Providing Effective Feedback
Feedback information about
individual or collective performance shared with those in a position to improve the situation

Two Functions of Feedback
Instructional clarifies roles or teaches new behaviors
Motivational serves as a reward or promise of a reward
Feedback enhances the effect of specific, difficult goals

Sources of Feedback
Others peers, supervisors, lower-level employees, and
outsiders
TaskOneself Self-serving bias and other perceptual
problems can contaminate this source

Behavioral Outcomes of Feedback

8-10
Popularity of Nontraditional Feedback
1. Traditional performance appraisal systems have created widespread dissatisfaction.
2. Team-based organization structures are replacing traditional hierarchies.
3. Multiple-rater systems are said to make feedback more valid than single-source feedback.
![Page 11: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
8-11
Popularity of Nontraditional Feedback
4. Advanced computer network technology greatly facilitates multiple-rater systems.
5. Bottom-up feedback meshes nicely with the trend toward participative management and employee empowerment.
6. Co-workers and lower-level employees are said to know more about a manager’s strengths and limitations.

8-12
Nontraditional Feedback
Upward feedback lower-level employees provide feedback on a
manager’s style and performance
360-Degree feedback Letting individuals compare their own perceived
performance with behaviorally specific (and usually anonymous) performance information from their manager, subordinates, and peers

Question?
When Janine evaluates her supervisor, she is providing __________ feedback.
A.UpwardB.DownwardC.HorizontalD.Diagonal
![Page 14: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
8-14
Upward Feedback
Managers resist upward feedbacks programs because they believe it erodes their authorityAnonymous upward feedback can become little more than a personality contest
![Page 15: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Feedback Do’s and Don’ts
Do not:1. Use feedback is used to punish, embarrass,
or put down employees.2. Provide feedback that is irrelevant to the
person’s work.3. Provide feedback that is too late to do any
good.
![Page 16: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
8-16
Feedback Do’s and Don’ts
4. Provide feedback about something that is beyond the individual’s control.
5. Provide feedback that is overly complex or difficult to understand.

Feedback Do’s and Don’ts
Do:1.Keep feedback relevant by relating it to
existing goals.2.Deliver feedback as soon as possible to
the time the behavior was displayed.3.Provide specific and descriptive feedback.

Feedback Do’s and Don’ts
4. Focus the feedback on things employees can control.
5. Be honest, developmental, and constructive.
6. Facilitate two-way communication—give the other person the opportunity to clarify and respond

Types of Rewards
Extrinsic rewards financial, material, or social rewards from the
environment
Intrinsic rewards self-granted, psychic rewards

Non-performance considerations contractual

Pay for Performance
Pay for performance monetary incentives
linking at least some portion of the paycheck directly to results or accomplishments
![Page 24: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Why Rewards Fail to Motivate
1. Too much emphasis on monetary rewards2. Rewards lack an “appreciation effect”3. Extensive benefits become entitlements4. Counterproductive behavior is rewarded5. Too long a delay between performance and
rewards
![Page 25: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
8-25
Why Rewards Fail to Motivate
6. Too many one-size-fits-all rewards7. Use of one-shot rewards with a short-lived
motivational impact8. Continued use of demotivating practices
such as layoffs, across-the-board raises and cuts, and excessive executive compensation

Question?
Kim’s company has given all employees a “performance bonus” each year for the past 17 years. Employees have come to expect it no matter what the company’s profitability. Why would this “pay for performance” system fail to motivate employees? A.Too much emphasis on monetary rewardsB.Rewards lack an “appreciation effect”C.Extensive benefits become entitlementsD.Counterproductive behavior is rewarded

Thorndike’s Law of Effect
Law of effect Behavior with favorable consequences tends to
be repeated; behavior with unfavorable consequences tends to disappear
![Page 28: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Question?
When Grant is praised for a work behavior, he will try hard to repeat it. This follows the law of ___________.A.AffectB.EffectC.EffectivenessD.Efficiency
![Page 29: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Positive Reinforcement
Respondent behavior Skinner’s term for unlearned reflexes or
stimulus-response connections
Operant behavior behavior that is learned when one “operates
on” the environment to produce desired consequences.
![Page 30: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

8-31
Contingent Consequences
Positive reinforcement process of strengthening a behavior by
contingently presenting something pleasing
Negative reinforcement strengthens a desired behavior by contingently
withdrawing something displeasing
![Page 32: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
8-32
Contingent Consequences
Punishment process of weakening behavior through either
the contingent presentation of something displeasing or the contingent withdrawal of something positive
Extinction Weakening a behavior by ignoring it or making
sure it is not reinforced

8-33
Schedules of Reinforcement
Continuous reinforcement reinforcing every instance of a target behavior
Intermittent reinforcement reinforcing some but not all instances of a
target behavior

Shaping Behavior with Positive Reinforcement
Shaping reinforcing closer and closer approximations to
a target behavior

8-37
Shaping Behavior with Positive Reinforcement
Shaping works very well with people, especially in training and quality programs involving continuous improvement. Praise, recognition, and instructive and credible feedback cost managers little more than moments of their time
![Page 38: Improving Performance with Feedback, Rewards, and Positive Reinforcement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815c2e550346895dca0fc6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
8-38
Shaping Behavior with Positive Reinforcement
The key to successful behavior shaping lies in reducing a complex target behavior to easily learned steps and then faithfully (and patiently) reinforcing any improvement.

Video Case: Slacking Off
Are workers from today’s generations exhibiting a “slacker” attitude at work? Do you think more is being expected of workers today than there was in the past?Are workers today less productive as a result of having “slacker” attitudes?Is the nature of work different today than it was in the past? Could this be part of the issue?
