Abstract

Bound by biases and beliefs, we have a natural tendency to economize on effort and remain within a safe comfort zone of operation. Drawing upon behavioral theory, we scope out constraints when forming judgements and conceptualize how cognitive biases operate within environments of bounded rationality. We present a theoretical exploration of how human behavioral tendencies affect knowledge management in organizations, offering a more nuanced understanding of the costs associated with managing individual motives. We also examine the temporality underlying our perceptions of facts, evidence and ‘truths’, and propose behavioral change strategies for improving learning and cognition.
