Resource organizational environment as an entrepreneurial efficiency and decision-making factor

Abstract

Introduction. Today's realities require the expansion of known business management strategies based on human capital. Aim: to theoretically and empirically substantiate the effects of the humanistic organizational environment on management decision-making. Methods: HRO (Humane Resource Orientation) questionnaire, GDMS (General Decision-Making Style), the CoSI (Cognitive Style Indicator), and MDMQ (Melbourne decision making questionnaire). Results. HumEnt's concept of humane entrepreneurship, which includes human resource orientation, was described. A resource-based organizational environment includes: empathy (emotional, behavioral, informational support), fair distribution of rewards, promotion of employees' personal and professional development, delegation of authority, and support of ethical values. Negative correlations between the indicators of the environment resourcefulness and unproductive decision-making styles (avoidance, procrastination, shifting responsibility to other people, hypervigilance) were revealed. The characteristics of organizational environment resourcefulness negatively correlated with respondents' stress and anxiety, and positively correlated with group efficiency, respondents' beliefs in their own professional efficiency and the efficiency of the work unit they head, as well as with the expectations of high work results. The characteristics of organizational culture that contribute to productive decision-making were specified. Conclusions. In companies with a pronounced orientation to humane entrepreneurship, employees are less prone to defensive reactions in the decision-making, which contributes to professional productivity.
