Abstract

This research investigates the interaction between the phenomenon of groupthink, leadership, and the level of cohesiveness in the context of group decision making. Groupthink, as a potential risk in groups, can affect the quality of decisions by inhibiting openness to alternative thinking. Meanwhile, effective leadership and a healthy level of cohesiveness are considered to improve the quality of decisions. This research analyzes the impact of these variables in various contexts, such as organizations, work teams, or study groups. Through a literature review and empirical analysis, researchers identify practices that can support managing groupthink, promote effective leadership, and build positive cohesiveness. Awareness of the dynamics of interactions between these variables allows designing better strategies to improve the quality of group decision making. This research highlights the importance of contextual and strategic approaches in understanding the impact of groupthink, leadership, and cohesiveness on decision quality. The results provide insights for practitioners, organizational leaders, and researchers to understand how to optimally utilize the interaction of these variables to support effective and quality decision making in various group contexts.
