The main aim of the study was to explore managers’ decision-making process, focusing particularly on intuition in decision-making from a psychological perspective. A total of 20 managers (8 women) participated in individual in-depth interviews. Analysis of the interviews shows that managers a) did not have a clear preference for one decision-making style, b) defined intuition as knowledge based on feelings, judgement not based on facts, knowledge of unknown origin, and that they c) associate intuition with experience and practice. Decisionmaking was also influenced by contextual factors, such as the environment and its limits (management and information requirements, and financial limits), time, and type of task.

管理者决策的直觉：定性研究

该研究的主要目的是探索管理者的决策过程，特别是从心理学的角度着眼于决策的直觉。共有20位经理（8位女性）参加了个人深入访谈。对访谈的分析表明，经理a）对一种决策风格没有明显的偏爱，b）将直觉定义为基于感觉的知识，不基于事实的判断，不明来源的知识，以及c）关联直觉与经验和实践。决策还受到上下文因素的影响，例如环境及其限制（管理和信息要求以及财务限制），时间和任务类型。
