This paper studies the effects of formal structure on individuals' search behavior when learning from past performance is difficult. We argue that managerial authority in the form of procedural control induces accountability among subordinates tasked with the search for alternatives to a given problem. Subordinate accountability, so we argue and show, creates an action bias among employees leading them to exhibit more exploratory search behavior than they would otherwise. Exploration is thus susceptible to the framing of managerial control. We test and confirm our hypotheses in a laboratory experiment, employing a modified version of Billinger, Stieglitz, and Schumacher's (2014) "alien game"." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
