    Structured group problem-solving methods increase the implementation of group solutions, regardless of problem complexity. Considering both the decision-making process and situation complexity optimizes solution implementation attempts.

    Area of Science:

    • Organizational Psychology
    • Healthcare Management
    • Nursing Leadership

    Background:

    • Implementing group-derived solutions in organizational settings presents challenges.
    • Understanding factors influencing the successful adoption of group decisions is crucial for healthcare professionals.
    • Supervisory nurses often face complex problems requiring collaborative solutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of group problem-solving methods and problem-situation complexity on the implementation of group solutions.
    • To determine how structured decision-making processes affect the rate of solution implementation.
    • To explore the interaction between decision-making processes and problem complexity in a real-world setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A laboratory-field experiment involving supervisory nurses from various organizations.

  • Random assignment to three groups with balanced research design.
  • Manipulation of three group decision-making processes and three levels of problem-situation complexity.
  • Measurement of the number of attempts to implement group-derived solutions.

    • Main Results:

    • Structured group decision-making processes significantly increased implementation attempts across all complexity levels.
    • A significant interaction effect was found between problem-situation complexity and the decision-making processes used.
    • The effectiveness of decision-making processes varied depending on the complexity of the problem situation.

    Conclusions:

    • Structured group decision-making processes are vital for enhancing the implementation of group solutions.
    • Both the type of decision-making process and the complexity of the problem situation must be considered to maximize implementation success.
    • Optimizing group solution implementation requires a tailored approach considering process structure and situational demands.
