Abstract: The study aims to identify and integrate the antecedents of organizational myopia by a systematic review, providing a coherent conceptual framework to explain why organizations prioritize short-term results over long-term value creation. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Of the 2,020 records identified in Scopus and Web of Science, 133 empirical articles were selected for qualitative thematic synthesis to extract and classify myopia drivers. The results categorize antecedents into two broad contexts: Social and Technological. Social factors include cultural patterns, individual cognitive biases (e.g., narcissism, loss aversion), and stakeholder pressures. Technological factors involve systemic and financial procedures, such as financial reporting frequency and capital market pressures. This research fills a critical theoretical gap by synthesizing fragmented literature into an integrated "Hard and Soft" framework. It offers a novel "outside-in" perspective—moving from macro-culture to systemic procedures—to comprehensively understand the systemic nature of short-termism. The findings suggest that overcoming myopia requires addressing both measurable structural elements and complex behavioral/cultural dimensions. Managers can use the framework to design multi-faceted strategies, including reforming reward structures, fostering green cognition, and balancing innovation with shareholder demands.

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising banking by improving customer engagement and bank service personalisation. Yet, Ethical Deliberations (ED) on transparency, accountability, equity, and responsible data governance are crucial to the success of AI-powered personalisation. The present study explores the mediating effect of ED on the relationship between the adoption of AI and Personalised Banking Service (PBS) in the Ghanaian banking sector. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from employees of five selected banks in Ghana. Of the 408 questionnaires distributed, 344 usable responses were obtained, representing an 84.3% response rate, and were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results show that AI adoption is positively and significantly associated with PBS. Furthermore, ED plays a significant mediating role between AI adoption and PBS, suggesting that responsible AI governance enhances the effectiveness of investment in technology and the delivery of customer-focused banking services. The paper adds to the growing body of research on responsible AI and financial services, emphasising the role of ED as a key linkage between AI adoption and PBS in an emerging-market setting. Bank executives, regulators and policymakers interested in fostering innovation while remaining ethically responsible will find the findings of interest.
