The experiment involved examining whether different ways of reporting a specific standard cost accounting situation resulted in differences in managers' evaluations. When actual costs differed significantly from standard, it was found that the form of the accounting report did have an impact on evaluations. The presentation and the frequency ...

摘要：A national study of key factors for motivation was conducted for three levels of MIS management. Analysis of the results show that MIS managers perceive their jobs to contain all the necessary ingredients for motivation. In two areas, however, problems exist. MIS managers at all three levels perceive supervisory feedback as needing improvement. So do their subordinates, as identified in a previous study. Also, the survey revealed both low social need and high growth need of MIS managers, compa...
