Operant conditioning is based on individuals' learning to engage in specific behaviors in order to receive certain consequences. The learning occurs when the learner recognizes the relationship between a behavior and its consequence.

Social learning theory is based on the idea that thoughts and feelings influence learning. Social learning theory stresses the importance of cognitive processes and suggests that learning can occur vicariously, that workers can engage in self-control to learn and manage their own behavior, and that individuals' beliefs about whether they can perform a desired behavior (self-efficacy) is important.

Social learning theory takes into account the role of the learner's thoughts and feelings. In contrast, the theory of operant conditioning asserts that people simply respond to the giving or removing of consequences for desired and undesired behaviors, with no recognition of thoughts or feelings.
