Summary
Participative decision-making (PDM) requires clear definitions. This study proposes defining PDM as involvement and introducing participative information decision-making (PIDM) to include influence for better organizational strategies.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Behavior
- Management Science
- Decision-Making Theory
Background:
- Participative decision-making (PDM) is a critical organizational topic.
- The definition and scope of PDM are often unclear, leading to confusion with related concepts.
- Distinguishing between PDM types and strategies is essential for effective implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To clarify the definition of participative decision-making (PDM).
- To propose a model for the group decision-making process.
- To introduce a new concept, participative information decision-making (PIDM), incorporating influence.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of existing literature on PDM.
- Development of a theoretical model for group decision-making.
- Distinction between involvement and influence in decision-making processes.
Main Results:
- PDM is precisely defined as 'involvement' in the decision-making process.
- A clear differentiation is made between various participation strategies.
- The concept of participative information decision-making (PIDM) is introduced, emphasizing the role of influence.
Conclusions:
- Precise definition of PDM as involvement is crucial for clarity.
- The inclusion of influence is vital for a comprehensive understanding of participative decision-making.
- The proposed PIDM concept offers a more nuanced framework for organizational decision-making.
