  1. ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR Chapter 2 Foundations of Individual Behavior Chapter 2

  2. Ability, Intellect, and Intelligence Ability An individual’s capacity to perform the various tasks in a job Intellectual Ability The capacity to do mental activities Multiple Intelligences Intelligence contains four subparts: cognitive, social, emotional, and cultural Chapter 2

  3. Dimensions of Intellectual Ability • Number aptitude • Verbal comprehension • Perceptual speed • Inductive reasoning • Deductive reasoning • Spatial visualization • Memory E X H I B I T 2–1 Chapter 2

  4. Physical Abilities Physical Abilities The capacity to do tasks demanding stamina, dexterity, strength, and similar characteristics Chapter 2

  5. Nine Physical Abilities • Strength Factors • Dynamic strength • Trunk strength • Static strength • Explosive strength • Flexibility Factors • Extent flexibility • Dynamic flexibility • Other Factors • Body coordination • Balance • Stamina Source: Adapted from HRMagazine published by the Society for Human Resource Management, Alexandria, VA. E X H I B I T 2–2 Chapter 2

  6. Employee’sAbilities Job’s AbilityRequirements The Ability-Job Fit Ability-JobFit Chapter 2

  7. Biographical Characteristics Biographical Characteristics Personal characteristics—such as age, gender, race and tenure—that are objective and easily obtained from personnel records Chapter 2

  8. Learning Learning Any relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience • Learning • Involves change • Is relatively permanent • Is acquired through experience Chapter 2

  9. Theories of Learning Classical Conditioning A type of conditioning in which an individual responds to some stimulus that would not ordinarily produce such a response • Key Concepts • Unconditioned stimulus • Unconditioned response • Conditioned stimulus • Conditioned response Chapter 2

  10. Theories of Learning Operant Conditioning A type of conditioning in which desired voluntary behavior leads to a reward or prevents a punishment • Key Concepts • Reflexive (unlearned) behavior • Conditioned (learned) behavior • Reinforcement Chapter 2

  11. Theories of Learning Social-Learning Theory People can learn through observation and direct experience • Key Concepts • Attentional processes • Retention processes • Motor reproduction processes • Reinforcement processes Chapter 2

  12. Theories of Learning Shaping Behavior Systematically reinforcing each successive step that moves an individual closer to the desired response • Key Concepts • Reinforcement is required to change behavior. • Some rewards are more effective than others. • The timing of reinforcement affects learning speed and permanence. Chapter 2

  13. Types of Reinforcement • Positive reinforcement • Providing a reward for a desired behavior • Negative reinforcement • Removing an unpleasant consequence when the desired behavior occurs • Punishment • Applying an undesirable condition to eliminate an undesirable behavior • Extinction • Withholding reinforcement of a behavior to cause its cessation Chapter 2

  14. Schedules of Reinforcement Continuous Reinforcement A desired behavior is reinforced each time it is demonstrated Intermittent Reinforcement A desired behavior is reinforced often enough to make the behavior worth repeating but not every time it is demonstrated Chapter 2

  15. Schedules of Reinforcement Fixed-Interval Schedule Rewards are spaced at uniform time intervals Variable-Interval Schedule Rewards are initiated after a fixed or constant number of responses Chapter 2

  16. Fixed-ratio Schedules of Reinforcement E X H I B I T 2–4 Chapter 2

  17. Intermittent Schedules of Reinforcement E X H I B I T 2–5 Chapter 2

  18. Intermittent Schedules of Reinforcement E X H I B I T 2–5 (cont’d) Chapter 2

  19. Behavior Modification OB Mod The application of reinforcement concepts to individuals in the work setting • Five Step Problem-Solving Model • Identify critical behaviors • Develop baseline data • Identify behavioral consequences • Develop and apply intervention • Evaluate performance improvement Chapter 2
