Showing papers in "Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes in 2005"

TL;DR: In this paper, social learning theory is used as a theoretical basis for understanding ethical leadership and a constitutive definition of the ethical leadership construct is proposed. But, little empirical research focuses on an ethical dimension of leadership.

TL;DR: This paper found that display authenticity had a direct effect on customer satisfaction, regardless of task performance (which was generally high) and busyness, but only influenced customer satisfaction when tasks were performed well.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of social identity and knowledge quality on knowledge transfer across groups and found that groups were more likely to adopt the routine of a rotator when they shared a superordinate social identity with that member than when they did not.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of leader moral development on the organization's ethical climate and employee attitudes was examined and it was found that the influence of the leader's moral development was stronger for high utilizing leaders, those whose moral actions were consistent with their moral reasoning.

TL;DR: The behavioral reasoning theory as mentioned in this paper proposes that reasons serve as important linkages between beliefs, global motives (e.g., attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived control), intentions, and behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, a public art exhibit of over 300 life-sized fiberglass cows that culminated in 140 Internet and live, in-person auctions is described. And the authors focus on the implications of these findings and on the broader issue of competitive arousal and escalation and their impact on decision-making.

TL;DR: This paper found that people's greater willingness to help identified victims relative to non-identified ones was examined by eliciting real contributions to targets varying in singularity (a single individual vs. a group of several individuals), and the availability of individually identifying information (the main difference being the inclusion of a picture in the “identified” versions).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of membership change on group creativity and found that the entry of more productive newcomers increased the creativity of the oldtimers in a group.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined polychronicity, which refers to an individual's preference for working on many things simultaneously as opposed to one at a time, and found that deficient and excess polychronity supplies are associated with poorer well-being.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed theory predicting the impact of being in (and out) of sync with the general pace of the social environment at work and examined how fit and misfit between individual and aggregate work group hurriedness impact satisfaction, psychological strain, and helping behavior.

TL;DR: The authors showed that adding uncertainty to outcomes would eliminate the immediacy effect bias and eliminate one form of the certainty effect, provided the prospects were presented singly rather than jointly, while in joint evaluation, these effects did not occur.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated ways in which to support decision making in dynamic decision making and found that participants who received feedforward improved their performance considerably and continued to exhibit improved performance even after discontinuation of the decision support on the third day.

TL;DR: The authors examined whether judgmental anchoring effects even occur, if anchor values are presented subliminally, outside of judges’ awareness, and found that subliminal anchors produced a selective increase in the accessibility of anchor-consistent target knowledge.

TL;DR: The authors found that decision makers are more risk seeking for small-stakes than for large-stakes gambles, and that the peanuts effect is related to disappointment, but do not support a connection between the Peanuts effect and regret.

TL;DR: This article investigated the effects of posting by organizations to restore public trust after adverse events and found that posting raised participants' perceptions of the trustworthiness of organizations that had caused incidents, whereas imposed or involuntary posting did not result in more positive evaluations.

TL;DR: This paper found that participants overestimate others' willingness to engage in embarrassing public performances (miming and dancing) in exchange for money, and this overestimation was greater among participants facing a hypothetical rather than a real decision to perform.

TL;DR: The authors argue that uncertainty about counterfactual outcomes and incomparability of factual outcomes attenuate regret, and demonstrate that regret is a comparison process that is essential to the experience of regret.

TL;DR: In this article, social psychological explanations are used to explain people high in interdependent self-construal, and the results of three studies showed that such explanations moderated the relationship between procedural fairness and a variety of dependent variables (cooperation, positive affect, and desire for future interaction with the other party).

TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal study and two experiments, involving a total of close to 2000 participants, provide systematic evidence that intention-behavior inconsistency, as a prime indicator of a failed decision process, is regret inducing.

TL;DR: This article found that negative emotional reactions to a negative outcome can lead people to switch away from the options that they believe are most likely to be successful on the next occasion, rather than beliefs about the earlier disappointing outcome.

TL;DR: This paper explored the relationship between collective efficacy and aspects of analytic or vigilant problem solving (Janis, 1989) in the context of group decision making and found that vigilant problem-solving would be most evident under conditions of relatively moderate collective efficacy, as opposed to either very high or very low collective efficacy.

TL;DR: The authors examined the effect of three feedback attributes (feedback control, feedback constructiveness, and feedback medium) on monitoring fairness judgments, performance, and satisfaction and found that supervisor-mediated feedback was associated with higher levels of monitoring fairness than was computer mediated feedback.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend research on task completion forecasts to examine tasks performed collaboratively by groups, and predictions generated through group discussion, and they find that participants tend to focus primarily on factors promoting successful task completion, and this selective focus on planning for success enhanced their optimistic outlook.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of using e-mail as a communication medium (versus pen-and-paper) when conducting performance appraisals of peers was explored across three empirical studies.

TL;DR: This paper found evidence for a sequential mitigation effect, which is the phenomenon that participation in a prior impulsive choice task significantly reduces the decision maker's likelihood of choosing impulsively in a subsequent task.

TL;DR: The authors describe four broad characterizations of subjective probability calibration (overconfidence, conservatism, ecologically perfect calibration, and case-based judgment) and show how Random Support Theory (RST) can serve as a tool for representing, evaluating, and discriminating between these perspectives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that intricate pre-planned arguments enable negotiators to dominate the conversation and ultimately the outcome when the communication media involves the expectation of rapid turn-taking, because counterparts cannot generate rebuttals in time and end up making concessions.

TL;DR: Results show that decisions made in the screening mode tend to induce over-confidence; the discrimination mode leads to fast learning and high correspondence between performance and confidence; and the detailed feedback provided in the classification mode results in slow and steady improvement of the correspondence between confidence and performance.

TL;DR: This paper examined the effect of anticipated regret and social takeover on persistence on an investment task, and found that both of them increased the tendency to stick with an investment, on average, when another person could take over from their previous investments and when feedback was provided.

TL;DR: This article examined how differences in cultural orientation influence causal attributions and thus the behavioral outcomes in an incomplete information bargaining situation using ultimatum bargaining, three experiments demonstrate that acceptance rates differ across Western and East Asian cultures because of the differences in implicit theories of behavior.
