Keywords:
Affective Decision Making, Cognitive Decision Making, , Inventory, Indian Work SettingAbstract
Objective/Aim: The purpose of this study was to construct a decision making inventory to assess the level of decisional ability at work and to validate its psychometric properties respectively. The inventory was designed to measure two core indices i.e. Cognitive, which foresee the logical aspects of decision making and Affective, which foresee the emotional aspects of decision making at workplace. Method: Purposive sampling was used to gather data. For standardization of the items the scale was distributed amongst eminent scholars and OB practitioners. 504 working professionals completed the ACDMI. Result: Face validity, Content Validity and Construct Validity were found to be significant. ACDMI had good internal consistency. Conclusion: ACDMI is a 5 - point likert scale which consists of 28 items, 15 items in cognitive index and 13 items in affective index with positive and reversed scoring.
