Abstract: Organizational behavior management (OBM) is the application of applied behavior analysis in organizational settings. OBM encompasses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to systems analysis, financial contingencies, training, goal setting, feedback, pinpointing, and leadership. It is applied to address issues such as safety, health and wellbeing, consumer behavior, and organizational culture. Because of its breadth, it can be challenging to design an introductory course in this field of study. This panel will discuss what content should be covered and where we would recommend additional practice in an introductory course on OBM. We will also review what considerations would modify the structure and content of the course, such as if it is undergraduate/graduate, expertise and competency of the instructor, and type of program the course is being taught in. Attendees will be provided with recommendations for where to find additional teaching resources, including readings, activities, and example course syllabi. |
