What is Organizational Behavior Management (OBM)?
OBM is a scientific approach that looks at behavior within organizations. It helps improve workplace productivity and efficiency by using principles of applied behavior analysis to analyze organizational systems and employee behavior. This involves modifying environmental variables that directly impact employee performance and workplace culture. OBM consists of conducting performance diagnostics, implementing carefully selected evidence-based interventions, and continually evaluating the effects of the interventions.
