Resumen

Los directivos realizan evaluaciones y toman decisiones que pueden estar sesgadas y, como consecuencia, provocar efectos contrarios a los deseados en el rendimiento organizacional. La identificación de los sesgos y sus causas han sido ampliamente estudiadas en la literatura de contabilidad y control de gestión en las últimas décadas. El objetivo de este trabajo es sintetizar los resultados previos, lo cual permite disponer de una visión más clara y comprensiva del papel de los Sistemas de Contabilidad y Control de Gestión (SCCG) en relación a los sesgos en las decisiones y evaluaciones. Como resultado se obtiene un marco conceptual en el que los SCCG se postulan al mismo tiempo como generadores e inhibidores de sesgo, en función de sus propias características y de las características de los usuarios. Este resultado permite que profesionales (especialmente los controllers) y académicos conozcan mejor los procesos de utilización de la información generada por los SCCG y así actúen en consecuencia.
