Behavioral systems analysis (BSA), or performance systems analysis, applies behavior analysis and systems analysis to human performance in organizations. BSA is directly related to performance management and organizational behavior management.

Behavioral systems analysis is an approach to organizational design and management. It is based on the premise that organizations are complex systems. As such, changes in one aspect of performance in an organization necessarily affects performance in another parts of an organization. A primary goal of BSA is to create a balanced applications in which areas of poor performance are improved, areas of high performance are maintained, and employee performance outcomes are directed towards organizational goals. This is done through the careful use of behavioral and systems theories, and the application of research based principles of behavior, such as reinforcement, punishment, stimulus control, discrimination and generalization.

Behavior Analysis is a scientific discipline that studies the behavior of individuals. Behavior Analysis maintains that behavior is the product of individual's interaction with his or her environment (e.g., physical environment, social environment, genetic environment) and the history of that interaction. All social organizations are comprised of individuals' behaviors and their products. Systems Analysis is a scientific discipline that studies the operations of complex systems such as organizations, and focuses on the interactions between parts of those systems. A system can be understood as interrelated components or parts that interact toward a common purpose. Accordingly, the behavior or functioning of one part or parts affect(s) the behavior or functioning of other parts. In systems analysis, a system is not considered to be reducible to its parts. Therefore, the parts can only be understood in terms of their interaction with other parts of the system.

Behavioral Systems Analysis draws upon basic and applied research on behavior and the research and practice in Organizational Behavior Management, Performance Management and Systems Analysis. Behavioral Systems Analysis views organizational performance as a scientific subject matter. From this perspective, an individual's behavior in organizations is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Moreover, the discovery orderly relations between behavior and the system in which it occurs gives us opportunities for Behavioral Systems Applications to improve individual and system performance.
