Decision-Making Processes of Delegates in Commune Assemblies - Results of Preliminary Research

Summary/Abstract: A sample of 10 to 15 decisions which could be expected to have passed through different stages of delegational decision-making was compiled from a list of decisions taken In five commune assemblies during 1976. 2. Individuals were identified who had taken active part in the decision-making process This was done on the basis of minutes and conversations with responsible officials. 3. All respondents were requested to: a. state all the stages of decision-making they had participated in; b. evaluate the influence of individual subjects on the actual decisions taken: 4. The entire evidence (records and conversations) was used in evaluating the share of the various elements of the system with respect to individual decisions The employed research techniques have proved to be valid, since a combination of three sets of data participation of individual subjects in decision-making stages, perception of the Influence set-up, and the investigator's evaluation — produced congruent and consistent indicators of the phenomenon under investigation. The results indicate that the system of delegacy has still not been constituted as an action system. In result, there are few active participants from among the delegates (Table 2. Figure 1), and a decisive role Is performed by the Executive Council, which, on the whole. Initiates, proposes and implements decisions. In matters relating more directly to the interests and needs of the delegates and their constituencies, participation In decision-making is considerably greater.
