EFFECTS OF DELEGATED CHOICE ON PERFORMANCE
研究委托选择（任务调度和目标选择）对绩效的影响，发现委托调度选择在某些条件下适得其反，而委托目标选择有积极效果，表明委托的任务方面很重要。
The delegation process has not been subjected to adequate scientific examination. This study examines the effects of delegated choice over scheduling of activities (ordering of events) and over selection of goals (degree of challenge). Subjects made financial predictions based upon accounting data as input. Prediction accuracy was the dependent measure. Interestingly, under some conditions, delegation of choice over scheduling activities backfired. There were initial positive effects, however, from delegating choice over the selection of goals. Clearly the aspect of the task being delegated appears important. One cannot assume allowing others choice over some aspects of the task will be associated with positive outcomes.
