Antecedents come behavior the behavior and consequence come after! Ensure that the identified target behavior is associated with the insufficient performance of concern.
In performance diagnostics, behaviors are: the identified responses of the staff member that are associated with the insufficient performance.
Performance diagnostics are used to figure out what the functions of insufficient staff performance may be so you can effectively intervene - much like we use functional assessment approaches to determine effective interventions for clients.
Performance diagnostics (AKA functional assessment approach)
Before BCBA can effectively use a finctional assessment approach to target staffs' insufficient work performance, you must: completely define the target behavior associated with the insufficient performance of concern, determine the common envrionmental antecedents and consequences that may affect the target behavior, identify what " insufficient performance" means.
Some antecedents to insufficient work performance may include: being asked to complete a procedure without sufficient training and support, receiving harsh criticism form a supervisor or coworker, being overwhelmed or overloaded with tasks. => Be aware of placing too many demands or demands that are too difficult/untrained. Also, remember the general 4:1 ratio of SR+(specific verbal praise) to constructive feedback(specific corrective request)
Common consequences to insufficient work performance may include: Staff tend to avoid or escape from tasks that result in harsh criticism or reprimands. Part of avoiding may include not asking for help or feeling helpless.
