Abstract: Cognitive and acognitive are two basic approaches to the study of human behaviour in organizations. Most of the literature has treated these approaches as mutually opposing and contradictory. The authors suggest that this dichotomy between the two approaches may not be all that crucial, particularly from the point of view of practical application in organizations. A study for improving performance using a performance enhancement package based on elements from both, the cognitive and the acognitive, approaches, is described. Results indicate that it is possible to combine the two approaches for effective performance enhancement in an organizational setting.
