Title: EFFECTIVE DECISION-MAKING: THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE COMPLEXITY IN STRATEGIC DECISIONS
Author: Oana Cătălina IEDERAN, Petru Lucian CURŞEU, Patrick VERMEULEN

Abstract: The present study tests the mediating role of cognitive complexity in the relationship between a set of motivational attributes (self-efficacy SE, need for cognition NFC and tolerance for ambiguity TFA) and decision-making effectiveness. The model is tested using structural equation modeling in a sample of 59 Romanian entrepreneurs and the results support a partial mediation model. On the one hand, cognitive complexity partially mediates the relationship between self-efficacy and decision-making performance and on the other hand, cognitive complexity fully mediates the relationship between need for cognition and decision performance. The mediation hypothesis concerning tolerance for ambiguity is not supported.

Keywords: cognitive complexity, need for cognition, self-efficacy, strategic decision-making, tolerance for ambiguity
