Abstract: Policy capturing is a method employed by researchers to assess how decision makers use available information to make judgment, which has been employed extensively in individual and organizational decision-making and judgment tasks. However, there are limited understanding of what is policy capturing and how to implement it in the domestic research. This paper introduces policy capturing and the five steps in a policy-capturing study, at the same time, we also contribute to some new insights to policy capturing from a paradox perspective, and explore new practices in policy capturing, to reveal why and how organizations release potential.
