A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: MANAGERIAL DECISION MAKING STYLES AND ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AMONG DEANS OF MALAYSIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES
ABSTRACT: Scholars in the area
of management agree that decision making is both central and fundamental to any
organization. This is because the quality of decisions made would influence the
effectiveness of the managers and consequently, affect the success of the whole
organization. Indeed, this also happens in the educational management setting.Drawing
from an ongoing doctoral research which looked at the relationship between managerial
decision making styles and organizational effectiveness among deans of Malaysian
public universities, this article discusses the formulation of a conceptual framework.
The framework put forward in this paper is based on both literature and a study
investigating the relationship between managerial decision making styles and organizational
effectiveness among deans of Malaysian public universities. Second, the paper
also attempts to discuss the possible research issues that could justify the development
of the conceptual framework of the topic. Literature reveals that there are potential
links pointing to the relationships between the variables. However, as to date there
is little empirical scholarly research conducted in the educational management
and leadership setting concerning the variables discussed in this study.
