Judgement and Decision Making in the Workplace

   Decision-making has long been seen as a key aspect contributing to organizational

 

efficiency and worker satisfaction in complex social environments such as

 

workplace organizations. As a result, theories including the organizational choice

 

model, strategic decision-making, and naturalistic decision-making have been

 

developed based on research into the impact of organizations on decision-makers.

 

This article explains how people make bad decisions and how seemingly little

 

elements can lead to irrational decisions. Decision-making scholars have lately

 

shown that biases and errors in human judgment can be addressed or even

 

exploited to influence people to make better life choices. The article then moves on

 

to two themes about how to enhance workplace decisions.

​

​

   The first is how to decrease biases in judgments, and the second is how to

 

promote better decisions by shaping the environment. The article goes through

 

some of the important issues that have occupied judgment and decision-making

 

scholars in recent years, as well as how these issues pertain to the workplace. The

 

article invites readers to consider the following questions: what is the correct way to

 

make a workplace decision, and how do people actually make these decisions?

 

When should decision-makers be more decisive, and when should they be more

 

deliberate? This contrast has prompted a substantial amount of research into the

 

decision-making processes and outcomes of the two systems.
