| Abstract: | This study examines the effect of group efficacy on both the process in terms of communication and outcomes relative to decision quality and deviation from initial individual preference of group decision making. When information was not completely shared by group members prior to group discussion, members of low-efficacy groups communicated more and more readily changed their initial decision preferences. Eventually, they could make objectively better decisions. These effects of group efficacy were even more pronounced when individual group members had conflicting information in the beginning about the issues prior to group discussion. |
