Perceived Environmental Uncertainty: An Individual or Environmental Attribute?

Lorenzi, Peter; And Others

Journal of Management, v7 n2 p27-41 Fall 1981

Explored the relationship of perceived environmental uncertainty (PEU) to environment and individual subjects' characteristics. Experimental manipulation of objective environmental uncertainty showed task-related PEU strongly related to this objective uncertainty manipulation, and secondarily to individual characteristics. Results suggest task-related operationalizations of PEU minimize individual differences. (Author/JAC)
