The effects of group problem-solving method and problem-situation complexity on attempts at implementing group solutions were investigated in a laboratory-field setting. Group members were supervisory nurses from various organizations, who were randomly assigned to three groups in a balanced research design which included three group decision-making processes and three levels of problem-situation complexity in implementation. The dependent variable was the number of attempts at implementing group-derived solutions in home organizations. The results showed that structure in group decision-making processes led to increased rates of implementation attempts at all levels of problem-situation complexity. There was a significant complexity-by-process interaction effect among the decision-making processes, which supports the conclusion that the type of group decision-making process and the problem-situation complexity should be considered in order to optimize the number of implementation attempts.g
在实验室实地环境中，研究了小组解决问题方法和问题情境复杂性对实施小组解决方案尝试的影响。小组成员是来自不同组织的督导护士，在一项平衡研究设计中，他们被随机分为三组，该设计包括三种小组决策过程以及实施过程中的三个问题情境复杂程度级别。因变量是在所属组织中尝试实施小组得出的解决方案的次数。结果表明，小组决策过程中的结构在所有问题情境复杂程度级别上都导致实施尝试率增加。在决策过程之间存在显著的复杂性与过程的交互效应，这支持了这样的结论，即为了优化实施尝试次数，应考虑小组决策过程的类型和问题情境的复杂性。
