The Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis (SABA) provides financial support for the field of behavior analysis. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, SABA accepts tax-deductible donations, distributes donations through grants, and recognizes leaders in behavior analysis with its annual awards ceremony.
For more than 30 years SABA has been promoting the field of behavior analysis by supporting talented students, encouraging global dissemination of the science, and recognizing our most inspiring leaders and giving them a platform to reach an even bigger audience.
The Society recognizes teaching as a noble calling spanning the boundary of art and science; grounded in theory and intellectual creativity; focused on enhancing learning in the classroom and beyond. Management educators connect theory and practice in innovative ways, bridging academic research and organizational application. As scholars, they develop the techniques and evaluate the outcomes of the teaching/learning process.
Organizational behavior management is when the scientific principles of behavior analysis are applied to performance evaluation and improvement in any organizational context. OBM is used widely in healthcare, sports, and manufacturing, and is increasingly being taken into consideration in all types of human resource management systems.
Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of the way people interact within groups. Normally this study is applied in an attempt to create more efficient business organizations. The central idea of the study of organizational behavior is that a scientific approach can be applied to the management of workers. Organizational behavior theories are used for human resource purposes to maximize the output from individual group members.
