Study lso investigtes the moderting role of emotionl intelligence on the reltionship mong decision mking styles nd orgniztionl performnce. Dt is collected on rndom smpling bsis from 187 bnking sector employees. Findings of the study determine tht employee s different decision mking styles influence orgniztionl performnce differently. Mjor findings include tht rtionl nd dependent decision mking styles hve high positive impct on orgniztionl performnce while voidnt decision mking styles hs negtive impct on orgniztionl performnce. Study further determines tht emotionl intelligence modertes the reltionship mong decision mking styles nd orgniztionl performnce. Key words: Decision mking % Decision mking styles % Orgniztionl performnce % Emotionl intelligence INTRODUCTION Orgniztion s performnce is mesured considerbly bsed on their finncil chievements nd growth. None of ny orgniztion wnts to hve losses nd low future growth. Thus mngers in the orgniztions hve urge to crft performnce in the line of business opertions. This performnce chievement pproch mkes the benchmrk for the top mngement to recognize their mnger s efforts nd intellectul bilities in mking productive business. In order to get sustinble orgniztionl performnce, mngers hve to mke decisions in frming their orgniztion s pth towrds the chievement of orgniztionl gols. Mngers needed substntil informtion to mke sound business decisions thus; mngers must hve substntil informtion before mking decisions. As the decisions bsed on smll informtion re not effective nd this poor business decision mking re reflected in the orgniztionl performnce. However, mnger s decisions ffect the orgniztion dily [1, ]. Astley nd Ven (1983) [3] rgue tht decision mkers hve significnt influence on firm s performnce. Holt nd Jones (00) [4] found tht emotionl intelligence hs n impct on orgniztionl performnce. Consequently, the focus of this pper is to evlute the employee different decision mking styles nd the impct of these decision styles on orgniztionl performnce. Study lso investigtes the moderting role of emotionl intelligence on the reltionship mong decision mking styles nd orgniztionl performnce. Literture Review: There is n emerging body of knowledge devoted to define the individul decision mking styles. The innovtion of individul decision mking styles nd group decision rules hve significnt inferences for orgniztions [5]. Reserchers hve explored wide rnge of individul decision mking styles [5]. Such s, Scott nd Bruce (1995) [6] define decision mking styles s the lerned hbitul response pttern exhibited by n individul when confronted with decision sitution. Bsed on this definition, Scott nd Bruce (1995) [6] ctegorize individul decision mking style in to five mjor ctegories which dels in turns with rtionl, intuitive, dependent, voidnt nd spontneous decision mking styles.

The models further look t the moderting role of emotionl intelligence in predicting this reltionship mong decision mking styles nd emotionl intelligence. Study find out tht employee diverse decision behviors hve different impcts on orgniztionl performnce. Results of the current study re in line with the finding mde by Amson (1996) nd Rehmn (000) tht mngement decisions influence orgniztionl performnce. Present reserch findings conclude tht employee rtionl, dependent nd spontneous decision mking style hve positive impct on orgniztionl performnce where s voidnt decision mking style hve wek negtive impct on orgniztionl performnce. No ssocition is found between intuitive decision mking style nd orgniztionl performnce. The present study is in sequence with the previous literture findings tht rtionl decision mking hve n impct on orgniztionl performnce (Irene, Abdul nd Rsheed, 1997). Mny reserchers rgue tht emotionl intelligence hve n impct of orgniztionl performnce (Druskut, Sl, & Mount, 006; Jordn & Troth 00; Ronld, 003). The current reserch pper further find out tht emotionl intelligence modertes the reltionship mong decision mking styles nd orgniztionl performnce which indictes tht employee hving strong emotionl intelligence mkes strong decisions tht result in high orgniztionl performnce. Findings of the study will be used by the dynmic orgniztions of the present er hving huge workforce to mnge their decision behviors nd for getting desirble orgniztionl performnce. Orgniztions should lso consider the trinings regrding emotionl intelligence to get more equipped nd furnished workforce which contributes towrds greter orgniztionl performnce. REFERENCES 1.
