Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present research represents a field test of the effects of feedback and goal setting techniques on increasing productivity. Absolute and comparative, as well as personal and impersonal, feedback were manipulated. Goal setting was added to several of the feedback groups. Subjects were regular employees working on two clerical type jobs. The results indicated that both feedback and goal setting produced meaningful increase in productivity. Other major finding were (a) personal feedback was as effective as impersonal feedback, (b) absolute feedback was as effective as comparative feedback, (c) goal setting with feedback was more effective than feedback alone, (d) poorer performers were positively influenced by the treatment while better performers were largely unaffected, (e) attitudes under feedback and goal setting were as good or better than before the treatments. The findings are discussed in terms of potential application to ongoing Air Force settings. (Author).

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 20 million copies sold! Translated into 60+ languages! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

For each strategy, they discuss the relevant theory and provide actual case studies of implementation. AMA Journal In the face of ever greater competition from abroad, no issue is more important for U.S. business than improving employee effectiveness and productivity. In this volume, Champagne and McAfee offer both a review of current theories on how to improve employee performance and a guide to adapting these strategies to specific work situations. While previous studies have tended to focus strictly on theory or on step-by-step guidelines alone, Champagne and McAfee combine theory, actual company examples, and clear-cut guidelines in order to offer the human resource professional a well-rounded, comprehensive overview of workable motivation strategies and techniques. The authors have chosen 10 currently popular performance-enhancing strategies for study, ranging from behavior modification techniques through team-based and employee participation approaches. For each, the authors discuss the relevant theory and then provide actual case study examples of their implementation. Because every situation is unique, the authors also outline ways in which particular strategies can be molded to fit a variety of situations. Throughout the book, steps that can be taken by managers to implement performance and productivity enhancing strategies, even in the absence of a formal company program, are elucidated fully. A book for managers in all kinds of organizations--from hospitals and schools to corporations and not-for-profit firms--Motivating Strategies for Performance and Productivity is an important contribution to the human resources literature.
