The Sacred and the Secular
نویسنده
چکیده
From our perspective, one clear trend is that OBM appears to be undergoing a period of “secularism” wherein some of its more “sacred” interventions are being questioned. Numbered among these “sacred” traditions are the regular use by OBM practitioners of feedback (Alvero, Bucklin, & Austin, 2001; Balcazar, Hopkins, & Suarez, 1986; Kluger & DiNisi, 1996), goal setting (Fellner & Sulzer-Azaroff, 1984), and social reinforcement (O’Hara, Johnson, & Beehr, 1985). Of these, feedback arguably is the most foundational in that it typically has served as the first treatment upon which other OBM interventions are superimposed (following a components-analysis-like method).
