GOAL SETTING THEORY VS REINFORCEMENT THEORY: IN RUH PERSPECTIVE THEORY

Aulia Aulia

Abstract


Salah satu hal penting yang menjadi tujuan penelitian selain mengatasi masalah adalah melakukan revisi terhadap teori ataupun ilmu. Seiring dengan perkembangan waktu, maka harus diakui bahwa para teoritikus yang lahir membawa cara pandang dengan beraneka ragam dan warna. Hal tersebut tentu saja tidak lepas dari latar belakang para tokoh ataupun filosofis aliran yang mereka yakini, sehingga dampak yang paling ekstrim dari perbedaan-perbedaan tersebut adalah terjadinya pertentangan/ perdebatan antar teori. Dan untuk selanjutnya, perbedaan teori ataupun perspektif yang digunakanpun pada akhirnya mampu menstimulasi para ahli lainnya untuk terus menguji ataupun mengkritisi teori-teori yang hadir dengan tujuan memenuhi kebutuhan manusia sesuai dengan masanya. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk menyikapi pertentangan yang terjadi antara teori penetapan tujuan (goal setting) yang berangkat dari pendekatan kognitif dan teori penguatan (reinforcement) yang berangkat dari pendekatan behaviorisme. Oleh karena itu, penulis tertarik untuk terlibat dalam mengkaji dan membahas pertentangan tersebut dengan menggunakan teori RUH dari Riyono (2012) dengan asumsi bahwa teori RUH dapat menjadi jembatan bagi pertentangan kedua teori ini.
