1/N Can ethical people gain power inside unethical organizations? In our new paper with @bahniks.bsky.social (and originally @mvranka.bsky.social, before he left our team), we study a difficult problem: prosocial will may not be enough when the dominant coalition benefits from harmful practices.

1/ New paper out: Nicolas Say, Lucie Vrbová, and I tested whether a very simple nudge can improve the forecasting performance of business students. The prompt asked students to consider multiple future scenarios and credible evidence sources before making predictions.

1/N After 5 years in the making, this paper is finally out. “How to React in the Case of Powerful Transgressors: Kill Them With Kindness or Punishment?” We study situations in which a superior acts unethically and what actually follows from punishing, forgiving, or avoiding them.

Are teachers objective and impartial when grading (business school) students? Our new (with @bahniks.bsky.social and Simon Senčar) mixed-methods paper examines “grade enhancement”: the practice of raising grades without corresponding improvements in performance. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mNHq38nsw...

1/n New research alert! 🚨Our study (led by Nikola Frollová; me and Marcel Tkáčik helping) explores a common organizational error: attributing too much influence to leaders on teams' task outcomes. Spoiler alert: luck plays a bigger role than we think! 🍀
