School of Business and Management Department of Management 213 Perceptions of AI in Organizations Supervisor: Thomas Bradford BITTERLY / MGMT Student: WANG Xueqing / OM Course: UROP 1000, Summer This report details my involvement in a research project examining how varying levels of artificial intelligence (AI) involvement in feedback systems influence perceptions of trust, competence, and warmth. Conducted with 2,202 participants, the study revealed that higher AI involvement typically reduces these perceptions, though transparent framing of the AI role can mitigate this decline, offering valuable insights into human-AI dynamics. My contributions spanned data analysis using Stata and R, coding for data processing, citation checking starting with the first file, and manuscript review to ensure accuracy and clarity. This experience deepened my understanding of research methodologies and sparked a growing interest in experimental design and ethical AI applications. The lessons learned extend beyond this project, emphasizing the importance of rigor, collaboration, and the broader implications of AI trust, including its practical applications and inherent limitations. Judgment and Decision Making in Organizations Supervisor: David HAGMANN / MGMT Student: MAK Tin Nok / DA Course: UROP 1100, Spring This progress report presents the ongoing research project “Judgement and Decision Making in Organizations”, with the topic title “Special Cases: Supply and Demand for Policy Exceptions.” The study aims to investigate how organizations manage requests for exceptions to established policies and rules, focusing on the behavioral dynamics between employees who request exceptions and organizations that decide whether to grant them. The project explores employees’ motivated reasoning of their requests and the organization’s need to balance costs and benefits when granting or rejecting exceptions. The report outlines the conceptual framework, preliminary discussions, and the development of a survey designed to capture personal experiences, perceptions of fairness and precedence setting, and the economic and social consequences of granting or denying exceptions. Plans for future experimental studies are also discussed.
