“…A further samplerelated limitation relates to our use of healthcare teams. Though we received a somewhat lower response rate from medical doctors, this sample can 524 R. Mitchell and B. Boyle be argued as particularly valuable given the increasing policy and clinical emphasis on teamwork in healthcare (CAIPE, 2008;Kelley and Gravina, 2018). While there is an argument that our focus may limit the extent to which findings are applicable to teams outside healthcare, we note that healthcare teams share issues such as complexity of decision context and multiple demands (Jeffcott and Mackenzie, 2008), which suggests that our findings are likely to be relevant beyond healthcare.…”

Organizational teams are capable of addressing complex and multifaceted problems through innovative solutions, but their capacity to innovate is far from guaranteed. The quest to address this dilemma has yet to explore the interactive roles of professional and team identification; a surprising omission as both professional and team identification have been separately shown to play an important role in determining team innovation. Responding to this research gap, we explore the potential for professional identity salience to enhance or undermine healthcare team innovation through minority dissent, and argue that team identification is capable of differentiating between these two contrasting effects. Our survey-based study of 63 US healthcare teams supports our moderated mediation model, which provides evidence of the potential complementarity of different forms of identification and opens an opportunity for teams to reap the benefits, as well as avoid the detriments, typically associated with each form.

“…Heather McGee and Manny Rodriguez assembled a special section, "Organizational Behavior Management in Health and Human Services," comprised of a selected group of papers from the ABAI preconference meeting of the same title. OBM applications in human services are well-researched (Gravina et al 2018) and its expansion into health care looks promising (Kelley and Gravina 2018). In both special sections, we see how behavior science can be employed to understand topics that are clearly under the dome-culture, child attachment, prosocial behavior, service delivery, occupational safety.…”

Operant research was never about counting key pecks, lever presses, switch closures, or keyboard taps. These easily indexed, convenient, sometimes arbitrary responses were adopted as a means to yield data that could tell us something about matters that were more grand and important than a relay pulse. The title of Skinner's (1938) seminal The Behavior of Organisms was criticized by contemporaries as an immodest overreach (Finan 1940; Hilgard 1939), but a more unassuming title such as "The Lever Pressing of the Rat" might quickly have relegated the book to dusty university library stacks and antiquarian bookstores. Instead, the book remains in print to this day 1 because it was big, bold, and brash, and set the occasion for a science that could and would handle anything the world might throw at it, taking us from rats to human behavior (Skinner 1953) and from lever presses to language or in Skinner's (1957) terms, verbal behavior. Other audacious extrapolations inspired by this work followed. A five-page paper describing the behavior of three pigeons (Herrnstein 1961) led to the matching law (Herrnstein 1970); a six-page report of choices by six pigeons (Ainslie and Herrnstein 1981) gave us the hyperbolic discount function. Both the matching law and hyperbolic discount function now challenge rational choice theory and the foundation of neoclassical economics (Herrnstein 1990) and helped usher in behavioral economics (Furrebøe and Sandaker 2017). The hyperbolic discount function spawned research in a wide range of topics from quotidian behaviors such as choices for consumer items (Fagerstrøm and Hantula 2013; Oliveira-Castro and Marques 2017) or employment (Schoenfelder and Hantula 2003) to serious social problems such as substance abuse (Green and Myerson 2019; Mitchell 2019). Indeed, work on discounting has become so sophisticated that discount functions can predict treatment

“…Board-certified behavior analysts and other behavior analytically oriented mental health professionals, such as psychologists, may be called upon to support health care workers facing pandemic challenges. Behavior analysts working in organizational behavior management can provide interventions to improve patient care and safety within health care systems (Kelley & Gravina, 2017). As the psychological well-being of health care professionals has been linked to better patient care and reduced turnover (Franco & Christie, 2021), health care organizations may be interested in strategies aimed at supporting their workers.…”

Health care professionals experience stress and burnout at elevated rates. Pandemics, such as the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), bring additional concerns, including fears of infection, increased workplace demands, and uncertainty due to limited information. The manner in which health care workers respond to the unpleasant thoughts and feelings that arise in this context may be important to their ability to cope with stressors. Acceptance and commitment therapy/training (ACT) offers a promising approach for supporting health care professionals. ACT has been used to address a number of behavioral concerns, including promoting better workplace function, reducing stress, and targeting difficulties termed psychopathology, and has received support within health care populations. Behavioral providers can help health care employees choose to engage in behavior that is consistent with their values and avoid unhelpful responses to private events. Concerns relevant to this population and adaptations of ACT exercises are discussed.
