Motivation
Companies use both positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement to motivate employees. Many managers believe that using positive motivation techniques encourages employees to produce more and better quality work. For example, some companies select an employee as "Employee of the Week." This technique praises the winning employee, while positively encouraging other employees to keep trying to do well. Other managers believe negative reinforcement motivates employees to stop bad behavior. For example, a company may issue a written-warning system, or threaten employees with termination to get them to perform a certain way.
