| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the different Decision-making styles adopted by military management officers at all ranks. When writing this paper, document research and questionnaire are the primary methods used to gather information and conduct analysis.
The primary way used to conduct documents research is to collect information from domestic and foreign sources related to the subject of study and compile them with previous research methods and results so as to produce questions for the questionnaire. Furthermore, I use questionnaire to get necessary quantification information from the object of study. The scope of my study covers the military commanders and managers at all levels.
The true meaning of Decision-making means the one who making a decision from various alternatives after analysis. The personnel’s special behavior model expressed when making decisions is called Decision-making style. In 1992, Dr. Rowe and Dr. Boulgarides believed that the Decision-making style was built on the outlook on value and the diversity of recognition. The Decision-making style can clearly clarify people’s thinking models under different outlook on value and diversity of recognition on person, matter and article. As a result, the style has much influence on decision making by Decisionmakers. Also, Decision-making style can clarify the methods used by the Decisionmaker to collect and process information as well as reflect the Decisionmaker’s personal character/ interpersonal relations and his abilities of situation awareness and problem solving. These abilities are the major factors to decide whether the Decisionmaker can make the best choice. Consequently, we can treat the Decision-making style as the major control elements of decision-making.
The outlook of value and the diversity of recognition are the two events that build up one’s decision style. Here, the definition of the diversity of recognition is how you deal with and describe the persons, events, and matters around you. The two elements help us to develop four decision-style models just like the four models developed by Dr. Rowe and Dr. Boulganides in 1992, they are Analytic , Conceptual, Directive , and Behavioral.
Adopting the sample investigation, this paper manages to analyze the R.O.C. Army management-level officers at all ranks by mailing the designed questionnaires. The investigation samples are provided to the R.O.C. senior officers ranging from the directors of the high-level units, the commanders of the brigade, division, and above units, and down to the commanders of the battalion and company units. Limited by the manpower, time, and fund, it only used the sample investigation method throughout the survey period. The adopted information analysis methods are included the description statistics, the variant analysis, the independent sample’s T certification and the credibility analysis to the questionnaires. | en_US |
