Effective decision-making, photography, interdisciplinary perspective, theoretical modelAbstract
Effective decision-making is a fundamental skill for success in personal and professional life. This essay addresses the complexity of this process, analyzing the key factors that contribute to its effectiveness from an interdisciplinary perspective, in order to propose a model of intelligent decision-making. The exploration is based on an exhaustive literature review and the synthesis of empirical findings. The results demonstrate the significant influence of cognitive, emotional, contextual, and social factors. An interdisciplinary theoretical model is proposed that integrates these variables for a holistic understanding. The findings highlight the importance of key factors and context in effective decision-making, offering a valuable theoretical and practical contribution with implications for psychology, administration, and public policy. They also suggest avenues for future research and the improvement of decision-making skills.
