ABSTRACT Self-management can be a cost-effective method to promote employee behavior change. This article will provide an overview of self-management as it applies to business and industry. The general process will be described along with techniques to increase success. Relevant examples and literature will be introduced to enhance understanding of self-management applications in organizational behavior management (OBM). Benefits will be discussed along with professions that may be ideal for a self-management approach to performance improvement.

Issue 4 of Volume 41 includes four interesting studies! First, Guadalupe and Alvero report on a feedback study in which they examined the effects of feedback alone, feedback with a goal, and feedback with praise on accuracy and speed of performing a typing task. The results are very interesting – check it out! Next, Brown describes the use of a pictorially-enhanced self-instruction packet to improve timesheet completion among staff in a clinic. Selfinstruction materials are easy to create, easy to use, inexpensive, and, at least in this case, an effective training method for many employees. Brown describes the details of this package in this study. In the next study, Goomas and Ludwig evaluate a technology-based system of providing real-time feedback to improve food safety inspections at a processing plant. Technology-based interventions are becoming increasingly common in organizational behavior management; this study provides a great model for others. Finally, in a Report from the Field, Pugliese et al. describe the assessment and improvement of a safety concern in a school. Specifically, employees were not consistently using the proper protective equipment when working with students. Based on assessment results, these researchers implemented a variety of interventions across different classrooms to increase safe performance. I also want to again highlight a Call for Papers for a future issue of JOBM. I invite authors to submit manuscripts for a special series or issue on Supervision. Manuscripts on any aspect of supervision, including the effects of the frequency, quality, and nature of supervision, comparisons of supervision models, evaluation of effective supervision structure and components, and supervision ethics, are appropriate. Although empirical submissions are preferred, discussion articles will also be considered. The target date for submission of manuscripts is January 15, 2022 or earlier. These submissions will undergo an expedited peer-review process, and the goal will be to publish accepted manuscripts in Issues 2 or 3 of Volume 42 (2022). Authors are invited to submit manuscripts through the ScholarOne portal. Please note that the manuscript is being submitted as part of the special series on Supervision.

ABSTRACT Food manufacturing companies are challenged with performing quality control testing and inspections so that their product is safe for consumption. If a product does not meet quality control standards during processing, the product must be quickly removed from circulation before it is packaged, selected and shipped to consumers. The accuracy of the food recall is dependent upon tracking multiple sources: ingredients from suppliers, floor-inspections, packaging, storage, truck delivery and customer sales. In the current study, during practice “mock” recalls, the host company never achieved 100% retrieval accuracy from these multiple sources and never within a 2-hour threshold. An intervention for in-process inspections was designed using handheld tablets programmed for inputting quality control testing results, along with immediate visual and audio feedback and near-immediate retrieval of quality control testing results on-demand. Subsequently, “mock” recalls resulted in 100% data retrieval accuracy capturing quality control testing results, within several minutes. Results are discussed in terms of process safety behavioral systems integrated into technology designed to improve consumer safety.

ABSTRACT Despite organizational behavior management placing a great deal of emphasis on interventions that alter consequences for performance, antecedent interventions play an important role in the practice of our field. Antecedent interventions utilizing variables such as goal setting, task clarification, and job aids are common. Each of these variables are examined in terms of research findings and potential behavioral functions. Being well-versed in such outcomes should inform both researchers and practitioners in their efforts to identify efficient and cost-effective solutions for workplace performance.

ABSTRACT Research is needed to identify staff training techniques that optimize training time and do not require the presence of a staff trainer. Asynchronous training procedures, such as video modeling and computer-based instruction, do not require the simultaneous presence of a trainer and trainee, but include different training characteristics that must be evaluated (i.e., active responding during computer-based instruction and non-active responding during video modeling). The purpose of the present study was to compare video modeling and computer-based instruction on trainee implementation of a paired-stimulus preference assessment. Results demonstrated that both training techniques were effective for training staff to implement stimulus preference assessments. Results are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.

ABSTRACT The number of Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs) has grown exponentially over the last two decades, with the majority of practitioners providing services to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. Although there are different funding mechanisms for services provided by a BCBA®, third-party payers and insurance companies are increasingly providing coverage for these services. Clinical documentation, such as session notes on client progress, are typically required by funders of such services. Additionally, complete session notes can lead to effective coordination of care and recording client response to treatment. In this study, a treatment package consisting of a sample note, self-monitoring, and feedback was utilized to improve the completion of session notes of six technicians in an ABA agency serving individuals with ASD. Results indicate that the procedure was rapidly effective in increasing the number of items completed on the notes for all technicians, and this improvement was maintained at 1 and 2-week follow-up probes.
