| Abstract: | One of the prescriptions of the Vroom-Yetton leadership model is the conflict rule. This rule prescribes group decision-making methods when conflict among subordinates is anticipated and acceptance of the decision is critical, on the grounds that a group process provides a more effective vehicle for conflict resolution than other less participative methods. The conflict rule is tested against an alternative hypothesis that predicts conflict intensification and polarization in group settings. Both attitudinal and behavioral measures of decision acceptance revealed that the interactive group process was significantly more effective than one-to-one consultation in generating support for a leader's solution. |
