The present study evaluated the effects of a self-monitoring procedure with and without the use of supervisor feedback to increase staff on-schedule and on-task behavior. The self-monitoring procedure involved the use of activity cards that staff filled out and carried with them to assist in determining the activities they were responsible for at any given time throughout the shift. There were increases in both on-schedule and on-task behavior with the self-monitoring procedure. Supervisor feedback was subsequently added to the procedure after several weeks because specific staff members did not consistently maintain their high levels of performance. Generalization data indicated that staff were implementing the procedure during evening hours without specific programming. The advantages of using a self-monitoring procedure for improving staff performance in residential settings are discussed. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 47-07, Section: A, page: 2516. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1986.
