Question

1.      In our assigned reading this week, we learned about reinforcement theory, which was developed by B. F. Skinner. Sometimes theoretical concepts such as this can be a bit more difficult to translate into application. Take a moment and share how you believe reinforcement theory applies to the workplace.

2.       What are some things that motivate people the most at work (money, vacation time, flexible schedule, title, etc.)?

Now, let’s think of how we can apply this to playing role as a student. Think of something that you really want, it can be a specific grade on an assignment or even a night out, anything that you can think of that would be a motivating factor for you. What does that positive reinforcement look like? Will that help to keep that student on track for the short-term or long-term? What other types of positive reinforcement do you believe would work well to keep the person going throughout this course and degree program Online?

Explanation / Answer

1. Reinforcement theories work by motivating the person, either to promote a behavior or reduce a behavior. This helps a person in carrying out their actions. An example of reinforcement in workplace is appreciation and bonuses. When a person carries an act and they keep getting incentives, they tend to perform those actions in a manner that is better and that makes him perform those actions better. These would be referred to as positive reinforcements which help in increase of productivity as well as boosting the morale of a person. The employees develop a sense of self worth along with feeling that their work is being appraised. This makes them think that the employee should be making progress and their self doubts would be removed.
