Judgment Analysis of School Superintendent Decision Making.
AbstractJudgment analysis (JAN) was used to determine whether school superintendents used all the information at their disposal to make decisions about the management of school programs in various simulated environments. Seventy-five numerical profiles, each of which represented a unique environmental condition, were judged by two groups of superintendents. In each of the groups, there was only one combined policy. The results suggest that the subjects relied on only part of the available information when making their judgments and were little influenced by the addition of information that created great changes in the organizational environment.
