Using data from 14 countries and 186 institutions, we compare ChatGPT and student performance for 28,085 questions from accounting assessments and textbook test banks. As of January 2023, ChatGPT provides correct answers for 56.5 percent of questions and partially correct answers for an additional 9.4 percent of questions. When considering point values for questions, students significantly outperform ChatGPT with a 76.7 percent average on assessments compared to 47.5 percent for ChatGPT if no partial credit is awarded and 56.5 percent if partial credit is awarded. Still, ChatGPT performs better than the student average for 15.8 percent of assessments when we include partial credit. We provide evidence of how ChatGPT performs on different question types, accounting topics, class levels, open/closed assessments, and test bank questions. We also discuss implic...

Using compensation information in IRS Form 990, we find that high CEO compensation negatively influences the number of future volunteers working for the nonprofit organization if executive compensation is considered to be excessively high, or if there is media attention regarding their CEO compensation. These effects are most pronounced in smaller and more charitable organizations. Hence, our study presents previously undocumented implications of high executive compensation levels in the nonprofit sector.

A particularly interesting and popular concept leading to higher levels of performance is workers’ organisational commitment (OC). Managers are eager to stimulate OC, yet the question of how remains. This literature review investigates to what extent applied leadership styles affect workers’ commitment. Nine possible relations between different leadership styles and OC-dimensions are discussed based on literature findings. An analysis and synthesis of available research reveals strong positive relations between transformational leadership and the affective and normative aspects of commitment. Furthermore, transactional leadership seems to positively influence all aspects of OC. Laissez-faire leadership on the other hand is shown to weaken affective and normative commitment. Yet, all effects are dependent on contexts. This review contributes to the literature in the field of OB by bringing together existing knowledge on the subjects and its implications could serve as a road sign for managers looking to improve workers’ commitment. This thesis concludes with recommendations for future research.
