"This single resource for the fire safety community distills the most relevant and useful science and research into a consensus-based guide whose key factors and considerations impact the response and behavior of occupants of a building during a fire event.The Second Edition of SFPEs Engineering Guide: Human Behavior in Fire provides a common introduction to this field for the broad fire safety community: fire protection engineers/fire safety engineers, human behavior scientists/researchers, design professionals, and code authorities. The public benefits from consistent understanding of the factors that influence the responses and behaviors of people when threatened by fire and the application of reliable methodologies to evaluate and estimate human response in buildings and structures.This Guide also aims to lessen the uncertainties in the people components of fire safety and allow for more refined analysis with less reliance on arbitrary safety factors. As with fire science in general, our knowledge of human behavior in fire is growing, but is still characterized by uncertainties that are traceable to both limitation in the science and unfamiliarity by the user communities. The concepts for development of evacuation scenarios for performance-based designs and the technical methods to estimate evacuation response are reviewed with consideration to the limitation and uncertainty of the methods. This Guide identifies both quantitative and qualitative information that constitutes important consideration prior to developing safety factors, exercising engineering judgment, and using evacuation models in the practical design of buildings and evacuation procedures. Besides updating material in the First Edition, this revision includes new information on:Incapacitating Effects of Fire Effluent & Toxicity Analysis MethodsOccupant Behavior ScneariosMovement Models and Behavioral ModelsEgress Model Selection, Verification, and ValidationEstimation of Uncertainty and Use of Safety FactorsEnhancing Human Response to Emergencies & Notification of MessagingThe prediction of human behavior during a fire emergency is one of the most challenging areas of fire protection engineering. Yet, understanding and considering human factors is essential to designing effective evacuation systems, ensuring safety during a fire and related emergency events, and accurately reconstructing a fire."

"Understanding how and why employees behave as they do is a critical skill for managers in every organization. Managers are responsible for ensuring that the organization?s mission and strategic goals are enacted, so it is of the utmost importance they know how motivate and engage employees. This updated and revised edition of A Manager?s Guide to Human Behavior will prepare managers to better understand, motivate, and focus the energies of individual employees and the collective energy of their work teams. Building on the content in the fourth edition, this updated course reexamines key theories and focuses on their practical application to typical management situations. New topics is this edition include learning organizations and open systems, as a context for understanding how individuals contribute to organizational effectiveness; self-awareness; Goleman?s emotional intelligence; and Bridge?s transitions model of change. The performance management section has been enhanced with a simplified process model (define, develop, review and reward), and the section on leadership examines the concept of the versatile leader who engages the spirit, head, heart, and hands of employees. Throughout the course, self-assessments, worksheets, checklists, and questionnaires give students the opportunity to apply what they are learning. Each chapter incorporates an action plan tied to the objectives and competencies for the topic area. Short case studies enable students to apply their new knowledge to analyze, understand, and influence human behavior. This is an ebook version of the AMA Self-Study course. If you want to take the course for credit you need to either purchase a hard copy of the course through amaselfstudy. "
