Risk Taking
People differ in their willingness to take chances, a quality that affects how much time
and information they need to make a decision. For instance, 79 managers worked on
simulated exercises that required them to make hiring decisions. 48 High risk-taking
managers made more rapid decisions and used less information than did the low risk
takers. Interestingly, decision accuracy was the same for both groups.
Recent findings suggest managers in large organizations may actually be more willing to
take risks than entrepreneurs.
A high risk-taking propensity may lead to more effective performance for a stock trader in
a brokerage firm because that type of job demands rapid decision
