Useful query... Following!!!

I think many parameters and good managers perform adequate optimization to make the right decision.

A lot of things could influence a manager's decisions. These include prevailing organizational challenges, successes and prospects.

Making the right decision always gives positive results on individual levels and the whole institution. This results in improving the quality of work and increasing the quantity of production. One the other hand making negative decisions leads to negative consequences in terms of quality and quantity.

Unprofessionalism, biased mind and corruption.

The most important things that affect the decisions of the manager is: focus on the error and ignore the advantages of the team that works with him, the absence of standards of reward and accountability, to work with the team as a companion and not a leader, and try to create a picture of perfection (boasting of success) for an unrealistic goal.

Responsible analysis of a problem, searching for answers through information and dialogue, selecting valid solutions can lead to making the right decisions. One of the qualities of a good manager can not lack intuition, courage, empathy, common sense, altruism.

major factors that can influence decision making include: leadership style influence, change, technology, politics, communication.

I entirely agree with opinion of Prof. Dr. Han Ping Fung and Dr. Adriana Denisa Manea !

One of the major influencing factor I believe would be the the organisational behaviour.

Many variables influence the Manager decision like financial, psycological, quality management..............

Considering the pros and cons of making a decision is vital before making that decision for a manager. A good manager would seek the input of some of his/her team members (maybe the more senior ones) instead of deciding something unilaterally. Just seeking the input does not mean that the decision will be amde based on an employee's suggestion. The manager would have to weigh the options based on inputs, evaluate risks and make as rational a decision as possible given the resources and data.
