Question

Your team members need some change in behaviour, you discussed this with your friend John. John recommends Law of Effects he felt it works on humans very strongly. John couldn’t remember the theory. Could you predict which theory is John referring to, who proposed this theory. Which four methods can be used in this theory for controlling behaviour of employees? 

Answer 1

Changing one's behavior is never easy. In many cases, it's not the change itself that's difficult; it's the opposition to change that's the main obstacle. If members of a team are unwilling to change their behavior, the manager or team leader may have a difficult time. Even when they appear to be innocuous, some modifications can be dangerous to team members. Behavioral management theory would be more effective in this scenario. This theory is focused with understanding worker motivation, including expectations, wants and interests, and group dynamics, in order to manage productivity. Mary Parker Follett, Elton Mayo, and Abraham Maslow were all contributors to behavioral management theory. According to behavioral theorists, the greater one's understanding of human behavior, such as conflict, the better.
