    Behavioral chaining is a complex behavior that consists of many behaviors happening all together. The chain establishes all the steps in a procedure and list them so all the instructors are using the same information. Chaining provides a means of linking several discrete behaviors to a more complex series of responses, and are usually established after observing the steps of the event several times and work well when trying to teach self-help skills. The instructor should verbalize each step in the chain as it is being completed, and should be followed by praise for a job well done (1). Simply saying, behavioral chaining is breaking a task or job down into smaller steps.…

    In my opinion, there is no format or final form of the job description. But the store manager’s job description should include the job identification, job summary, responsibilities and duties, authority of incumbent, the standards of performance, working conditions and Job specifications. I recommend that Jennifer include standards of of performance section in job description. In this, the standards that the employee expected to be achieved under each job description’s main duties and responsibilities, is listed. It will also address the problem of employees such as not understanding the company policies, procedures, and expectations. In addition I recommend that Jennifer should take a competency-based approach instead. This competency based approach describes the job in terms of the measurable, observable, behavioral competencies that an employee who perform the job must have. The competency analysis is more worker focused. This is due to it focuses more on ‘how’ the worker meets the job’s objective or actually accomplishes the work.…
