Chapter 8 Discussion

1. Rating Behavior: there are a couple different ways to measure behavior. Critical-incident method, Behaviorally anchored rating scale (BARS), Behavioral observation scale (BOS), and Organizational behavior modification (OBM). All of these ways helps companies

2. I know that for me my employers have always just interviewed me and then as the time goes on they make the changes that are needed for the company to run the way they want. They might ask me to change some things and then see how well I do it and how well it works for both of us.

3. I think the point that I thought was the most effective is the OBM. the three things that happen in this one are:

1. Define a set of key behaviors necessary for job performance.

2. Use a measurement system to assess whether the employee exhibits the key behavior.

3. Inform employees of the key behaviors, perhaps in terms of goals for how often to exhibit the behaviors.

4. Provide feedback and reinforcement based on employees' behavior.

4. How is the most effective way to find out future employees behaviors before you hire them?
