A People-Based Approach to OBM: Synergy, Not "Sin"-ergy
Wiegand, Douglas M.
Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, v24 n1-2 p179-187 Jul 2005
This rejoinder discusses some common points raised in the commentaries of this special issue of JOBM, including (1) different definitions of positive and negative, (2) use of the terms reinforcement and establishing operation, and (3) concerns over the abandonment of behavior analysis for mentalistic research. In addition, a people-based approach to psychology is introduced and advocated as a leading-edge approach to understanding and improving organizational behavior.
