Sažetak
Decision-making styles are the ways in which people make decisions. There are many approaches to analyse (dominant) decision-making styles. Some of them are more focused on the number of members involved in the decision process. In contrast, others are more focused on the way of thinking, the tolerance of uncertainty in the decision process, or the amount of information used in the process. In the theoretical part of this paper, we present several approaches to studying decision-making styles. In the practical part, we present the research results on the (dominant)decision-making styles of Croatian students, obtained using the Scott&Bruce instrument and the Rowe instrument. Some students are in the military field (army studies in Zagreb and navy studies in Split), while others are in the field of social sciences (studies of economics in Varaždin and ICT studies in Rijeka). After the data (demographic data and data related to the two instruments) were collected, descriptive statistics, t-tests with one-way ANOVA and χ2 test were used in the analysis. In most cases, the differences in using certain decision-making styles (by both instruments) between groups considering demographic data were not confirmed. However, the analysis showed that the military students are less prone to use avoidant style than the nonmilitary students. Also, the military students more often apply conceptual style than non-military students.
