Resumo: | Managerial time orientation (MTO) is a topic that has received increasing attention in recent decades by the accounting literature. However, confusion still exists regarding the understanding of what MTO really means. It is argued that one of the reasons for this is the lack of studies that seek to conceptually specify the dimensions of MTO. The general objective of this study is to highlight evidences of the literature based in economics that contributes to a broader understanding of MTO. Specifically, it is intended to (i) show that managerial myopia is only one dimension of a broader concept called intertemporal choices and (ii) propose a conceptual framework which can be the base to identified and precisely defined each dimension identified based on two criteria: a) consistency of behavior, where individuals have different levels of consistency between the desired behavior and current behavior; and b) timing of the benefits of the choices made by individuals, such benefits may be concentrated in short term or long term. Based on these two criteria, it may be suggested the existence of four dimensions for MTO: managerial myopia, managerial hyperopia, procrastination and anticipation. As challenges for future research there are both the development of measurement tools able to capture each of these dimensions and the consistency between the theory used, size of explored MTO and interpretation of the evidences obtained in the same study. |

No entanto, confusão ainda existe quanto ao entendimento do que OTG realmente significa. Argumenta-se que uma das razões para tanto é a ausência de estudos que busquem especificar conceitualmente as dimensões de OTG. O objetivo geral deste estudo é destacar evidências da literatura baseada em economia que contribui para um entendimento mais amplo de OTG. Especificamente, pretende-se (i) demonstrar que miopia gerencial representa apenas uma dimensão de um conceito mais amplo denominado de escolhas intertemporais e (ii) propor uma estrutura conceitual (framework) com base na qual possam ser identificadas e definidas precisamente cada uma das dimensões identificadas a partir de dois critérios: a) consistência do comportamento, em que os indivíduos apresentam diferentes níveis de consistência entre o comportamento desejado e o comportamento atual; e b) momento de ocorrência dos benefícios decorrentes das escolhas realizadas pelos indivíduos, podendo tais benefícios estarem concentrados no curto-prazo ou no longo-prazo. Com base nesses dois critérios, pode-se sugerir a existência de quatro dimensões para OTG: miopia gerencial, hiperopia gerencial, procrastinação e antecipação. Têm-se como desafios para futuras pesquisas tanto o desenvolvimento de instrumentos de mensuração capazes de captar cada uma dessas dimensões quanto a consistência entre teoria utilizada, dimensão de OTG explorada e interpretação das evidências obtidas em um mesmo estudo.Universidade Regional de Blumenau2011-10-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojsrevista.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/article/view/210510.4270/ruc.20117Revista Universo Contábil; v. 7 n. 4 (2011); 06-211809-33371809-3337reponame:Revista Universo Contábilinstname:Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB)instacron:FURBporhttps://ojsrevista.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/article/view/2105/1762Copyright (c) 2014 Revista Universo Contábilinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAguiar, Andson Braga de2011-11-23T00:44:03Zoai:ojs.bu.furb.br:article/2105Revistahttps://proxy.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/PUBhttps://proxy.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/oai||universocontabil@furb.br1809-33371809-3337opendoar:2011-11-23T00:44:03Revista Universo Contábil - Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB)false |

Managerial time orientation (MTO) is a topic that has received increasing attention in recent decades by the accounting literature.

The general objective of this study is to highlight evidences of the literature based in economics that contributes to a broader understanding of MTO. Specifically, it is intended to (i) show that managerial myopia is only one dimension of a broader concept called intertemporal choices and (ii) propose a conceptual framework which can be the base to identified and precisely defined each dimension identified based on two criteria: a) consistency of behavior, where individuals have different levels of consistency between the desired behavior and current behavior; and b) timing of the benefits of the choices made by individuals, such benefits may be concentrated in short term or long term.
