Abstract

The cognitive demands imposed on managers in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments expose them to chronic stress, which may precipitate cognitive errors in strategic decision-making. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey, data were collected from 356 managers (response rate 91.1%; mean age 42.05 years, 54.8% male) across public and private Iranian
organizations.
