User:April Sala/Organizational behavior management

The content in this published article is relevant to the title. It is my opinion that the topics under the Management section could potentially be developed further. I have found the article to be neutrally written. The article seems to be thoroughly cited and reliable with further investigation applicable. I have not found anything in the article that would lead me to believe that there are any equity gaps. I did notice a couple areas that my need to be revised for grammar.

History
OBM is a subdiscipline of ABA, thus its emergence stems from the foundations of behavior analysis developed by B.F. Skinner. Skinner’s book Science and Human Behavior, published in 1953, served as the foundation for OBM by highlighting the use of money to increase desired behaviors, wage schedules, and higher levels of praise for desired behaviors as opposed to undesired behaviors. Skinner’s greatest contributions to the emergence of OBM however was introducing programmed instruction to the educational system. Aspects of programmed instruction proved beneficial in organizational settings, particularly training. This later became the first application of behavioral principles in the organizational settings.

Emergence of research in OBM sparked in the 1960s with publication of Owen Aldis’ paper “Of Pigeons and Men” in which he proposes using reinforcement schedules in industries as the first OBM article published in the 1961 Harvard Business Review.
