Naturalistic Investigation

Over the past two decades, substantial progress has been made in describing how frontline staff, such as nurses and military commanders, make rapid tactical decisions. Managerial decisions, by contrast, are often made relatively slowly. One important class of managerial decisions relates to staffing. Managers often make decisions regarding the hiring and promotion of staff that have significant consequences for both the company and staff. Relatively little is known about how people make decisions in these contexts. In this study, the authors examine how managers make employee promotion decisions. The participants in the study were 16 senior managers from a multinational beverage company. The critical decision method was used to elicit knowledge from the participants. The analyses examined the role of decision strategy, situation assessment, and decision evaluation. The findings suggest that senior managers make promotion decisions in a manner consistent with recognition-primed decision-making theory. Implications for training, design, and decision support are discussed.

Purpose This study aims to reveal the presence of products with negatively correlated nutrients in the marketplace and their implications for consumer choices. It also investigates the role of an overall simplified nutrition scoring system (SNSS) – health star rating (HSR), in improving the healthiness of consumer choices. Design/methodology/approach Three (lab, online and eye-tracking) experiments investigate the effects of negatively correlated nutrients and the mitigating role of an overall SNSS for consumers’ food choices. A final panel-data study analyzes the changes in actual food purchases after the introduction of HSRs (an SNSS) in Australia. Findings Experimental results show that consumers use a decision strategy based on a dominant nutrient to choose food products, which creates health halos and leads to less healthy choices when products have negatively correlated nutrients. The presence of an overall SNSS leads to more accurate healthiness perception and healthier choices. Panel data analysis shows that the healthiness of consumer food purchases increased after the introduction of HSRs. Research limitations/implications The study investigated the effect of an overall SNSS on specific categories, but not on the overall shopping basket. Practical implications For policymakers, this paper shows that overall SNSS helps consumers choose healthier options. Food manufacturers and retailers could be motivated to formulate healthier products when consumers choose healthier options. Originality/value This is the first study to document the presence of products with negatively correlated nutrients and their implications for consumer choices. It highlights the unique role of an overall SNSS, in helping consumers identify healthier options when products have negatively correlated nutrients.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
