IMPACT OF BEHAVIOR ON DECISION MAKING

A manager being a human being, behaves in a peculiar way in a given situation. The response of one manger may not be same as that of two mangers as they differ in behavior platforms.

The mangers differ in their approach towards decision making in the organisation and therefore classified into two categories:

  • Achievement oriented managers:Such type of mangers always looks for excellence.They always opt for the best and enterprising in every aspect of decision making. He will endeavor to develop all possible alternatives. He would be scientific and therefore more rational.
  • Task oriented managers:Such type of managers looks for completion of the task somehow. They are not interested in identifying various new alternatives.

Managers personal values will definitely influence ultimately.Some managers show nature of risk avoidance. They have a conservative approach to decision making,i.e. low risk and no risk. even though decision tools are available . Choice of tools depends on the motives of the manager.Behavior is also influenced by position he holds in the organization. Fear and anxiety that personal image may be tarnished and career prospects in the organization may be spoiled due to defeat or failure.Manager behavior is mix of personal values, atmosphere in the organization, motives and motivation and resistance to change.
