An Adaptive Network Model for a Double Bias Perspective on Learning from Mistakes within Organizations
Abstract
Although making mistakes is a crucial part of learning, it is still often being avoided in companies as it is considered as a shameful incident. This goes hand in hand with a mindset of a boss who dominantly believes that mistakes usually have negative consequences and therefore avoids them by only accepting simple tasks. Thus, there is no mechanism to learn from mistakes. Employees working for and being influenced by such a boss also strongly believe that mistakes usually have negative consequences but in addition they believe that the boss never makes mistakes, it is often believed that only those who never make mistakes can be bosses and hold power. That’s the problem, such kinds of bosses do not learn. So, on the one hand, we have bosses who select simple tasks to be always seen as perfect. Therefore, also they believe they should avoid mistakes. On the other hand, there exists a mindset of a boss who is not limited to simple tasks, he/she accepts more complex tasks and therefore in the end has better general performance by learning from mistakes. This then also affects the mindset and actions of employees in the same direction. This paper investigates the consequences of both attitudes for the organizations. It does so by computational analysis based on an adaptive dynamical systems modeling approach represented in a network format using the self-modeling network modeling principle.
