Qısa məlumat:
Subsistence Economy considers the human being as someone who pursues wealth for his/her own self-interest. This human being, named Homo Economicus, is regarded as a “rational person” with complete knowledge and perfect prediction who always uses rational judgment and seeks to maximize personal utility. These fundamental assumptions relevant to the “Homo Economicus” are assumed to be determinants of the decision-making patterns in the subsistence economy. From this point of view, the study puts forward the idea that the managers always make rational decisions on behalf of the organizations according to the classical management theory. However, thanks to the experimental economics and empirical studies of “behavioral economics”, it’s been recently granted that these assumptions fail to explain the human behaviors and there are empirical findings that affirm the assertion that human is not always a rational being. The empirical studies conducted in the field of behavioral economics have shown that people do not always act rationally while making decisions, they are bounded rational in their decisions, and they resort to their intuitions and availability heuristics in decision-making processes. With reference to the above behavioral economic assumptions, this study aims to analyze the decisionmaking behaviors within the context of rational, intuitive, emotional, and availability heuristics. The study is situated in the interpretive paradigm and designed in accordance with the case study method among the qualitative research designs as of the research method. A qualitative research method is chosen for the study because of its flexibility with respect to gathering in-depth information about the decision-making behavior of the managers. Furthermore, the case method is chosen for the study because this design suits to the in-depth analysis of at least one case. Specifically, embedded multiple case study is chosen because of its appropriateness to the aim, problem, and general purpose of the study. Data is collected by using an interview technique with senior managers of seven business corporations with purposive sampling methods in the study designed as an embedded multiple case study. The interviews with the managers are analyzed in accordance with the content analysis method by performing a database dump of the recorded data. As stated by the findings of the research, it’s seen that the managers, seeking to follow a rational process during the decision-making, deviate from the assumption of the Rational Choice Theory as choosing something that is perfect, and they tend to that of choosing something that is satisfactory in accordance with Simon’s Bounded Rationality. Furthermore, it is determined that while the managers’ tendency of rationalism strengthens in the states of risks, they chose to decide intuitively in indeterminacy situations. Although the managers express not being affected by senses and sensible cases, emotional tendencies in their decision-making behaviors are understood clearly from data analysis. However, it’s seen that the more experienced the manager is, the more tendencies s/he has to behave intuitively in her/his decisions. It’s concluded from the findings obtained in the study that the managers use the cognitive, emotional, and intuitive processes collectively at the decision-making stage.
