Algorithmic Decision-Making in Organizations: Network Data Mining, Measuring and Monitoring Work Performance, and Managerial Control
Kathryn HarrowerABSTRACT. I develop a conceptual framework based on a systematic and comprehensive literature review on algorithmic decision-making in organizations. Building my argument by drawing on data collected from Bright & Company, Corporate Research Forum, Deloitte, Management Events, McKinsey, and Top Employers Institute, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding employees who understand data concepts very well or completely (% of respondents) and challenges to success with data and analytics (asked of those who reported being ineffective at meeting objectives, %). The data for this research were gathered via an online survey questionnaire and were analyzed through structural equation modeling on a sample of 4,600 respondents.
