• Distortion – occurs in the evaluation process when an improper emphasis is given to various job elements

• Setting specific performance goals to be met results in greater performance improvement than discussions of more general goals

7-14Multisource Feedback: A 360-Degree ApproachMultisource Feedback: A 360-Degree Approach
• 90 percent of Fortune 1000 firms use some form of multisource program
• The increasing use of multisource programs is the result of calls for more• fairness• clarity• credibility
• Everyone in the person’s full domain could serve as an evaluator

1. Use 360-degree feedback primarily for individual development
2. Link the feedback process with the overall strategy and direction of the firm
3. Exert administrative control over every aspect of the 360-degree process

Reinforcement TheoryReinforcement Theory
• Reinforcement is the most important principle of learning
• Desirable or reinforcing consequences will increase the strength of a behavior and increase the probability of being repeated
• Undesirable or punishment consequences will decrease the strength of a response and decrease its probability of being repeated
McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
7-18
Example:Example:
• Positive reinforcement is when you reward a behavior to encourage it (for instance, giving a treat to a boy for finishing his chores).
• Negative reinforcement is when you remove something bad in order to reinforce a behavior (for instance, ungrounding a boy who finishes his chores).
• There are also negative and positive punishments... giving or taking away something in order to make someone do something less. Grounding a boy who tears up his sister's drawing is positive punishment (positive because it is something you add to the equation... you add the grounding). Negative punishment would be taking away the boy's treat because of the same thing (removal of a positive reinforcer).

7-19Reinforcement Theory: Operant ConditioningReinforcement Theory: Operant Conditioning
• Operant conditioning – attempts to influence behavior through the use of rewards and punishments
• Operants – behaviors that can be controlled by altering the consequences that follow them
• Most workplace behaviors are operants

Reinforcement SchedulesReinforcement Schedules
Schedule Description Organizational Example
Continuous Reinforcer follows every response
Praise after every new sale and order
Fixed interval Response after specific time period is reinforced
Weekly, bimonthly, monthly paycheck
Variable interval Response after varying period of time (an average) is reinforced
Transfers, unexpected bonuses, promotions, recognition
Fixed ratio A fixed number of responses must occur before reinforcement
Piece rate, commission on units sold
Variable ratio A varying number (average) of responses must occur before reinforcement
Random checks for quality yield praise for doing good work

7-24Lawler’s Conclusions on Satisfaction and Rewards (1 of 2)
Lawler’s Conclusions on Satisfaction and Rewards (1 of 2)
1. Satisfaction with a reward is a function both of how much is received and of how much the individual feels should be received
2. An individual’s feelings of satisfaction are influenced by comparisons with what happens to others
3. Satisfaction is influenced by how satisfied employees are with both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards

Lawler’s Conclusions on Satisfaction and Rewards (2 of 2)
4. People differ in the rewards they desire and in how important different rewards are to them
5. Some extrinsic rewards are satisfying because they lead to other rewards

7-26Management Considerations for Developing and Distributing Rewards
Management Considerations for Developing and Distributing Rewards• The rewards available must be sufficient
to satisfy basic human needs• Individuals tend to compare their rewards
with those of others• The process by which rewards are
distributed should be perceived as fair• The managers distributing the rewards
must recognize individual differences

• Line of sight – means that the employee perceives that there is a “real” linkage between his or her performance and the rewards received
• For extrinsic rewards, organizations need to have systems that clearly tie rewards to desired performance
