The paper deals with behavioral economics. More precisely, the paper focuses on the degree of the anchoring effect, ie the degree of the use of the instruments for influencing and persuasion, that managers apply to manage their employees. Authors used the questionnaire to identify how much the anchoring effect is applied in enterprises with 100+ employees. The main goal of the paper is to find out how is the rate of the application of the anchoring effect by managers of enterprises with 100+ employees. The second goal of the paper is a comparison of the anchoring effect application in employee management in Prague and in Ostrava. Authors set three hypotheses in the beginning and the results confirm or reject them. The two basic assumptions led the authors of this paper to this research. The authors predicted that the anchoring effect for influencing employees are used much more often than is assumed. The authors also predicted that managers of Prague companies use anchoring methods more often than managers of Ostrava companies. Confirmation or rejection of the above assumptions is discussed.
