Abstract
Although managers’ perceptions are core to the Performance Feedback Theory, few empirical studies measure managerial perceptions of their organization’s performance and theorize on the (in)consistency between perceptual and objective performance feedback. Based on longitudinal survey data of Canadian organizations, we examine how this (in)consistency affects the propensity for innovation in organizations. Our analysis broadly validates that inconsistency between the two types of feedback dampens innovation. Second, positive perceptions strengthen the relationship between positive objective performance feedback and innovation, leading to increased innovation, whereas negative perceptions strengthen the relationship between negative performance feedback and innovation, echoing the problemistic search hypothesis. We also find that perceptions moderate the effect of objective performance feedback differently in the social and historical dimensions as well above and below the aspiration thresholds.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
