Abstract

ABSTRACT Suggestions that organizational behavior management (OBM) and its practitioners may benefit in some way by adopting the BACB® code of ethics, and by becoming board certified as behavior analysts are refuted. Instead it is shown that OBM is only tangentially related to the practice of applied behavior analysis, the BACB® code of ethics is irrelevant to OBM, there is no consumer protection or benefit offered, and OBM has its own evolving robust approach to ethics. There are no advantages to OBM or its practitioners for adopting the BACB® code of ethics, instead there is only decreased opportunities and increased liability for those involved in OBM, increased influence, ideological hegemony and professional disenfranchisement by the BACB® and increased profits for certain universities and continuing education unit providers.
