摘要

我们利用企业行为理论和前景理论来研究决策者所面临的绩效反馈(决策语境)和备选方案的特征(决策内容)是如何共同决定组织风险选择的。虽然企业行为理论已经确定了绩效反馈在推动组织冒险决策方面的重要作用,但它没有考虑备选方案的内在属性,特别是其结果的大小和可能性,而这一直是前景理论的重点。我们认为,这两个属性在决策者对备选方案的评估中起着关键作用,但由于实现组织目标是组织的主要目标,因此绩效反馈驱动决策者如何处理有关这些属性的信息。分析了23,895个来自美国国家橄榄球联盟的第四次进攻决定,我们发现决策者在他们的选择中权衡了成就差异以及结果的大小和可能性,这取决于截止日期的接近程度。此外,成就差异的大小和效价改变了风险选择结果的大小和可能性的权重。我们的论点和研究结果提出了对企业行为理论的扩展,并暗示了在应用于组织背景时对前景理论的修改。

The Two Blades of the Scissors: Performance Feedback and Intrinsic Attributes in Organizational Risk Taking
We draw on the behavioral theory of the firm and prospect theory to examine how performance feedback (decision context) and the characteristics of the alternatives (decision content) that decision makers face jointly determine organizational risk-taking choices. While the behavioral theory of the firm has identified performance feedback’s important role in driving organizational risk-taking decisions, it has not considered the intrinsic attributes of alternatives, specifically the magnitude and likelihood of their outcomes, which have been the focus of prospect theory. We argue that these two attributes play a key role in decision makers’ assessment of alternatives, but because achieving organizational goals is the prime objective in organizations, performance feedback drives how decision makers process information regarding these attributes. Analyzing 23,895 fourth-down decisions from the U.S. National Football League, we find that decision makers weigh attainment discrepancy and the magnitude and likelihood of outcomes in their choices, depending on deadline proximity. Furthermore, the size and valence of attainment discrepancy modify the weight of the magnitude and likelihood of outcomes in risky choices. Our arguments and findings suggest extensions to the behavioral theory of the firm and imply modifications to prospect theory when applied to the organizational context.
