The Effects of Group Decision-Making Process and Problem Situation Complexity on Implementation Attempts
研究了群体决策方法和问题情境复杂性如何影响成员在组织中实施群体解决方案的尝试次数，发现结构化决策过程能提高实施尝试率，且决策过程与问题复杂性存在交互效应。
The effects of group problem-solving method and problem-situation complexity on attempts at implementing group solutions were investigated in a laboratory-field setting. Group members were supervisory nurses from various organizations, who were randomly assigned to three groups in a balanced research design which included three group decision-making processes and three levels of problem-situation complexity in implementation. The dependent variable was the number of attempts at implementing group-derived solutions in home organizations. The results showed that structure in group decision-making processes led to increased rates of implementation attempts at all levels of problem-situation complexity. There was a significant complexity-by-process interaction effect among the decision-making processes, which supports the conclusion that the type of group decision-making process and the problem-situation complexity should be considered in order to optimize the number of implementation attempts.g
