    Hello, colleagues,

    I am conducting PhD research on intuition and creativity in organizational contexts and would like to ask for suggestions on articles related to embodied cognition. My study challenges the hegemony of positivism and functionalism in organizational studies, which, despite criticism from various paradigmatic perspectives (refs), still influence research on intuition in management, maintaining the mind-body separation.

    The holistic perspective, grounded in phenomenological approaches and embodied cognition, seeks to overcome this dichotomy by recognizing that intuition is not solely a mental process but emerges from the interaction between the body, context, and lived experience. This approach highlights that organizational knowledge cannot be reduced to rational and predictive models, as it involves subjective, sensory, and situated dimensions that dynamically shape decisions and organizational practices (XXXXX). By shifting the focus from strict cognitivism to a broader understanding of intuition, new possibilities arise for analyzing management and decision-making processes in organizations.

    If anyone can share relevant references on embodied cognition, particularly in relation to intuition and creativity, I would greatly appreciate it!

    Thank you in advance for your contributions.

    Best regards,
