Decision Making Styles

Decision making involves a complex process and quite a few styles are followed while making it. Some decision making styles are quite accurately behavioral while others are derived from various models that are followed. Some of the most popular styles of decision making include conceptual style, analytical, impulsive, fatalistic, proactive, flexible, behavioral, dependant and normative styles. Others are also followed while making a decision which include compliance, escape, agony, play it safe, procrastination, intuitive, rational, avoidant and spontaneous.

Among these styles, the fatalistic one is an extreme example. This usually means that the decision maker has resigned to fate and believes that he cannot change whatever is happening. The rational and analytical styles are largely dependant on various models of decision making. The impulsive style of arriving at a conclusion does not take into account the consequences. The individual normally follows his first reaction. Agony can also be a tool of deciding a matter at hand. It is an extremely powerful emotion which can force an individual into jumping to a conclusion.

When one deliberately chooses a false alternative to avoid being involved in the entire process, he is guided by the emotion to escape. Compliance is basically deciding on going with someone else’s judgment. Procrastination and play it safe methods are loosely related. Play it safe involves an evaluation of the alternatives available and choosing the one with least risk involvement. The Vroom-Jago model throws light on the dependant type. This model explains the situations when one must follow the dependant approach.

Someone taking the flexible approach can move freely between all the other styles. This method is mostly based on the circumstances that an individual is in. The normative approach preoccupies in how the verdict must be arrived at. The famous behaviorist Isabel Briggs Myers propounded a theory that the decision making process is dependant on the cognitive style of human being to a large extent. This personality indicator is based on four dichotomies including extroversion/introversion, thinking/feeling, sensing/intuition and judgment/perception. According to her, the other styles are determined by how people are scoring on these grounds. For instance, if an individual scores more on thinking, extroversion, judgment and sensing, he is more logical and empirical in decision making.
