Victor Vroom, a professor at Yale University and a scholar on leadership and decision-making, developed the normative model of decision-making. [1] Drawing upon literature from the areas of leadership, group decision-making, and procedural fairness, Vroom’s model predicts the effectiveness of decision-making procedures. [2] Specifically, Vroom’s model takes into account the situation and the importance of the decision to determine which of Vroom’s five decision-making methods will be most effective. [3]
Vroom [1] [3] identified five types of decision-making processes, each varying on degree of participation by the leader.
Vroom [3] [4] identified seven situational factors that leaders should consider when choosing a decision-making process.
Vroom created a number of matrices which allow leaders to take into consideration these seven situational influences in order to choose the most effective decision-making process. [4]
Vroom’s normative model of decision-making has been used in a wide array of organizational settings to help leaders select the best decision-making style and also to describe the behaviours of leaders and group members. [4] Further, Vroom’s model has been applied to research in the areas of gender and leadership style, [5] and cultural influences and leadership style. [6]
