ABSTRACT
Understanding the distinction between organizational behavior management and similar performance improvement initiatives requires an understanding of the field’s conceptual system. The components of the field’s conceptual system are the individual concepts and principles that compose our terminology. To introduce novices to an understanding of the field, this paper seeks to review various basic terms and highlight how they may help us explain behavior within organizational contexts. Furthermore, the paper also features several considerations and nuances important to bear in mind when applying terminology to actual cases.
