Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) began as the application of behavior analysis to organizational settings and retains the philosophical and methodological principles of behavior analysis (Bucklin, Alvero, Dickinson, Austin, Jackson, 2000). This discipline’s main focus is on the behavior of individuals and groups in organizations. Organizational behavior follows the same principles as individual behavior in other settings. In other words, practitioners should view behavior as naturally occurring, scientific subject matter, and understand that orderly relations between behavior and the environment allow for the prediction and control of behavior. In addition to a theoretical understanding, knowledge of the experimental principles of behavior (e. g., reinforcement, punishment, stimulus control, discrimination and generalization) is necessary for successful application of behavior analysis to organizational problems. Analyses of work behavior in terms of the principles of behavior analysis are provided in many sources (e.g., Brown, 1982; Daniels, 1989; O’Brien Dickinson, 1982; Mawhinney, 1984). For particularly detailed analyses, including the role of rules and establishing operations, readers are referred to Johnson, Redmon, and Mawhinney (in press), Mawhinney and Mawhinney (1982), Mawhinney and Fellows-Kuber (1999), and Poling and Braatz (in press).
