Using belief systems to control individual behavior in organizations
Description:

The rapid advance of technology has been making many routine jobs obsolete. As a consequence, jobs that require creativity and innovativeness, have been taking over the job market. For this reason, one of the most important challenges facing managers today is controlling employees’ alignment with organizational goals without restricting their initiative. Fortunately, the digital transformation trend has made it possible to study the decision-making process of workers in greater depth than was ever possible. Moreover, it allowed organizations to communicate their vision and values to the employees more effectively. We perform agent-based simulation studies to understand the behavior of workers in an organizational environment, their interactions, and the effect of organizational endeavors to utilize belief systems in management control.

Keywords: behavioral control, belief system, agent-based simulation, agent-based modelling, management control, levers of control
