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.
