Understanding Learning & performance

Description
This is a presentation describing about learning, people management, behaviour modification, social learning theory, Kolb's model, job characteristic, job design

? A relatively permanent change in behavior (or

behavior tendency) that occurs as a result of a person’s interaction with the environment.

? Learning is viewed as dependent on the context

? The team leader “operates” on the team environment
? alter behavior to maximize positive and minimize

adverse consequences
? Should human thoughts also need to be viewed as

important?

Designed Consequences = Reinforcement
• Positive aspects like rewards, recognition • Negative aspects like deterrentswithdrawal of priveleges etc

Contingencies of Reinforcement
Consequence is introduced No consequence Consequence is removed

Behavior increases/ maintained Behavior decreases

Positive reinforcement

Negative reinforcement

Punishment

Extinction

Punishment

Social Learning Theory
• Behavioral modeling
– Observing and modeling behavior of others

• Learning behavior consequences
– Observing consequences that others experience

• Self-reinforcement
– Reinforcing our own behavior with consequences within our control

Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model
Concrete experience

Active experimentation

Reflective observation

Abstract conceptualization

Developing a Learning Orientation
• • • • Value the generation of new knowledge Reward experimentation Recognize mistakes as part of learning Encourage employees to take reasonable risks

For learning to happen
• There should be rewards. • There should be training. • Constraints should be identified in the learning situation.

Productivity

? Based on membership and seniority ? Job status ? Competencies ? Performance-based

Learning + _____________________ = Performance

The Role of nature of work = Job design

Advantages Less time changing activities Lower training costs Job mastered quickly Better person-job matching

Disadvantages Job boredom Discontentment pay Higher costs Lower quality Lower motivation
