Estilos de tomada de decisão: uma pesquisa com estudantes da UFPB

Abstract

Administrators face problems and situations in which they constantly need to make decisions. These are challenges that arise in a manager's daily life and it is their responsibility to seek quick and effective solutions to the problems presented. There are trivial decisions that are automatic and complex decisions that need to be thought through to resolve, such as managerial decision-making, which is one of the crucial activities that demands concentration from the manager. It is common knowledge that every human being is unique, therefore, everyone thinks and acts in their own way, which is why there are decision-making styles that help to understand how the decision-making process works. The research is exploratory in nature with a quantitative approach, and its research instrument is the application of a questionnaire with multiple-choice questions. When evaluating the results, the research shows that there is a dominant style but that the other styles are in balance given the results. Therefore, according to the analysis of the questionnaire, we have the most predominant behavioral style among the others.
