title = "Policy-capturing: An ingenious technique for exploring the cognitive bases of work-related decisions",
abstract = "Policy-capturing is an experimental technique potentially capable of providing powerful insights into the cognitive bases of work-related decision processes by revealing actors{\textquoteright} {\textquoteleft}implicit{\textquoteright} models of the problem at hand, thereby opening up the {\textquoteleft}black box{\textquoteright} of managerial and organizational cognition (MOC). This chapter considers the strengths and weaknesses of policy-capturing vis-{\`a}-vis alternative approaches that seek to capture, in varying ways, the inner workings of people{\textquoteright}s minds as they make decisions. It then outlines the critical issues that need to be addressed when designing policy-capturing studies and offers practical advice to would be users concerning some of the common pitfalls of the technique and ways of avoiding them.
