Victor Vroom, a professor at Yale University and a scholar on leadership and decision-making, developed the normative model of decision-making. [1] Drawing upon literature from the areas of leadership, group decision-making, and procedural fairness , Vroom’s model predicts the effectiveness of decision-making procedures. [ 2 ]
The mythological Judgement of Paris required selecting from three incomparable alternatives (the goddesses shown).. Decision theory or the theory of rational choice is a branch of probability, economics, and analytic philosophy that uses the tools of expected utility and probability to model how individuals would behave rationally under uncertainty.
The situational theory argues the best style of leadership is contingent to the situation. This model suggests the selection of a leadership style of groups decision-making. Leader Styles. The Vroom-Yetton-Jago Normative Decision Model helps to answer above questions.
The decision options may be either all appealing or all unpleasant, and therefore the decision-maker is unable to choose. Flipism, i.e., flipping a coin can be used to find a solution. However, the decision-maker should not decide based on the coin but instead observe their own feelings about the outcome; whether it was relieving or agonizing.
Rational choice modeling refers to the use of decision theory (the theory of rational choice) as a set of guidelines to help understand economic and social behavior. [1] [2] The theory tries to approximate, predict, or mathematically model human behavior by analyzing the behavior of a rational actor facing the same costs and benefits.
However, the two are not the same. Branches of normative economics such as social choice, game theory, and decision theory typically emphasize the study of prescriptive facts, such as mathematical prescriptions for what constitutes rational or irrational behavior (with irrationality identified by testing beliefs for self-contradiction).
There are four axioms of the expected utility theory that define a rational decision maker: completeness; transitivity; independence of irrelevant alternatives; and continuity. [ 11 ] Completeness assumes that an individual has well-defined preferences and can always decide between any two alternatives.
