Phronesis Knowledge as Enabler of Intuitive Decision Making

Abstract

Drawing on Nonaka and colleagues' recent concept of phronesis, as a third type of knowledge that is connoted with practical wisdom, the present article proposes that intuitive decision making ability propels with phronesis.Furthermore, it proposes that cognitive adaptability-as the ability to quickly make sense of changing and complex situations -along with personality, as consistent patterns of behaviors based on social learning, are antecedents of phronesis.The article furnishes a conceptual frame based on contemporary literature on intuition, phronesis, cognitive adaptability, situated cognition, metacognition, and social learning theory of personality.
