"ABSTRAKThe aim of this research is to investigate the effect of reward and punishment in escalation of commitment. The escalation of commitment is usually attributed to the decision maker if the project is unfavorable. This research also investigates the effect of organizational commitment to the decision to escalate or not to escalate the commitment. Experimental method is used in this research. There are 37 participants contribute to this research. The result of this research shows that the escalation of commitment level is higher if there is reward and punishment provided in the organization than if only reward provided. In other hand this level is higher if only punishment provided than if reward and punishment provided. It is mean that decision makers will avoid punishment, so they escalate their commitment. As predicted before organization commitment also effect escalation of commitment. The result shows that organizational commitment will decrease the level of escalation of commitment."

"Penelitian ini menguji dampak kecerdasan emosi (EI-Emotional Intelligence) terhadap eskalasi komitmen (EC-Escalation of Commitment) dan kinerja organisasi. Secara khusus, dampak langsung dan tidak langsung dari kecerdasan emosi diselidiki untuk mengevaluasi apakah EC harus dihambat atau dilanjutkan. Dengan menggunakan praktik perusahaan listrik di negara berkembang, kajian ini melibatkan 103 manajer area sebagai responden, dimana peran mereka sangat penting untuk mencapai sasaran penyebaran listrik di wilayah yang mereka pimpin. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Model Persamaan Struktural (SEM-Structural Equation Model).Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kecerdasan emosi memiliki dampak positif dan negatif terhadap eskalasi komitmen, dan juga terhadap kinerja. Dampak negatif terjadi jika komitmen lebih jauh terhadap proyek yang terindikasi gagal dievaluasi hanya dengan mempertimbangkan profitabilitas dan alokasi sumber daya semata. Namun, jika kecerdasan emosi dapat diartikulasikan dalam bentuk perilaku-perilaku berorientasi inovasi dan berorientasi pelanggan yang berdampak pada pencapaian tujuan organisasi lainnya, maka ia memiliki kapasitas untuk mendorong komitmen lebih jauh (misalnya ke arah eskalasi komitmen) menjadi kinerja yang baik. Semua temuan ini kemudian menyajikan penjelasan alternatif untuk mengevaluasi apakah eskalasi komitmen memang sebuah kesalahan pengambilan keputusan atau bukan.

This study examined the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on the escalation of commitment (EC) and organizational performance. Specifically, the direct and indirect impacts of emotional intelligence was investigated to evaluate whether an EC should be hindered or continued. Using the practises in the Indonesian Electricity Company, this study involves 103 area managers as respondents, where their role is crucial to achieve the multiple goal states of electricity distribution in the area that they led. The collected data was then analyzed using structural equation model (SEM).

The result showed emotional intelligence has both negative and positive impact on escalation of commitment, and also on performance. The negative impact occurs if the further commitment on the existing loser projects was evaluated by considering profitability and resource allocation only. However, if emotional intelligence can be articulated in the form of innovation-oriented and customer-oriented behaviors, which impact on other firm goal states, it has capacity to drive further commitment (i.e. escalation of commitment) into a good performance. This findings then provide an alternative explanation to evaluate whether escalation of commitment is a decision error or not."

"This study aims at empirically examining the extent to which Image Theory, initially developed as a theoretical basis for selecting a strategy or a decision, can be a theoretical basis for predicting a decision performance in two opposite frames: positive and negative. Image compatibility are employed to operationalize such a theory and the decision under study is progress decision represented by escalation of commitment. Thus, this study also empirically examines the connection between image compatibility and escalation of commitment as well as escalation of commitment as a mediator of the relationship between image compatibility and decision performance. The research context is Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) that suffered from crisis in the past year (negative frame) yet has been recovered recently (positive frame). The respondents are 229 individual investors in IDX. They are involved in day-to-day decision making (progress decision making) with regard to their investment portofolio. The results of this study show that high image compatibility tends to lead to better decision performance in both frames. However, image compatibility may only positively affect the escalation of commitment in positive frame."
