Consensus Bias

Macintosh (Computer)

Microsoft (Operating System)

This study investigates how workers react to changes in everyday work procedures. Employees in an on-campus administrative unit were surveyed for their responses to the change from a Macintosh to a PC computing system. Three underlying themes were extracted from the employee responses. These themes consisted of: 1) variations in learning time; 2) a false consensus bias; and, 3) complexity issues. Implications for management are discussed.
