Description Organizations are constantly faced with determining proper punishment or consequences for employees who commit acts to the contrary of company regulations and policies. Commonly Judge - Advisor Systems (JAS) are built into the hierarchy of conventional organizations, and they can have an impact on these decisions. In a JAS one or more persons act as an advisor giving recommendations or guidance to one or more persons in the judge role who ultimately makes a decision. This paper examines the impact that JAS and the management hierarchy system has on disciplinary decisions made in the corporate atmosphere. There were 157 participants in the online survey. The survey simulated the review of files for an employee review board hearing. The relationship between advisor and advice utilization as well as the relationship between severity of crime and advice utilization were discussed.
