Problem
I work in a strange and mysterious place…the rare books and special collections in the Waldo Library. Not many souls
wander up to peruse our selection of 12th
century manuscripts or a signed edition of
Walden by Thoreau. In the summer of 2005, our beloved boss Dr. Thomas Amos died suddenly. Very sad
indeed.
Note: This presentation is hypothetical but all the
places and contingencies are real. This feasibly
could be implemented in this environment. There
really is a rare books room! (hint: go visit it!)

Problem
It was going to take a good deal of time before they could find anybody to
replace him, so for about one whole year, this department in the library was basically student run. So, you can imagine how much work was
getting done.
![Page 4: Final Fiesta Student Example PowerPoint #2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55580380d8b42a200d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Dat iz because your arr lazy, students
worker-types bums. Yous iz no good for doing zee Library
vork.
Now that, Mr. Librarian, is victim blaming, saying
the victim of the problem is the cause of
the problem. We student workers were experiencing the real
cause of poor-self management; where there was poor rule
control by outcomes, which in our case, were too small to control our
behavior.
![Page 5: Final Fiesta Student Example PowerPoint #2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55580380d8b42a200d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Since then, at the start of the 2006 Fall semester we have found a new head of the department.
But, books are still not getting repaired at the rate they used to be two years ago.
This is big problem in a department full of needy books. Books that call out for attention from
someone, anyone! Don’t fear first edition of Collected Longer Poems
of W.H. Auden, behavior analysis is here to save the day!

Competing Contingencies
Fixing a book requires the help of some not-so-nice-smelling chemicals like leather cleaner
and 200 proof ethyl, de-natured alcohol. Starting repairs is liable to make you
experience a new world of aversive smells you didn't even know existed. Also fixing a book requires the use of many sharp tools. My lovely assistant Gus (and model in all
these pictures) cut the tip of this finger off fixing a book. No joke. Libraries can be
dangerous.THE DANGERS OF LIBRARY WORK!

Baseline Graph
This graph starts with month 1 being January 2006. The number of books we repaired
definitely dropped in the summer months.

Baseline Graph Description
During the summer months, 5-8, the number of books
repaired was so low, it makes me ashamed to
look at it.

Specify the Performance Objectives
The main goal is to increase the output of repaired books.
To facilitate this we need to complete a goal-directed systems design form. In this, we can
see where the personnel (front-line and managers) come into play with regards to the
goal of this system.
The four main organizational outcome measures of quality, quantity, timeliness, and cost will be
used as standards to compare the current state and the ideal state after the addition of the performance-management contingency.

Design the Intervention
The intervention that has been put into place is relatively basic and easy to manage. I typed
up and gave my fellow employees a performance contract, a written rule
statement that described the behavior (correctly repairing books), when that behavior
should happen (at work), and the added outcome (monthly bonus points contingent
upon amount of books fixed).
At the end of the month when statistics are taken for how many books repaired and by whom, the amount of books repaired per person will earn the person with the most repairs a special bonus for that month.

Implement the Intervention
The performance management contingencies went into effect in
month number 9, October.
Every student worker was involved.
They recorded their data on a piece of paper that I later collected.
![Page 17: Final Fiesta Student Example PowerPoint #2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55580380d8b42a200d8b5384/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Evaluate the Intervention
The intervention has been a great success for us at the Rare Books room. The students workers were
actually excited to give it a try-and of course to get that end-of-the-
month bonus. The number of books repaired is on
the rise again.

Hypothetical recycle
In month 10 we hired three new employees so we had to recycle the
objectives since it generally takes about one full year before you learn to do
everything 100% correctly at this job. The number of books was lowered from 4 a day to 2 books a day. This decrease
in the amount required ensured that sloppy work wasn’t being done just to
meet the daily requirements.

Comments
Working at the rare book room has been an amazing opportunity. I’d love to see this intervention put into place if the number of book
repairs is still not up to par.

This recycling was a success. The new employees were able to met
the requirements without having to compromise their repairs.
