3. Introduction
Victor Vroom and Phillip’s leader participation model relates leadership behavior
and participation in decision making. The Vroom-Yetton contingency model is a
participation leadership model of industrial and organizational psychology
developed by Victor Vroom, in collaboration with Phillip Yetton (1973).
Involvement in decision-making improves the understanding of the issues
involved by those who must carry out the decisions.
People are more committed to actions where they have involved in the relevant
decision-making.
People are less competitive and more collaborative when they are working on
joint goals.
When people make decision together, the social commitment to one another is
greater and thus increases their commitment to the decision.
Several people deciding together make better decision than one person alone.
