IMPROVING COMMITMENT TO AGREEMENTS: THE ROLE OF GROUP DECISION-MAKING METHODS IN THE PERCEPTION OF SENSE OF JUSTICE AND SATISFACTION AS COMMITMENT PREDICTORS

摘要

The objective of this study was to evaluate the chances of commitment in group decision making process, modeled by a multicriteria method based on game theory and its evaluation in relation to the satisfaction and sense of justice of the players. We hypothesized that mathematical methods may favor group decision-making, reflecting higher levels of sense of justice and satisfaction and consequently greater chances of commitment to the agreements made. By means of 75 simulations, with five volunteers each, the hypotheses of this study were confirmed, which include the affirmation that the commitment in group decision making can be increased by the use of a method to support group decision making and, consequently, that the sense of justice and satisfaction will be greater when agreements are supported by some sort of mathematical method.
