The Blame-Taker's Dilemma: Actions and Reactions in the Wake of Organizational Failure
Abstract: The research focuses on blame-taking, examining its independent incidence and effectiveness after an organizational failure.
Study 1 investigated incidence, asking consultants to reflect on a failure that they had personally experienced.
Study 2 sampled separate consultants from the same firm; they reacted to someone who took blame or expressed remorse for the Study 1 stories.
Study 3 replicated these effects and documented a reason: blame-taking establishes an actor’s character more than remorse does.
