The impact of individual differences on executives’ use of intuitive decision-making style: the moderating role of Covid-19 anxiety syndrome

2022-5
Erdoğan, Melisa Pırıl
This study has two purposes: (1) to investigate direct relationships between individual differences namely age, gender, education level, psychological capital, risk propensity, affective orientation and executives’ use of intuitive decision-making style and (2) to reveal whether there exists moderating role of Covid-19 Anxiety Syndrome on existent relationships. Based on these purposes, an online survey is conducted and data is obtained by snowball sampling from executives in Turkey (N= 327). As a result, findings illustrate that whereas risk propensity and affective orientation are positively associated with intuitive decision-making style; age, gender, education level and psychological capital do not have significant relationships with this style of decision-making. Lastly, Covid-19 Anxiety Syndrome weakens the relationship between psychological capital and intuitive decision-making style.

The Cognitive cost of interpersonal closeness in decision making
Uğurlar, Nesibe Pınar; Sümer, Nebi; Posten, Ann-Christin; Department of Psychology (2018)

Current hypothesis is based on the inclusion of other in the self approach suggesting that the overlap between the mental representations of the self and the other increases by closeness, which, in turn, makes it difficult to differentiate bet...
