Abstract
A public posting system was used to increase attendance at and performance in habilitation team meetings in an institutional setting. A reversal ABAB design was used to determine the effects of the public posting procedure. Results proved to be consistent with earlier research in the area. Public posting for attendance increased the number of members present at the meetings by about 20%. Similar results were obtained with performance, where an average increase of 30% was seen in posting conditions. Furthermore, data indicate that the team business progressed more efficiently during the public posting phases, with a concurrent increase in the delivery of services to the residents. This study further demonstrates that public posting may be an acceptable and efficacious accountability procedure for use in organizational settings.Keywords
