ABSTRACT

Assessments are commonly used in organizational behavior management (OBM) to identify performance targets, determine environmental variables contributing to poor performance, and devise appropriate interventions. This paper describes the role of assessment at the individual performer level in OBM and the assessment process. It also reviews four common types of OBM assessments: historical assessments, functional assessments, preference assessments, and procedural acceptability and discusses the research support, weaknesses, and opportunities for future research for each. Finally, we conclude with recommendations for the future of assessment in OBM, including incorporating technology, using ongoing question-asking to informally assess performance and the environment, developing and validating survey instruments and other assessment tools, and attending to cultural variables in assessments.

摘要

评估通常用于组织行为管理 (OBM) 以识别绩效目标、确定导致绩效不佳的环境变量并设计适当的干预措施。本文描述了评估在 OBM 和评估过程中个人执行者级别的作用。它还回顾了四种常见的 OBM 评估类型：历史评估、功能评估、偏好评估和程序可接受性，并讨论了每种类型的研究支持、弱点和未来研究的机会。最后，我们对 OBM 评估的未来提出了建议，包括结合技术、使用持续提问来非正式地评估绩效和环境、开发和验证调查工具和其他评估工具，
