Abstract
Performance Management (fifth edition), by Aubrey C. Daniels and Jon S. Bailey, is the latest iteration of a highly successful volume outlining the application of the principles of behavior analysis to, in the words of the subtitle, “drive organizational effectiveness.” This review first considers the book's organization and topical coverage, followed by an analysis of three concepts: (1) feedback, (2) reinforcer effectiveness, and (3) extinction. Several additional topics represented in behavior-analytic basic research are discussed as complements to the other subjects. The new edition represents the best in applied behavior analysis both in its research foundation and its application to strategies for making businesses better and more profitable. Performance Management: Changing Behavior That Drives Organizational Effectiveness, Fifth Edition (2014; 344 pages; ISBN-13: 978–0937100257; hardcover $69.95) is published by Performance Management Publications.
