This chapter describes the area of behavior analysis that focuses on improving human performance in business settings: organizational behavior management. Organizational behavior management (OBM) is a large area of practice with several subspecialties (e.g., safety and systems) and a variety of different employment opportunities. While few behavior analysts will own or consult in businesses, most will likely supervise employees at some point in their career – this makes OBM one of the more important disciplines within behavior analysis. In addition to defining the field broadly, this chapter will present different areas of interest to individuals new to OBM including unique ethical issues and how to enter this diverse field.
