The Role of Intuition in Problem Solving in the Department of Defence of the Czech Republic

Original language description

The aim of this paper is to introduce partial conclusions of the research “Solving Unstructured Decision-Making Problems in the Department of Defence of the Czech Republic.” This article deals with a question of a use of intuition while solving problems. One of the partial results of the formalized questionnaire survey was the identification of the degree to which intuition is used at different levels of management in the Department of Defence, and consequent division of the respondents into groups according to the degree of the intuition use in decision making. Another result, which is to be presented in the article, is the characteristics of those groups of the Department of Defence employees who use intuition with problem solving to different extents, and identification of common and different features of those groups. The results found by the research are related to problems solved in the Department of Defence, when the respondents gave their opinions on the use of intuition, and the reason for its use based on the agreement or disagreement with the statements formulated by us. The data were evaluated by means of the methods of descriptive statistical analysis. Cluster analysis was employed in order to divide the respondents into the groups according to the degree of the use of intuition. Based on the executed data analysis it can be concluded that there are certain differences among the Department of Defence employees who use intuition to different extents while solving problems in the Department of Defence. The resulting findings can be utilized mainly in the management of the Department of Defence, where the executed research shows to what extent problems are solved by means of intuition in one of the organs of the central state administration, and to what extent this is done on a rational basis, that means based on documentable and standardized methods.
