The error dilemma in organizations: Integrating competing priorities
Abstract
Prevailing practices in organizations convincingly argue for a “both-and” approach to errors, meaning that organizations and their employees may simultaneously eliminate and welcome (and thus learn from) errors. Therefore, a team composition including two types of individuals – one focused on error avoidance and the other on learning – has been assumed to be optimal for minimizing team errors. We, however, propose that this combination may present an error dilemma that increases team errors. Building on theories of ambidexterity, goal orientation, error management, and team configuration, we investigate how strongly dual-goal (both avoidance and learning) oriented (SDGO) members on a team help to solve the error dilemma and reduce team errors. Using data collected from 685 employees in 58 teams from 4 organizations in Israel, we found that a high proportion of strongly performance avoidance oriented (SPAO) members, together with a high proportion of strongly learning goal oriented (SLGO) members, is positively or negatively associated with team errors depending on the proportion of SDGO members on a team. We explain the role of SDGO members with a moderated mediation model in which task information elaboration mediates the indirect relationship between SDGO members and team errors and moderates the interaction effect between SPAO and SLGO members on team errors.
