Thorndike's law of effect states that behaviors followed by rewarding consequences become strengthened through repeated satisfaction, while behaviors followed by unpleasant consequences become weakened and are less likely to reoccur. The document discusses how creating an organizational reward system for values and standards encourages excellence, self-motivation, character development, and efficiency among employees by positively reinforcing behaviors.
