The outcomes of mechanistic decisions are __________.

  • A.known
  • B.unknown
  • C.hidden
  • D.irrelevant

Answer: A

The outcomes of mechanistic decisions are known.

Mechanistic decisions are routine, repetitive decisions made by following a fixed rule, procedure or chart, such as a clerk applying a policy table. Because the situation and the rules are well defined, the result of each alternative is known in advance; there is little uncertainty.

Decisions with unknown or uncertain outcomes are the non-programmed, analytical or judgement-based decisions. 'Hidden' and 'irrelevant' do not describe the outcome of a rule-following decision.
