Gilbert's Behavioral Engineering Model
This model is a framework of guidelines designed to optimize the behavioral and environmental factors that management can control, in pursuit of cost-effective, worthy achievements.
Gilbert explains a deficiency in performance can be attributed to a deficiency in one's behavior repertory or the environment that supports the behavior repertory. Management can influence these factors with the application of Gilbert's Behavioral Engineering model.
Behavior (B) is a function of the environment (E) and the behavior repertory (P) of individuals.
Thus, B = E x P.
Management can optimize behavior by providing the appropriate information, instrumentation, and motivation to support the environment and the behavioral repertory.
