Behavior management, similar to behavior modification, is a less intensive version of behavior therapy. Unlike behavior modification, which focuses on changing behavior, behavior management focuses on maintaining order. In particular, behavior management skills are critical to teachers and people in the education system and in supported living communities. This form of management results in ways to help people, both individually or in groups, choose behaviors that are personally fulfilling, productive, and socially acceptable. Behavior management can be accomplished through modeling, rewards, or punishment. Organizational behavior is the study of both group and individual performance and activity within an organization. This area of study examines human behavior in a work environment and determines its impact on job structure, performance, communication, motivation, leadership, etc. It is the systematic study and application of knowledge about how individuals and groups act within the organizations where they work. OB draws from other disciplines to create a unique field.
