When it comes to organizational behavior, each company takes their own stance on how they will run their business. There are multiple forms of decision-making strategies, but there is one that I do not believe is effective. The bounded rationality model of decision making seems to be the easiest of them all; it requires minimum effort to meet the minimum criteria. However, I've personally watched this process and conclude that it was most ineffective in the situation I observed.
The employee was consistently late, clocked out early at the end of the day and stayed out later than the allotted time for lunch. Work ethic was extremely poor; examples including work returned to be completed properly, low productivity, sloppy penmanship. Additionally, worker possessed a poor attitude, including extreme rudeness, major negativity toward coworkers and supervisors, and general discontentment.
After multiple complaints from coworkers and supervisors alike, the head manager decided to implement the bounded rationality model of decision making. Not wanting to upset the worker whose behavior was extremely poor, the manager decided to take the "satistice" choice, finding an answer that would satisfy and suffice without seeking to find a true solution. Upon further investigation it was discovered that this "satistice" stance is used throughout the company. What has happened in the organization is that, due to this bounded rationality model, quality workers have chosen to work elsewhere because upper management is not willing to deal fairly and impartially with conflict issues.
Of all the organizational behaviors, the bounded rationality model does not produce the desired results of conflict resolution, negotiations and decision making.
