According to Behaviorist B.F.Skinner, punishment can decrease behavior while reinforcement increases it. For instance, if you are an employee with a rotten Boss who gives you additional workloads because you are late. And he wont listen that you had to attend to your sick child or parent.
In result, you become unproductive and not meeting your boss requirement. Whereas, if you were offered the ears and listening heart, then you are told to relax and take your time...That's being reinforced. In turn, you'd feel grateful and will be more inspired to accomplish work stuff even exceeding the expectation of your Boss.
But not all employs this. We'd be lucky to be under a leadership who reinforces than punishes.
