The Impact

This paper specifies competences and skills of methodologically rational decision making and their impact on security of organisations. The study indicates some reasons for developing the competencies and skills in education, professional development and taking them into account in the recruitment. It is the practical aim of this paper. Its scientific aim is to formulate and to partly justify general hypotheses concerning the impact of methodologically rational and irrational attitudes of members of organisations on their security. We apply the method of ideal types of Max Weber and phenomenological analyses, which concern intentionality of methodologically rational and irrational mental attitudes.

Formal Rules

The study is held to observe the impact of Management including Management levels and decision making on the growth of small firms. Study area is Punjab (Pakistan). Small firms have no proper firm structure; they do not follow the formal rules to run the organization. In spite of this, these firms are growing rapidly. If these firms have effective management levels and rational decision making than the firms will grow rapidly. The results show a significant increase in growth by using rational decision making and having effective management levels. Statistical results show that if we spend 1% on independent variable, then it shows an 80% increase in dependent variable.

Zimbabwe experienced price hyperinflation as internationally defined in the period March 2007 to January 2009. This paper addresses the issue of how this hyperinflation interacted with manufactur- ing sector performance. Interviews with a small anonymous sample of ‘survivor’ manufacturers suggest that rational decisions as responses to the internal/external structural events from 2000 induced a number of actions that tended to economize on the use of Zimbabwean dollars as the highly monetized manufacturing sector was especially exposed to monetary risks, but was also well connected with the international economy and using other currencies. Though damage to the manufacturing sector continued during the hyperinflation period it did not accelerate as might have been expected. Therefore, analytically, rational decision-making by private sector manufacturers prior to the hyperinflation may have helped protect some of them from its effects but also played a role as acause of the hyperinflation.

The Impact

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between servant / authentic leadership, organizational virtuousness, collegial / rational decision-making and organizational effectiveness of the departments at private universities. This study uses 97 faculty members’ data, collected from 78 departments in 17 private universities in Lembaga Layanan Pendidikan Tinggi (LLDikti) III. Structural Equation Modelling - Partial Least Square technique was used to determine statistical significance and path coefficients for the model. The findings indicate that servant leadership significantly affects organizational virtuousness, organizational virtuousness has a significant effect on both collegial / rational decision-making and organizational effectiveness, and organizational virtuousness has a significant effect on organizational effectiveness as well. This research reveals that servant leadership plays a substantial role in developing a virtuous culture, whereas authentic leadership has not contributed to encourage organizational virtuousness in private universities’ departments. Organizational virtuousness practices in departments result in more organizational effectiveness and enable them to exercise collegial / rational decision-making process for the allocation of resources. Moreover, the collegial / rational decision-making approach positively influences the effectiveness of the private universities’ departments. Keywords: Servant Leadership, Authentic Leadership, Organizational Virtuousness, Collegial / Rational Decision-Making, Organizational Effectiveness, Private Universities.

The Impact

We propose the exponential satisficing model of boundedly rational decision-making, a general-purpose tool designed for use in typical microeconomic applications. The model posits that the preferences perceived and acted upon by the agent are a stochastic coarsening of his or her true, welfare-significant preferences. The decision-maker’s perceptual capabilities are controlled by a preference resolution parameter, which smoothly varies the impact of cognitive constraints on choice. To demonstrate the implementation of the model, it is applied to duopolistic price competition with satisficing consumers and to normal-form games with satisficing players. (JEL D01, D80, D90)

This article examines the relation of empathy and rational judgment. When people observe a conflict most are quick to side with one of the parties. Once a side has been taken, empathy with that party further solidifies this choice. Hence, it will be suggested that empathy is not neutral to judgment and rational decision-making. This does not mean, however, that the one who empathizes will necessarily have made the best choice.
