International Journal of Public Leadership : An analysis of groupthink and decision making in a collectivism culture: the case of a public organization in Tanzania

Purpose – Groupthink happens in-group decision-making processes whereby members of a group
prematurely arrive at a decision that may indicate consensus but for the aim of protecting group harmony. This
limits the contributions of the individuals’ talents, ideas, competences and experiences to more effective
decisions. Although there are a number of studies on predictors (forecasters) of groupthink, they do not
consider the influence of the African cultural aspects of collectivism, high power distance and tolerance on
groupthink that may characterise the decision-making context in African settings. It is in that context that this
case study analyses groupthink in a public sector organization in Tanzania.
