Abstract

Employees of different backgrounds at different levels within an organization view the causes of poor performance differently. In a study using casino workers, supervisors were more willing to pinpoint lack of effort and poor supervision as causes in a test situation, where those with little experience on the casino floor were more likely to blame working conditions and task difficulty. Workers were also more responsive when the test case had served a length of time in the casino similar to their own.
