Testing the Incremental Validity of the Vroom±Jago Versus Vroom±Yetton Models of Participation in Decision Making
نویسندگان
چکیده
In three samples of manager-reported decisions the Vroom±Jago model's predictions were supported. Decisions that more closely ®t the recommended decision method were rated as higher in eectiveness. The model was also found to account for more variance in decision eectiveness than the prior Vroom± Yetton model. It was also found that the Vroom±Jago model's greater precision in situational assessment and derived prescriptions allow for greater discrimination in choice of decision method across all situations. # 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
