Title: Move-the-Goalpost as a Response to Negative Performance Outcomes and Low Inferred Controllability
Abstract:
While prior research in organizational learning and performance feedback theory emphasizes adaptive and corrective search following performance shortfalls, emerging work suggests that organizations may instead disengage from learning. This study examines when organizations respond to negative performance outcomes by “moving the goalposts” (MTG)—lowering performance standards rather than engaging in corrective search. Drawing on attribution perspectives, we theorize that MTG is more likely when managers infer limited controllability over performance outcomes. Such inferences arise when external causes dominate internal ones, when internal and external causes are interdependent, and when performance exhibits high variability over time. We test these arguments using data from U.S. domestic airlines and exploit a regulatory change requiring airlines to report delay attributions. We operationalize MTG as schedule padding, or extending scheduled flight durations to buffer against delays. Using a 24-month panel, we find that schedule padding is more likely under conditions of low inferred controllability and high operational complexity. Our findings also suggest that performance improvements sometimes occur on routes where firms extend scheduled durations. This study challenges the dominant view that organizations primarily respond to poor performance through adaptive search, highlighting conditions under which managers instead redefine performance standards.
