ABSTRACT
Group decision making is becoming a very common activity in human society all over the world. Business problems nowadays are increasingly involving interactivity that requires collective effort and detailed information shared by a group of people working together. This paper is concerned with measuring the impact of group members鈥� gender and familiarity on group decision making performance. An experimental approach is adopted where a sample of students, who study at Yarmouk University in Jordan, performed a specific task using a GSS enabled environment. Results revealed that female-only groups have a better performance than male-only groups and groups with familiar members have a better influence on the quality of decisions made during group work. Conclusions, contributions and future work are reported at the end.
