Organizational behavior

Name/focus Description Result/findings References
Organizational governance An agent‐based model of an economic society where agents have their own goals and protect their self‐interests. They can also change their behaviors in response to interaction with other agents and the environment. Goals at the macro level can be achieved without controlling self‐interested economic agents at the micro level. (Takadama et al., 2001)
Human resource management An evolutionary computational model to study the migration decisions of individuals in an organization, which is influenced by their own characteristics and that of the environment, such as organizational culture. Artificial worlds enable experiments relating to people that are infeasible to perform in the real world. (Chen et al., 2002)
Civil violence A model to study civil violence using the spatial evolutionary multi‐agent social network in which agents evolve their strategies over time using independent learning and collective coevolution. The simulation shows the emergence of interesting patterns in group movement and behavioral development. (Quek et al., 2009)
Consensus A model to explore the evolution of consensus, where a population of simulated organisms subject to mutations and natural selection, is placed into groups whose fitness depends on their ability to reach consensus in a user‐defined environment. Genetic heterogeneity within groups increases the difficulty of the consensus task, but groups were able to overcome these obstacles and evolve this cooperative behavior. (Knoester et al., 2013)
