Summary/Abstract: The present paper proposes a specific view regarding the process of making decisions in the managerial context. Specifically, we intend to identify the impact of several correlates and specific factors upon different styles of decision making (namely ”Thoroughness”, ”Control”, ”Hesitancy”, ”Social resistance”, ”Optimising”, ”Principled” and ”Instinctiveness”, as identified by applying ”The Decision Making Styles Questionnaire”). Our main hypotheses state that there should be a difference between managers and general (employed) population regarding dominant decision making styles and that several variables (such as sex, years of professional experience, sel-efficacy, level of perceived stress, the completeness of information regarding the situation which requires a decision and it’s difficulty) play specific roles as factors in decision making. We propose that our results should be useful in recruitment processes, talent management and in the development of professional coaching programs which focus on decision-making
