first choice,

25
Q

asking- ask employees what they like
observe- observe what employees do in free time

    -satiation may occur faster than social reinforcers
A

Q

Controllable- under the managers control
Available- always available-social reinforcers may be preferable for this reason
Repeatable- workers do not satiate rapidly
Efficient- need to pay for itself through increased performance
