Calculations:

Formula:
E1 [( E2 outcome1 X V outcome1 ) + (E2 outcome2 X V outcome2 ) +………+
(E2 outcome6 X V outcome6 )]

Result:
Will try in training: 10.9
Will not try in training: 27 . 0
As a Bill’s supervisor what will
you do?

performance and job

As a Trainer
Know the things your trainees will see as rewarding and those that
will be seen as punishing
Plan to reward at lower levels of effort and higher levels of success
Use both tangible and intangible rewards
Feedback is reinforcer and key element is learning. Give areas of
improvement

Implications of goal
settings:
• Individuals who are given specific, hard
or challenging goal perform better
than those given specific easy goals
• Specific term goals results in more
predictable effects
• Goal must match to the ability of the
individual
• Feedback should align with the goal
assigned
• Individual need to accept the set goal
for effective outcomes
•Focus on learning process •Focus on end results
•Seek challenging task to •Wish to be seen as
increase their competent
competence •Desire favorable
•Take negative feedback as feedback not a
important information negative one
for improvement •Prefer easier task
•See failure as learning •Fear failure, limited
experience persistence and easily
