How people make decisions is tested through the behavioral dimension preference for intuition/preference for deliberation based on data from 1,233 employees in China, Taiwan, the Philippines, and the USA. This study reveals significant variation in individuals' intuitive and affective decision-making in the public sector across different countries. Individuals' deliberative decision-making is impacted by long-term orientation and uncertainty avoidance. The study finds that Eastern countries (China, the Philippines, and Taiwan) have higher scores for intuitive/affective decision making than the Western countries (the USA).en-USthe USATaiwanthe PhilippinesIntuitiondeliberationdecision stylecross-cultural analysisChinaArticle481001159719100001
