An exploratory field experiment sought to study the effects of three levels of task complexity on the decision-making patterns of seven long term, on-going task groups. Decision-making was identified as consisting of five behaviors; namely, organization, information exchange, alternative generation, evaluation, and non-task behaviors. The results confirmed the predictions for alternative generation and non-task behaviors: alternative generation occurred most frequently with moderate task complexity; non-task behaviors occurred the least frequently at the level of moderate complexity. The organization behavior increased with increasing task complexity, while information exchange and evaluation showed no differences in frequency of occurrence across the three levels of complexity
