It is usually said that age has no direct relationship with productivity. Older workers are less likely to resign and married employees have fewer absences, less turnover and report higher job satisfaction than the unmarried ones.
Gender. There are few important differences between men and women that do affect their job performance; however, these differences should not be used as discriminatory tool.

Biographical CharacteristicsBiographical Characteristics
Marital Status. Although married female employees have specific problems that affect their job; there are indications that they have fewer absences, undergo less turnover and show more job satisfaction.
Tenure/ Seniority. There is positive relationship between productivity and seniority. Similarly, old employees have less turnover ‘past history is the best predictor of future performance’.

Classical Conditioning. A type of conditioning in
which an individual responds to some stimulus that
would not ordinarily produce such a response.
Learning a conditioned response involves building up an association between a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus.
When the stimuli, one compelling and the other one neutral, are paired, the neutral one becomes a conditioned stimulus and, hence, takes on the properties of the unconditioned stimulus.
Classical conditioning is passive — something happens, and we react in a specific way. It is elicited in response to a specific, identifiable event.

Operant Conditioning:
A type of conditioning in which desired voluntary behaviorleads to a reward or prevents a punishment. Tenets of Operant Conditioning are:
• Behavior is learned.
• People are likely to engage in desired behaviors if they are positively reinforced for doing so.
• Rewards are most effective if they immediately follow the desired response.
• Any situation in which it is either explicitly stated or implicitly suggested that reinforcements are contingent on some action on your part involves the use of
operant learning.

Social-Learning Theory:
People can learn through observation and direct experience. Key Concepts are:
• Attentional processes. People learn from a model only then they recognize and pay attention to its critical features.
• Retention processes. A model’s influence will depend on how well the individual remembers the model’s action after the model is no longer readily available.
• Motor reproduction processes. After a person has seen a new behavior by observing the model, the watching must be converted to doing.
• Reinforcement processes. Individuals will be motivated to exhibit the modeled behavior if positive incentives or rewards are provided.

Shaping Behavior:
Systematically reinforcing each successive step that moves an individual closer to the desired response.

Types of ReinforcementTypes of ReinforcementTypes of ReinforcementTypes of Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement:
Providing a reward for a desired behavior.– If an employee is on time every day during the week
and, as a result, receives extra pay equivalent to one hour of normal work, the employee has received positive reinforcement of his or her good attendance by receiving a desired award.
Negative reinforcement:
Removing an unpleasant consequence when the desired behavior occurs.– An employee who arrives at work on time every day
may do so to avoid a supervisor’s criticism. Thus, the potential for criticism leads to the employee’s taking the desired action.

Types of ReinforcementTypes of ReinforcementTypes of ReinforcementTypes of Reinforcement
Punishment:
Applying an undesirable condition to eliminate an undesirable behavior.– Action taken to repel a person from undesirable action is
punishment. A grocery manager may punish a stock clerk for leaving the stockroom dirty by forcing her to stay after work and clean it up.
Extinction:
Withholding reinforcement of a behavior to cause its cessation.– Behavior can also be modified through a technique known
as extinction, which is the absence of an expected response to a situation. The hope is that unreinforced behavior will not be repeated.

Schedules of ReinforcementSchedules of ReinforcementSchedules of ReinforcementSchedules of Reinforcement
Continuous Reinforcement:
A desired behavior is reinforced each time it is demonstrated.
Intermittent Reinforcement:
A desired behavior is reinforced often enough to make the behavior worth repeating but not every time it is demonstrated.

– The use of punishment can be counter-productive.

– OB MOD methods improve training effectiveness.
