Alyce M. Dickinson is professor emeritus at Western Michigan University where she taught and researched organizational behavior management (OBM) for 35 years. Dickinson made early contributions to the field of OBM as co-editor of a handbook on organizational behavior management.

Career

Dickinson completed her BA in psychology at Lycoming College, MA in industrial/organizational psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and PhD in applied behavior analysis at Western Michigan University. She served on the faculty of Western Michigan for 35 years (1984–2020) where she chaired the I/O psychology program for 25 years.

Her primary research areas are reward and incentive systems and organizational systems analysis. In several studies, she looked at the effects of individual and small group monetary incentives on the performance and satisfaction of employees. Findings suggested that the introduction of feedback had stronger effects on performance than incentives alone.

Dickinson was an advisor to 79 students while at Western Michigan: 60 master’s students and 19 PhD students. Many of her students have gone on to lead successful careers in research, universities, and corporate settings. Dickinson served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, The Behavior Analyst, and the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis.
