Driven by a deep-rooted passion for understanding and shaping human behavior, Motivation Works is on a journey to improve educational organizations using tools found in organizational behavior management (OBM). For years, our team has dedicated themselves to unraveling the intricate threads of behavior, steering educational and organizational cultures toward positive transformation. In this blog, we will 'nerd out' and explore the fascinating and powerful science that helps Motivation Works provide innovative and dignified behavior solutions to companies.
Empowering Organizations with OBM
Our approach to organizational behavior change is in line with the principles of OBM, which is founded on a single fundamental theory of human behavior. Historically, OBM has placed a strong emphasis on identifying and altering the external factors that directly influence or can be observed in employee performance (as highlighted by Bucklin, Alvero, Dickinson, Austin, & Jackson in 2000). These foundational philosophical principles, that show us behavior is due to environmental circumstances, guide our team in crafting solutions that prioritize dignity and benefit everyone within the educational institution, including administrators, staff, and students.
Catalysts of Cultural Transformation
Culture change is at the heart of what we do. We firmly believe that transforming the culture of an organization or educational institution can lead to a healthier, more productive environment. We recognize the importance of defining a clear vision for the desired culture and engaging leadership to champion this change. Everyone needs to be on the same page, this is why we emphasize the need for effective communication to convey the vision to all stakeholders, making it accessible and relatable. We tailor our solutions, including training and development programs, as well as rewards and recognition strategies, to help align the workforce with the desired cultural values. Our approach is rooted in the principles of OBM, emphasizing patience, persistence, and the importance of ongoing feedback to create and sustain a thriving organizational culture.
