Picture a familiar scene. A spreadsheet. A dashboard. A weekly check-in. You are asked a simple question that is never actually simple: “So, how did it go?” And somewhere between what happened and what will be judged, there is a fog. Not the poetic kind. The corporate kind. The kind made of shifting expectations, vague criteria, and leaders who say one thing on Monday and reward another on Friday. 😬📉 In that fog, a strange thing can happen. Not the dramatic, movie-villain kind of dishonesty. More like a small, human tilt of the truth. A number rounded up. A success story told a bit too cleanly. A performance polished until it shines. Not because someone is greedy, necessarily, but because someone is anxious. Because uncertainty is not just a condition. For some people, it is a sensation. It is unbearable. 🧠⚡ Today’s episode dives into a brand-new paper with a title that feels like a whisper and a warning: “Being dishonest to feel better: How intolerance of uncertainty fuels performance misreporting” by Sabra Khajehnejad, Amit Kumar, and Marwan Sinaceur, published online on 26 December 2025 in Accounting, Organizations and Society 📚🏛️, a truly prestigious FT50 journal. The paper is scheduled for June 2026, Volume 116, and it is published by Elsevier. Across six studies, the authors show something both unsettling and deeply recognizable: when performance evaluation uncertainty runs high, people who hate ambiguity are more likely to misreport performance, impulsively, almost like reaching for oxygen. Supervisor word-deed inconsistency, organizational change, market turbulence, all of it can crank up that uncertainty. And then come the feelings: discomfort, anxiety, that restless need to make the story tighter than reality. And the misreporting becomes less a scheme and more a coping mechanism. 😮‍💨📊 If you love research that doesn’t just measure behavior but listens for the emotion underneath it, you are in the right place.

And before we begin, heartfelt thanks to the authors, and to Elsevier, the publisher of this research article, for bringing this work into the world. 🙏📄 Now here’s the question that will stay with us: when the rules of evaluation get blurry, are people lying to get ahead, or are they lying just to finally feel steady again? 🤔🕯️
