Group decisions involving responses of a quantitative nature occur frequently in organizations. Although extensive research has considered group decisions involving discrete responses, only recently have responses involving quantities received comparable attention. It is proposed that the group decision processes related to quantities involve compromise and are characteristically different from the consensus processes that occur for discrete choices. The theory of social decision schemes (Davis, 1973) as originally formulated is intractable for quantitative responses because they involve a large number of response alternatives. This paper extends and adapts the theory of social decision schemes to apply it to group decisions of a quantitative nature. The decision schemes considered in modeling group decisions for quantitative responses also differ from those of discrete responses. The classes of decision schemes considered include central tendency, consensus-based, faction-attraction, coalition, distance-influence, dictator, special cases, and other. Unique approaches for evaluating the adequacy of these decision schemes for quantities are considered. An illustration of the theory of social decision schemes for quantities is presented with data from research on group goal decisions (Hinsz, 1991). Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
组织中经常会出现涉及定量反应的群体决策。尽管大量研究关注的是涉及离散反应的群体决策,但直到最近,涉及数量的反应才受到同等程度的关注。有人提出,与数量相关的群体决策过程涉及妥协,并且与离散选择中出现的共识过程有本质区别。最初提出的社会决策方案理论(戴维斯,1973)对于定量反应来说难以处理,因为它们涉及大量的反应选项。本文扩展并调整了社会决策方案理论,将其应用于定量性质的群体决策。在为定量反应建立群体决策模型时所考虑的决策方案也与离散反应的决策方案不同。所考虑的决策方案类别包括集中趋势、基于共识、派别吸引、联盟、距离影响、独裁者、特殊情况以及其他。还考虑了评估这些定量决策方案充分性的独特方法。通过群体目标决策研究(欣茨,1991)的数据,展示了定量社会决策方案理论。版权所有1999年学术出版社。
