Abstract The authors evaluated whether an incentive raffle increased teachers' use of written praise and appropriate student behavior. Participants included 93 staff members and 755 students at an elementary school in Central Illinois. School staff received didactic instruction for the importance of using praise, and praise notes were measured on a weekly basis by praise type, staff member type, and student type. Results indicated that the faculty incentive produced medium effects for praise for students, but did not impact the number of office discipline referrals. Staff members reported praise notes to be an acceptable school-wide system for managing student behavior, but had mixed feelings regarding faculty receiving incentives for writing praise notes. Implications as well as future research are discussed.

利用员工激励措施来提高全校表扬

摘要作者评估了奖励抽奖是否增加了教师对书面表扬和适当学生行为的使用。参加人员包括93名工作人员和755名在伊利诺伊州中部小学的学生。学校教职员工接受了关于使用赞美的重要性的教学指导，并且每周根据赞美类型，员工类型和学生类型对称赞笔记进行衡量。结果表明，教师激励对学生的称赞产生了中等效果，但并未影响办公室学科推荐的数量。工作人员报告称赞誉笔记是学校范围内管理学生行为的一种可以接受的系统，但是对于教职员工获得奖励以编写赞誉笔记的动机，人们的看法不一。讨论了影响和未来的研究。
