The Paradox of Competence and Information Overload: Optimizing Decision-Making and Performance in Shrimp Aquaculture
Main Article Content
Abstract
Shrimp aquaculture industry is a sector characterized by high volatility and extreme biological risks. This research analyzes how supervisor leadership, team competence, and information quality function as determinants in the decision-making process and their implications for organizational performance. This study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design conducted in shrimp cultivation operational units at PT Central Proteina Prima (West Area). Data collected through perception-based questionnaires aggregated at the work unit level and analyzed using PLS-SEM. Population consisted of 450 cultivation operators and 75 supervisors, with a sample of 300 employees. Path analysis results while supervisor leadership exhibits a strong positive effect on organizational performance (β = 1.066, p < 0.001), team competence paradoxically exerts a significant negative effect on performance (β = -0.217, p = 0.006) and decision-making quality. Furthermore, formal decision-making quality failed to mediate the relationships, and high information quality was found to significantly weaken the influence of leadership on decision quality (β = -0.288, p < 0.001). These findings confirm the importance of adaptive crisis leadership in optimizing organizational performance in environments characterized by biological risk.
