After a discussion of the fundamental definitions and concepts of the New Institutional Economics, I turn to the critical comparison with other schools of thought. It is shown that the New Institutional Economics does not break fundamentally from the neoclassical economics. To the contrary, it can be fairly argued that the New Institutional Economics is a research program which is developed within and around the dominant neoclassical paradigm. On the other hand, it is argued that the Old and New Institutional Economics constitute two distinct approaches to the analysis of institutions, stemming from different paradigmatic viewpoints that produce and nurture contrasting perspectives on how to theoretically tackle institutions.

{"title":"The Status Quo Bias of Students and Reframing as an Educational Intervention towards Entrepreneurial Thinking and Change Adoption","authors":"Stojan Debarliev, Aleksandra Janeska-Iliev, Viktorija Ilieva","doi":"10.15458/ebr105","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15458/ebr105","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this research study is to examine the status quo bias and reframing interventions among business students in an attempt to understand their role in the students’ entrepreneurial decision making, aiming eventually to find out whether we can affect students’ entrepreneurial thinking by using an educational intervention towards innovation and change adoption. Though these research topics have previously been examined separately and mostly in a non-entrepreneurial context, this research paper aims to integrate them into one laboratory experiment study in an educational context, considering business students at the university. The experimental study is conducted on a sample with more than 200 undergraduate university students in their third or fourth year of studies of the Management study program at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje. Overall, we find that students are significantly biased towards status quo in 7 out of 18 cases, demonstrating a moderate level of status quo bias. The results from the second part of our study evidence a strong effect of the reframing intervention on overcoming the status quo bias. In any case, the research paper adds a unique practical contribution by offering an actual entrepreneurship learning approach, as an intervention towards the innovation and change adoption among students at business schools and universities.

{"title":"Knowledge Management in Social Work: Management Support, Incentives, Knowledge Implementation, and Employee Empowerment","authors":"Simon Colnar, Vlado Dimovski","doi":"10.15458/EBR107","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15458/EBR107","url":null,"abstract":"In this article, we build on the current research about knowledge management in social work settings to demonstrate that knowledge management has the potential to enable social work organizations to influence public policies and improve the quality of their services. By increasing awareness and information about knowledge management in the field of social work, our goal is to examine a direct positive relationship between management support and incentives and knowledge implementation. In addition, as we wanted to explore the moderating effect of employee empowerment on knowledge implementation, we define and test several hypotheses in order to discover how management support, incentives and employee empowerment impact knowledge implementation in social work settings. We use moderation regression to test our hypotheses with a sample of 98 managers and employees of social work organizations in Slovenia who completed a questionnaire specifically prepared for the study. The study results support the existence of a significant and positive relationship between management support and incentives with knowledge implementation. Employee empowerment also acts as a moderator in the relationship between incentives and knowledge implementation, however, the interaction term is negative. In any case, the highest levels of knowledge implementation occur when employee empowerment is high as well. In the conclusion of the paper, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications derived from the research study.

Raziskovalci opozarjajo na pomembnost razumevanja tematike usklajevanja poklicnega in zasebnega življenja podjetnikov (Jennings & McDougald, 2007; Kirkwood & Tootell, 2008; Leaptrott, 2009), saj so podjetniki gonilo gospodarskega razvoja (Schumpeter idr., 2002), kljucni zaposlovalci (Kelley idr., 2010) in vir inovacij (Brouwer, 2002; Kelley idr., 2010). Razumevanje mehanizmov usklajevanja vseh podjetnikovih vlog (pri delu in družini) in dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na uspesnost usklajevanja, je kljucno tako za podjetnike in vse, ki razmisljajo o podjetniski poti, kot za tiste, ki oblikujejo javne politike za podporo podjetnistvu in za njegovo pospesevanje. Glavni cilj prispevka je raziskati vpliv spremenljivk, ki so bile identificirane v teoreticni preverbi, na zadovoljstvo z usklajevanjem poklicnega in zasebnega življenja podjetnikov.

Glavno raziskovalno vprasanje je, kako socialna opora na delovnem mestu in v družini ter podjetnikova samoucinkovitost vplivata na zadovoljstvo z usklajevanjem poklicnega in zasebnega življenja. Rezultati nase studije kažejo, da obstaja statisticno znacilna in pozitivna povezava med samoucinkovitostjo in zadovoljstvom z usklajevanjem poklicnega in zasebnega življenja.

{"title":"Long-Term Auditor-Client Relationships: Conscious Misjudgements or Unconscious Biases?","authors":"Mina Ličen","doi":"10.15458/EBR94","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15458/EBR94","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of our study is to shed light on auditors’ cognitive drivers of bias inherent in long-term personal relationships with clients. We examine whether a long-term personal relationship invokes a conscious misjudgement because of a mutual long-term financial interest, or an unconscious bias invoked by affective motives and unconscious needs. The paper combines two theories, the first being the incentive based motivated reasoning (Kunda, 1990) and the second the need based motivation theory (McClelland, 1987). We analyse the problem with a two-player perfect-information sequential game within the framework of game theory, involving an accounting choice task. We find that the positive effect of a personal relationship on biased decision-making is mediated by a long-term financial interest rather than by an affective motive such as friendship. Unconscious needs are also found to influence subjects’ decisions. In other words, the need for achievement and the need for power reinforce auditor independent opinion and help them resist the pressure from clients, whereas the need for affiliation is accentuated in a personal relationship and positively affects auditor bias. The study provides an original empirical investigation of the drivers of behaviour in the auditing setting, while its results indicate that both conscious financial incentives and unconscious needs influence subjects’ decisions simultaneously. https://doi.org/10.15458/ebr94","PeriodicalId":30292,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Business Review","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74411819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
