Collectivism and Strong Social Ties: what Impact on the Organizational Decision-making Process in Morocco?

Aissam El Idrissi, Prof. Dr. Malika Akioud

ABSTRACT:

This study aims to explore the influence of collectivism and informal social ties on organizational decision-making in Morocco. We seek to understand how these cultural components shape decision processing within multinationals. The research employs a quantitative approach to analyze decision-making dynamics within multinationals implanted in Morocco. The study reveals that collectivist values strengthen team cohesion and sometimes slow down decision-making, internal social networks promote a good working climate while strong relationships reduce conflict but can hinder innovation. Finaly, the study confirms that the social dimension of decisions improves their acceptability by employees.
