As dimensões da racionalidade e os estudos organizacionais: a mediação entre a modernidade e a pós-modernidade

Abstract

O presente artigo, de natureza teórica, reflete sobre o dilema dos estudos organizacionais diante do primado iluminista, ainda predominante, mesmo diante das críticas pós-modernistas. Aponta-se e propõe a inclusão de uma terceira matriz, que junto a duas outras matrizes - racionalidade e empirismo - pode possibilitar a superação da crise presente nos estudos e pesquisas organizacionais e o compartilhamento de elementos, permitindo um discurso próximo a algum entendimento. O artigo é desenvolvido através da caracterização das duas matrizes iniciais, sendo apresentado em seguida traços da pós-modernidade, para então considerar a partir de um quadro descritivo e teórico, a terceira matriz, articulando-a com as duas anteriores. Demonstra-se, em seguida, como se dá a presença dessa terceira matriz nos estudos organizacionais, nacional e internacional, considerando, ao final, elementos de argumentação que permitam considerar a proposição efetuada.

Value addition in horticulture in the liquid modernity

“…Unlike solids, which have clear spatial dimensions, liquids constantly change shape when subjected to any stress. This is because the changes that occur are highly rapid, as Leal (2002) points out, by stating that this time is marked by confusion of concepts, and that relativism is a striking feature, as well as the loss or abandonment of theoretical references there is little possibility of deepening reflection on the problems and by implication, generate consequences and responsibilities equally fast. In the same way, these actions, attitudes, and behavior are replaced by others with the same or faster frequency.…”

The Learning of Cooking in the Light of the Social Practices and the Organizational Aesthetics

“…In the context of organization studies, the influence of aesthetics comes from the studies of the philosophers Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, between 1735 and 1750, and Giambattista Vico in 1725 (STRATI, 2000). It was later developed by the seminal works of Antonio Strati and Pasquale Gagliardi in the 1990s (LEAL, 2002). In Brazil, aesthetics were introduced by the works of Thomaz Wood Jr. and Paula Csillag (2001) as well as Raimundo Leal (2002Leal ( , 2007.…”

Since then, it has been used to study different themes and organizational contexts such as creativity (LEAL, 2007), marketing (BRANDÃO, 2008), ANTONELLO, 2016).…”

“…Thus, when experiencing the daily work, the subject does not only use the cognitive, but the aesthetic dimension as well. This indicates that one can be suspicious that organizational decisions are taken in a purely rational, legal, ethical and cognitive way Practitioners are the result of the appropriation of their body makes through the use of the senses and aesthetic judgment, which is educated by the social context (STRATI, 1992(STRATI, , 2007a(STRATI, , 2014LEAL, 2002 Strati's organizational aesthetics (1992, 2000, 2007a, 2007b, 2010, 2014) is expressed by the perception of the five senses: hearing, sight, touch, smell, taste, and the ability we have to make the aesthetic judgment about what we experience. This judgment is expressed through what we do when we come into contact with the world through the body, that is, when we perceive things through our body, we can judge whether what we feel is "good", "bad", "appropriate", or whether what is perceived is "ugly" or "beautiful"; and it may involve us or leave us indifferent.…”

Characterization of Publications that Discuss the Bauman’s Theory of Liquidity and its Relationship with Management Aspects

“…Contrary to what is solid, which has clear spatial dimensions, liquids undergo constant shape change when they are subjected to any tension. This is because the changes that occur nowadays are highly rapid, as pointed out (Leal, 2002) when stating that this era is marked by the confusion of concepts, and that relativism is a striking feature, thus, with the loss or abandonment of theoretical references there is little possibility of deepening the reflection on the problems and by implication, generate equally rapid consequences and responsibilities.
