Industrial and organizational psychology is "the branch of applied psychology concerned with the application of psychologic principles and methods to industrial problems including selection and training of workers, working conditions, etc."[1]

Organizational culture

Organizational culture is "beliefs and values shared by all members of the organization. These shared values, which are subject to change, are reflected in the day to day management of the organization.". [2]

Organizational decision making

Organizational decision making is "the process by which decisions are made in an institution or other organization". [3]

Decision making by voting, compared to consensus building, leads to "highest satisfaction with the group decision-making process, and the lowest amount of expressed negative socio-emotional behaviors"; however, consensus leads to higher "feelings of personal participation".[4]

After voting on organizational procedures, postdecisional voice by the minority group can reduce negative impact on perceptions of fairness and task commitment by employees in the voting minority. [5]

Delphi technique

A Delphi technique may be more effective.[6]

The Delphi technique involves[7]:

  1. Identifying a research problem
  2. Completing a literature search
  3. Developing a questionnaire of statements
  4. Conducting anonymous iterative mail or e-mail questionnaire rounds
  5. Providing individual and/or group feedback between rounds
  6. Summarizing the findings

A modifield De had been developed by the RAND Corporation.[8]

The Delphi Technique can be conducted online.[9][10]
