Andy has recently been employed in a factory where plastic cutlery is boxed and shipped. Andy's job is to check every 3rd box to ensure the correct number of knives, spoons, or forks are included. Andy's boss wants him to increase his overall speed (the number of boxes checked per hour) now that he has reached a 100% accuracy rate. Andy's job coach suggests the boss require Andy to increase his
number of boxes checked by 1 per hour (4 per day) in one week increments. If Andy reaches his quota for 5 consecutive work days, he will be rewarded with a bonus of $20 to be implemented permanently when he reaches and maintains his final quota of 20 boxes checked per hour for 3 weeks. Assume Andy's boss decides it would be better to offer Andy praise for improving his performance each hour, day, and week and then provide a one-time $100 bonus when he reaches his criterion. Would this change your response as to what design was being implemented? Explain your response.
