Have the Ideas Been Deliberated or Dictated? Group Decision Making in Construction Project Management
Group decision making has been commonplace in construction projects for deliberating ideas among different experts, thereby minimizing their judgmental errors via reasoning with others. Thus, it is important to understand how group members construe a problem and attain consensus on solution. This research investigates the influence of group setting in decision making and thus, how members may fall into the pitfall of group pressure namely groupthink bias. It focuses on procurement committee which is peculiar in large private enterprises or public sector, to understand the groupthink phenomenon, extending to defective decision making in procurement. A research model is developed and tested via structural equation modeling statistical analysis technique. This research found that groupthink may magnify its influence on members of procurement committee though they are operating on stringent procedures. Implication of procurement committee setting is discussed.
