We discussed the reinforcement process in detailin Chapter 2.Although it's clear that so。called reinforcers like pay can motivate people,it's iust as clear thatfor people the process is much more complicated than stimulus-response.In its pure torm,reinforcement theory ignores feelings,attitudes,expectations,and other cognmve variables that are known to impact behavior.In fact,some researchers look at the same experiments that reinforcement theorists use tosupport their position and interpret the findings in a cognitive framework.55 Reinforcement is undoubtedly an important influence on behavior,but fewscholars are prepared to argue that it is the only influence.The behaviors youengage in at work and the amount of effort you allocate to each task areaffected by the consequences that follow from your behavior.For instance,ifyou re consistently reprim
