In Week 5 (see attach for the paper) you conducted a PDC-HS and developed a measurement system to evaluate the performance of an employee. This week's assignment will focus on translating those findings into an intervention technology that incorporates recommendations from the PDC-HS as well as the current empirical performance management literature to improve their performance. You will need to include a summarization of the performance deficit(s), the PDC-HS findings, and how you plan to measure the behavior(s) of interest. You will also discuss the intervention(s) chosen, citing the literature, and discussing how you plan to implement these protocols with your employee.
Preparation
To prepare for this assignment, complete the following:
- Review the feedback delivered by your instructor and make any required changes from the previous assignment.
Instructions
Write a performance improvement plan that includes the following:
- Setting: Describe the workplace where you conducted the PDC-HS. Include all relevant details such as the population of interest, the organizational structure, and general implementation model including any feedback from your previous assignment. (1 paragraph).
- Pinpointing: Describe pinpointing as a behavior analytic way of defining performance behavior and how it differs from standard operational definitions. (1 paragraph).
- Assessment: Discuss the pinpoint(s) you created as a component of your assessment and the overall findings of the PDC-HS. Discuss how you plan to measure these behaviors. Be sure to revise these sections based on the feedback received in your Week 5 assignment. (5-6 paragraphs).
- Strategies: Choose an intervention strategy or collection of strategies that would remediate the performance deficit(s). Cite at least one article that uses this intervention strategy/strategies. If you are having difficulty finding an article, remember that the PDC-HS provides recommendations that correspond to each potential area for improvement. (2-3 paragraphs).
- Implementation: Develop a plan of action by outlining how you would plan to implement the procedure in a step-by-step fashion. This should be written so that any person with training in performance management can be implemented with fidelity. (3-4 paragraphs).
