Part 1:
Analyze two (2) of the four (4) consequences of behavior, and illustrate an
incidence where a combination of those two (2) would occur together.
4 Consequences of Behavior:
1.Positive
Reinforcement rewarding good behavior in the form of bonuses, incentives or some
type of benefits.
2.Negative
Reinforcement is not about punishment it’s withholding punishment. For example
if one employee’s work performance has improved over time and is no longer in
danger of a demotion or firing this is called negative reinforcement.
3.Punishment
is consequence an employee receives for bad behavior this
includes demoting, suspending or firing unproductive employees. An employee can
also be placed on probation, lose overtime privileges and be passed over for
raises as punishment.
4.Extinction

behaviors. After an employer has taken all measures to improve work performances
and behavior termination is the final process.
