Hi

I read your post about the concept of Perception and Decision Processes. Attribution

Theory also presents flaws, stating that while making judgments about other people's conduct,

there is a propensity to underestimate the importance of external causes while overestimating the

impact of internal or personal elements, known as fundamental attribution mistakes (Martinko &

Mackey, 2019). The writers also teach the self-serving idea, claiming that people prefer to regard

complex information as fairly attractive, accept good comments, and avoid bad responses. As

previously stated, context is critical when it comes to perception. As a result, managers must

evaluate the attitudes of different cultures regarding self–serving bias. Managers are aware of

frequent decision-making cognitive biases. Robbins and Judge share confirmation bias,

overconfidence, anchoring bias, and availability bias, as well as risk avoidance, commitment

inflation, and retrospect bias. Furthermore, organizational restrictions and morals influence

decision-making. Stereotyping can present issues for certain managers when making moral

decisions since it denies the worker the ability to be independent. As a result, it will be an

unethical decision (Casad & Bryant, 2016).
