Abstract/Summary

This study systematically reviews the literature on individual on-the-fly decision making within organizations and introduces an organizational framework to guide future research. The proposed organizational framework comprises four primary factor groups that emerged inductively from the analysis. These include organization-, job-, task-, and individual-related factors. Furthermore, this study proposes an agenda to guide future research aimed at reconciling existing contradictory explanations and closing research gaps. Finally, this study has implications for managerial practices.
