An innovative and effective approach to organizational behavioral management Despite more than 40 years of empirical and conceptual research, the contribution of behavior analysis to the world of business remains relatively small and organizational behavior management gets little attention in both the academic and professional communities. Acceptance and Mindfulness at Work presents behavioral analysis of human language that’s ready to use, with applied extensions proven to have a significant impact in organizational settings. The leading experts in the field examine how these ongoing developments can help broaden the exploration of the psychological issues relevant to organizational behavioral management (OBM) in the workplace. Acceptance and Mindfulness at Work presents conceptual and empirical articles, and reviews of working examples of Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) applied to organizational behavior management. The book examines goal setting, feedback, task descriptions, and workers’ ability to learn as examples of how to affect positive change in organizations through increased productivity and improved quality of life in the workplace. The possibilities presented by RTF can lead to advancements in employee safety and training, stress and health management, employee evaluation, managing absenteeism, tardiness, and turnover, and self-management.

Employee organizational commitment is a multidimensional construct that both observes and addresses the physical, social, psychological, and environmental concerns related to work-related stress. It looks at the interaction of personal factors and workplace experience found in the workplace culture, also known as the personality of the organization, that is composed of an organization's leadership, values, traditions, beliefs, interactions, behaviors, and attitudes that contribute to the emotional and relational workplace environment. An investment by employers into employee organizational commitment could produce the retention of the best and brightest employees resulting in consumers with long-term continuity of care and service provision through an industry's retention of key organizational employees with quality operational knowledge. The purpose of this study was to use the job demands-control-support model as it relates to organizational commitment in providing employers, senior-level management, HR teams, and vocational rehabilitation counselors with actionable information that could support employee retention rates of both employees with and without disabilities, reducing the operating costs associated with high employee turnover rates. This was accomplished by surveying employees from across various work industries to determine the factors that influence employees' organizational commitment based on the theoretical framework of the job demands-control-support model as well as job-related facilitators.
