Managerial Decision Making about Employee Discipline: A Policy-Capturing Approach.

Klaas, Brian S.; Wheeler, Hoyt N.

Personnel Psychology, v43 n1 p117-34 Spr 1990

Examined how personnel managers (N=19) and line managers (N=28) make disciplinary decisions using policy-capturing approach. Findings suggested that factors likely to affect attributions about reason for a disciplinary problem were important determinants of disciplinary decisions. Considerable weight was assigned to either provocation, tenure, or personal problems. (Author/ABL)
