Reflect Module:
In your reflection paper for this module, put together a potential reinforcer array that you could use in an organizational setting. Include at least 10 items/experiences that you would include, and keep the budget below ~$20 for each. Why did you select these items/experiences? What variables discussed in this week's lecture did you take into consideration when making these selections?
Part 1: Introduction:
This module will discuss common challenges associated with determining what staff wants to work for, and provide a structure for creating categories of reinforcers based upon the non-profit literature. Additionally, countless different forms of reinforcers will be shared, along with a review of the literature associated with best practices in staff preference assessment. Finally, an emphasis will be made on the idea of moving beyond contrived reinforcers to creating work environments that eliminate the role of aversive control as an essential component of leadership behavior.
