Abstract
ROJAS ROJAS, William and MARTINEZ PALACIOS, Germán Darío. Transcendence of capital in labor subjectivation: domination and survival. cuad.adm. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.56, pp.115-126. ISSN 0120-4645.
Recognizing the precariousness of the work in the exercise of contemporary organizational management requires a critical examination of the ways in which subordination may be re-expressed, especially that of the worker. Here, it is proposed as a central objective to contribute to the understanding of how and from where certain contexts can draw workers and managers to use rational strategies of survival, making them docilely cooperating individuals to meet goals that in many cases they do not share, but that must be carried out. It is reflected on how in certain emergent scenarios of the maximalist capitalist logic, there can be created efficient mechanisms of “subjugation” that are intermixed in an apparent benevolent and objective game. The transcendence of the capital, expressed in ideals such as the rational exploitation of labor and resources, and the unbridled pursuit of maximum performance in an organization, can disfigure the dignity of the subject who tries to survive/remain in an organization. The training prospects of the manager cannot be alien to these questions; the consolidation of an organizational humanism makes it possible a permanent encounter with the worker’s dignity.
