Reinforcement Theory

Reinforcement theory explains how behavior is influenced by its consequences, categorizing behavior as desirable or undesirable. Desirable behavior is reinforced through positive or negative reinforcement, while undesirable behavior is managed through extinction or punishment. The theory also explores reinforcement schedules, including continuous, fixed ratio, fixed interval, and variable ratio schedules. These concepts are applied in organizational settings through behavioral modification, which involves identifying behaviors, setting baselines, and implementing interventions to modify behavior effectively.
