Abstract: | A decision-making study was conducted to examine the effects of moral hazard on information systems (IS) professional decisions whether or not to implement a system with quality problems. Moral hazard was defined as an incentive to act in one's self-interest in conflict with the organization's overall goals while being able to hide those actions through privately held information. Highly experienced IS professionals provided responses to a hypothetical decision case that revealed a tendency to implement a project with quality problems in a moral hazard situation. |
