Excerpt from Some Models of Organization Response to Budgeted Multiple Goals Models MM

This paper represents a further attempt to construct models to predict the behavior of individuals who are faced with effort allocation decisions among several areas which compete for his total effort. While we have chosen to impute to these individuals certain kinds of maximizing intent the resulting optimal behavior in fact resembles satisficing in some of these models. In the models to be presented here as well as in our earlier paper {24}, the models are constructed utilizing knowledge or theory of human behavior which may be found in or inferred from the psychological literature where such know 2 ledge or theory exists. Inasmuch as psychologists have concerned themselves little with testing the way in which aspiration levels or goals affect task performance where only one performance area is involved, and even less where multiple tasks exist, much of the hypothesizing is based upon what reasonable behavior would be in light of what evidence and theory is available.

Each of the models is constructed upon a set of assumptions about what an individual wants to do - e.g. minimize the risk of unacceptable performance - and proceeds to an optimal pattern of effort allocation for him should he be in fact working to achieve his desire. The optimal behavior patterns so deduced may be used to formulate hypotheses for experimental test.
