Hands on
Exercise
Measuring Your Desire for
Performance Feedback
• Based on the strength of your desire for feedback, are
you in harmony with your present (or last) workplace?
• In your experience, how often do managers and others
in positions of authority (parents, teachers, etc.) misuse
the term feedback when providing negative criticism?
•How strongly do you believe in the power of
constructive feedback? Explain.
• Is it possible to be addicted to feedback? Explain.
•What do you need to be a better provider of good onthe-job feedback?

Nontraditional Feedback

Upward Feedback: Subordinates evaluate their
manager’s style and performance.

360-Degree Feedback: Specific (typically
anonymous) feedback generated by one’s manager, peers,
subordinates, and other key people.

For class discussion: Are you in favor of this trend
toward nontraditional feedback? Explain. What are its
limits?

Managers need to keep the following tips in mind
when giving feedback:
Relate feedback to existing performance goals and
clear expectations.
Give specific feedback tied to observable behavior or
measurable results.
Channel feedback toward key result areas.
Give feedback as soon as possible.
Give positive feedback for improvement, not just final
results.
Focus feedback on performance, not personalities.
Base feedback on accurate and credible information.

Why Rewards Often Fail to Motivate








Too much emphasis on monetary rewards
Rewards lack an “appreciation effect”
Extensive benefits become entitlements
Counterproductive behavior is rewarded
Too long a delay between performance and
rewards
Too many one-size-fits-all rewards
Use of one-shot rewards with a short-lived
motivational impact
Continued use of demotivating practices
such as layoffs, across-the-board
raises and cuts, and excessive
executive compensation

Schedules of Reinforcement
Table 8-1
Schedule
Description
Continuous
(CRF)
Reinforcer follows every response
Intermittent
Reinforcer does not follow every response
A fixed number of responses must be
emitted before reinforcement occurs.
A varying or random number of responses
must be emitted before reinforcement
occurs.
The first response after a specific period of
time has elapsed is reinforced
The first response after varying or random
periods of time have elapsed is reinforced.
Fixed ratio (FR)
Variable ratio (VR)
Fixed interval (FI)
Variable interval (VI)
