STRATEGI UNTUK MENGURANGI KECENDERUNGAN MANAJER MELAKUKAN ESKALASI KOMITMEN DENGAN LOKUS KENDALI SEBAGAI VARIABEL PEMODERASI

ABSTRACT: Escalation of commitment has been recognized as a seriously problem that happened in the organization. The existency of this phenomenon must be reduced by developing strategies that can be implemented by manager. This study uses experimental methods to explore whether the escalation of commitment phenomenon can be reduced by implementing strategies such as providing unambiguous negative feedback information, a progress report, and future benefits information. Using 32 students of Master of Science in Accounting and Management of STIE YKPN Yogyakarta, the 1x4 experimental research design has done succesfully. Finding in this study indicates that only a progress report that can be used to reduce the tendency of manager for doing an escalation of commitment. This study also examines the role of locus ofcontrol in moderating the effect of these strategies on escalation of commitment’s decision. The questioner that consists of 16 questions about The Work Locus of Control Scale has used to classify subjects into two categories, internal and external. After hypothesis test using Two Ways ANOVA with interaction, the results indicates that no one of the three strategies have moderated by locus of control. So we can conclude that the interaction of locus of control in these strategies doesn’t affect the escalation of commitment’s decision.
