Hello Ram,
This reply is in reference to the Case of Sameer Mehta. In my opinion, one can try to analyze the case with the help of Organizational Behavior Modification or OB Mod, as it is commonly referred to. According to Luthans and Kreitner (1985), OB Mod involves the systematic reinforcement or strengthening of desirable behavior of employees and non-reinforcement or punishment of unwanted behavior exhibited by organizational members.
The application of OB Mod involves the following steps:
1. The identification of the critical behavior patterns of the employee that lead to good job performance.
2. Recording of the baseline frequency of those particular behavior patterns that are currently exhibited.
3. A functional analysis of the desired behavior is then made. That is, the antecedents and consequences of the behavior are analyzed.
4. An intervention strategy is then developed to increase the frequency of occurrence of the desired behavior and decrease the undesired ones. (Reinforcers are to be determined in this step).
5. Evidence of the results of the reinforcement strategies is examined to see if the strategy worked, and if some further fine-tuning is needed.
Hope now you can handle the three questions in the case. For further assistance, please go through the chapter "Reinforcement and Motivation - Performance Relationship" by Uma Shekharan.
