The American Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that uses volunteer workers the same way a for-profit business uses paid employees. To encourage volunteers to continue to give their time, the Red Cross thanks volunteers with public recognition. This would be an example of ______.

(A) piece-rate scaling.
(B) scientific management.
(C) theory x.
(D) positive reinforcement.
(E) an ineffective reward system

Positive reinforcement involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future. When a favorable outcome, event, or reward occurs after an action, that particular response or behavior will be strengthened.

it can be a challenge to find volunteers for projects, because of the demand on everyone's time. And although, most of those who do volunteer don't do it for rewards or recognition, public acknowledgement and small tokens of appreciation are often effective incentives to increase participation.

Public acknowledgement serves as an incentive and positive reinforcement for volunteers. Therefore, POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT is an example of the public recognition the red Cross gives the volunteers.

Answer:

positive reinforcement ( D )

Explanation:

The recognition of volunteers in the public domain by the American red cross is a way of reinforcing the Volunteers positively since these volunteers are not paid for their service giving them a positive reinforcement through public recognition is very vital to how they would discharge their duties in the future.

The piece-rate scaling system is a method of paying workers for work done per unit of work done since volunteers are not paid by the red cross the public recognition is not a piece-rate scaling system. other options are not an example of of public recognition.
