Effects of choice versus no choice of work tasks on work performance, inappropriate
behaviours, happiness and unhappiness indices were examined in three studies.
Study 1 examined the effects of a choice between a high and a low preference
task, versus the assignment of the high preference task. Study 2 was similar
to Study 1 except that the tasks in the choice condition were equally and
moderately preferred. Study 3 was conducted by the participants' instructors
in their natural work settings. A total of five participants were involved
across the three studies. Very few differences were found under the choice
and no-choice conditions. More research is needed to examine the role of
reinforcement history in establishing stimulus control effects of choice.
