Siebert, Johannes U.; Kunz, Reinhard. \u201cDeveloping and Validating the Multidimensional Proactive Decision-Making Scale\u201d. Special Issue \u201eBehavioral Operations Research\u201c in European Journal of Operational Research, <\/em>249(3) 2016, 864-877.dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ejor.2015.06.066<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the basis of an extensive interdisciplinary literature review proactive decision-making (PDM) is conceptualised as a multidimensional concept. We conduct five studies with over 4,000 participants from various countries for developing and validating a theoretically consistent and psychometrically sound scale of PDM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PDM concept is developed and appropriate items are derived from literature. Six dimensions are conceptualised: the four proactive cognitive skills \u2018systematic identification of objectives\u2019, \u2018systematic search for information\u2019, \u2018systematic identification of alternatives\u2019, and \u2018using a \u2018decision radar\u2019\u2019, and the two proactive personality traits \u2018showing initiative\u2019 and \u2018striving for improvement\u2019. Using principal component factor analysis and subsequent item analysis as well as confirmatory factor analysis, six conceptually distinct dimensional factors are identified and tested acceptably reliable and valid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our results are remarkably similar for individuals who are decision-makers, decision analysts, both or none of both with different levels of experience. There is strong evidence that individuals with high scores in a PDM factor, e.g. proactive cognitive skills or personality traits, show a significantly higher decision satisfaction. Thus, the PDM scale can be used in future research to analyse other concepts. Furthermore, the scale can be applied, e.g. by staff teams to work on OR problems effectively or to inform a decision analyst about the decision behaviour in an organisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
