Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of the effect of attribution bias on commitment escalation and the effect of negative framing on commitment escalation in investment decisions of Small and Micro Enterprise (SMEs) in West Sumatra. The total respondent of this study was 90 respondents. Data collection technique used was questionnaire. The data was analyzed by using one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software. There is no difference in the commitment escalation, whether the decision maker links the cause of the project error with internal factors or the decision maker that causes the project error with external factors. Decision makers are more likely not to escalate commitments or prefer to delay project operations.
