Image compatibility and the use of problem space information in resource allocation decisions: testing a moderating effects model

Article Abstract:

A model is developed to determine the relationship between image compatibility and problem space information usage in resource allocation decisions. Results show that problem space information usage is influenced by image compatibility perceptions. High image compatibility leads to lower information use while low image compatibility leads to higher information use. These findings also indicate that image compatibility is effective in evaluating information use in decision making tasks.

Fines, frames, and images: examining formulation effects on punishment decisions

Article Abstract:

A study of how punishment decisions are influenced by formulation effects found that fines imposed by disciplinary agents were biased by objectively equivalent information framed in a positive or negative way. Results showed that framing affected perceptions of image compatibility and that differences in image compatibility are linked to differences in fines. Fines were found to increase as the incompatibility of a decision maker's image of the offending party increases.

Affect, risk, and decision criticality: replication and extension in a business setting

Article Abstract:

A study was done to evaluate research findings on the role of affect, risk and decision criticality in business decision making. A field study of 113 members from an interational engineering company shows that task-related affect, perceived risk and perceived decision criticality condition individuals' response to organizational dilemmas with uncertain outcomes. However, these results differed slightly from other research findings.
