Behavioral Measurement in Business, Industry, and Government.

Abstract

This report presents some of the advantages of using behavioral measures in business, industry, and government settings. The development of a behavioral measurement system is illustrated by an example from the author's recent experience in conducting a study designed to improve organizational maintenance in a Fleet Marine Force Unit. Areas of concern related to behavioral measures, knowledge of being observed, observer bias, and the costs of using observational measures are discussed. (Author)
