Mullen, Heather; Martin, Garry L.
International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v11 n2 p125-41 1988
This study compared the addition of two self-management strategies to typical supervision to improve productivity of eight mentally retarded workers in a sheltered workshop. Both strategies--(1) self monitoring plus goal setting and social contingencies and (2) addition of a monetary bonus for productivity--were equally effective in improving worker productivity.
