Abstract:

Experiments have been conducted in the reinforcement of human behavior for many years. Yet, despite its proven potential, few utilizations have been made of the results available in the motivation of subordinates. This paper is the result of a collection of raw data from texts, experiments, periodicals and interviews with prominent personages in the field of psychology, education and industry. The data has been condensed into a recommended course for industrial education of all levels of management. It is presented in lesson plan form with supplementing notes to the instructor on the broad areas of response reinforcement. Particular emphasis has been placed on making management aware of the potential of response reinforcement, on the mechanics of utilization and upon expected results from various techniques available.
