Abstract:As a new option to optimize effectiveness and the quality of decision-making process in teams and individuals, we apply the Bernard Lonergan´s rationalistic model, which deals with the cognitive operations involved in the way we acquire knowledge (heuristic method). A group of Engineering professors and two groups of Psychology graduate students participated in a workshop about methodological aspects and phases of human knowledge in the Bernard Lonergan’s heuristic system, also called the Transcendental Method. We compare the quality, effectiveness, and satisfaction of intra-group and intergroup decisions. The Engineering team obtained higher levels of satisfaction with the quality and fulfillment of decisions as the consequence of the best results in the implementation of the method. The results show a new and more complete view of psychosocial dynamics for working teams and how to propitiate its effectiveness and satisfaction.
Keywords: Transcendental method, the operations of human knowledge, self-appropriation, self-consciousness, insight, effectiveness, quality.
