Seminario para optar al título de Ingeniero Comercial, Mención Administración / The increased number and complexity of choices that take place in today’s
globalized world makes the need for “expert advice” more than ever in decision
making (Humphrey, Hollenbeck, Meyer, & Ilgen, 2002). Few decisions in
organizational contexts, however, are structured like juries. The need in
organizational contexts for accountability and speed generally means that
hierarchical authorities make decisions, typically after receiving input from a
staff or subordinates or other informed parties (Humphrey, Hollenbeck, Meyer,
& Ilgen, 2002).
Given this context, the aim of this work redeems to giving a broad set of
concepts related to a particular case of advice taking, which is upward advice
transmission in organizations, which affects in performance feedback through
mechanisms of self-defense, like self-enhancement. To achieve this, an
extensive literature review is done from general terms to more particular ones,
defining processes as Decision Making, Advice Transmission, the particular
case of Upward Advice Transmission (UAT) and some mechanisms that may
make this phenomenon more difficult to happen, essentially, the one described
as self-enhancement.
This work provides the theoretical bases for future research in a subject that has
been undertaken and understudied, especially in a context where most
organizations are interested in empowerment. By reading this work, the reader
should be able to dimension the connections between the subjects mentioned
above and have some insights on what future research should aim for.
