About this issue
The present study included 85 managerial personnel from different organizations to examine the relationship of leadership styles, cerebral dominance, type A behaviour with decision making behaviour. In this study leadership styles, cerebral dominance and type A behaviour have been treated as predictor variables whereas decision making behaviour has been used as a criterion variable. For the measurement of leadership styles, Task-People Leadership Style Questionnaire (Ritchie & Thomson, 1988) is used. For the measurement of cerebral dominance, Human Information Processing Survey (Taggart & Torrance, 1984) is used and for the measurement of type A behaviour, Type A Personality Inventory (Friedman & Rosenmann, 1974) is used. Decision making behaviour is measured by Decision Making Questionnaire I & II (Mann, 1982). The statistics employed are correlation, mean, SD and ttest. The results of coefficient of correlation indicate that decision making behaviour (self esteem, vigilance, hyper-vigilance, defensive avoidance, buck passing, rationalization and procrastination) is significantly correlated with task oriented leadership style, people oriented leadership style, right hemisphere, integrated hemisphere and type A behaviour. No significant correlation is obtained between decision making behaviour with left hemisphere. Further, results show that there is significant mean difference in decision making behaviour between high (Q3 group) and low (Q1 group) task oriented leadership style, people oriented leadership style, right hemisphere, integrated hemisphere and type A behaviour groups. But the mean difference of decision making behaviour between high and low left hemisphere groups was not found significant.
