The Influence of Cognitive‐based Group Composition on Decision‐making Process and Outcome
研究了基于迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标的群体构成（单一气质与多气质）对决策过程（问题形成、构思）和结果（绩效、决策时间）的影响，发现多气质构成能调节问题形成对绩效的作用。
The effects of cognitive‐based group composition on decision‐making process (problem formulation, ideation) and outcome (performance, time‐to‐decision) were investigated. Two types of composition based on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator were compared – a uni‐temperament group composition (all sensing‐judgers), common among supervisors and managers, and a multi‐temperament composition (a sensing‐judger, a sensing‐perceiver, an intuitive‐thinker, and an intuitive‐feeler). While significant relationships were found between the process and outcome stages, cognitive‐based group composition generally did not predict the decision‐making process or outcome variables. A significant interaction between group composition and problem formulation, however, suggests that a multi‐temperament (heterogeneous) composition can moderate the effect of problem formulation on performance. The implications of these findings for cognitive‐based group composition and decision making are discussed, along with suggestions for future research
