Study Notes

Guidelines for Punishing

Ensure employees have email access, knowledge of HR policies, and understanding of employee benefits.
Deliver disciplinary actions close in time to the behavior, targeting specific actions clearly for the recipient.
Present consequences in an objective and impersonal manner.
Listen to employee explanations before taking punitive actions.

Extinction

Extinction occurs when a behavior is followed by the removal of a previously encountered positive consequence.
Reduces the likelihood of the behavior being repeated.
Managers must identify the reinforcers for behaviors that must be eliminated, ensuring those consequences are controllable.

Conditions for Learning

Participants should understand the purpose behind their learning to enhance motivation.
Learning is enhanced when individuals can relate new information to their own past experiences.

ADDIE Framework

ADDIE stands for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.
This learning development model is comprehensive but time-consuming compared to the SAM model.
Focuses on achieving effective outcomes in the first implementation.

Self-Efficacy in Learning

Defined as an individual's belief in their ability to perform specific tasks in various situations.
Higher self-efficacy correlates with improved performance when ability levels are equal.

Definitions of Learning

Learning is the process of modifying behavior based on positive or negative experiences.
It entails a relatively permanent change in behavior through reinforcement.

Reinforcement Types

Positive Reinforcement: Behavior followed by a rewarding consequence, increasing the likelihood of repetition.
Negative Reinforcement: Behavior followed by the withdrawal of unpleasant consequences, also increasing repetition likelihood.

Difference Between Negative Reinforcement and Punishment

Negative reinforcement aims to increase a behavior by removing unpleasant stimuli, while punishment seeks to stop unwanted behavior with unpleasant consequences.

Employee Onboarding

Onboarding is essential for helping new hires acclimate to their roles and ensuring their success.
Distinct from training, onboarding involves coordination between Human Resources and management to achieve objectives.
Objectives include making new employees feel welcomed and providing essential information for effective job performance.
