Organizational Dignity in the Light of Boaventura Souza Santos Thoughts

Ana Lúcia Medeiros ()

Chapter Chapter 3 in Organizational Dignity and Evidence-Based Management, 2021, pp 33-45 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The objective of this work is to study the organizational dignity from the theoretical perspective of Boaventura Sousa Santos. The chapter brings up the debate on this construct from a mixed epistemology that is situated on the frontiers of modern thought. The discussion starts from the idea that organizations are spaces of production that have a power structure, which manifests itself in the form of the exploitation of labor by capital, which is supported by the law of production and by scientific knowledge that guides towards productivism and for the management culture that as a rule produces absences of dignity in organizations. The production space is the locus where social interactions take place with absences and/or presences of dignity and which can be determined by the lack of recognition of the different knowledge and rights of workers.
