In three samples of manager‐reported decisions the Vroom–Jago model's predictions were supported. Decisions that more closely fit the recommended decision method were rated as higher in effectiveness. The model was also found to account for more variance in decision effectiveness than the prior Vroom–Yetton model. It was also found that the Vroom–Jago model's greater precision in situational assessment and derived prescriptions allow for greater discrimination in choice of decision method across all situations.
