Other-regarding Preferences and Management Styles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use a laboratory experiment to examine whether and to what extent other-regarding preferences (efficiency, inequality aversion and maximin concerns) of team managers influence their management style in choice under risk. We find that managers who prefer efficiency are more likely to exercise an autocratic management style by ignoring preferences of their team members. Equality concerns have no significant impact on management styles. Elected managers have a higher propensity than exogenously assigned managers to use a democratic management style by reaching team consensus. We also find that male managers employ a democratic style more often than women.

متن کاملAutomatic Student Modelling for Detecting Learning Styles in Learning Management Systems
Providing adaptivity based on learning styles can support learners and make learning easier for them. However, for providing proper adaptivity, the learning styles of learners need to be known first. While most systems, which consider learning styles, use questionnaires in order to identify learning styles, we propose an automatic student modelling approach, which analyses the actual behaviour ...
