    Negative reinforcement

    Explanation:

    In operant conditioning, negative reinforcement is the process whereby the likelihood of a desirable behavior being exhibited is increased by removing or stopping an unfavorable stimulus. Negative reinforcement strengthens a desirable behavior by removing an aversive stimulus that is unfavorable.

    The scenario described in the question about Shawn, is an example of negative reinforcement. Shawn's above-average performance last year is the favorable behavior that Shawn's boss wishes to increase the likelihood of that being repeated as he allows him to work from home on Fridays.
