Spanish term or phrase: ilusión de control
Por otro lado, en lo referente a la elección, se aprecia en numerosas ocasiones una cierta ilusión de control por parte de los gerentes (Schwenk 1995). Las probabilidades de éxito suelen magnificarse por encima de sus valores objetivos, subestimando el riesgo inherente a la elección, considerando que el mismo puede disminuirse debido a sus habilidades de gestión

Is this illusion of control or desire for control? Or perhaps neither?
