El caso del trabajador preferido – tres directrices para una agenda de investigación decolonial sobre los significados del trabajo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La colonialidad es un proceso epistemológico que considera la modernidad europea como la cúspide de todas las trayectorias civilizatorias del planeta. Creó una diferencia colonial entre el conocimiento y modos de vida de Occidente y los de otras civilizaciones. Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la colonialidad entró en una nueva fase, centrada en Estados Unidos, en la que las organizaciones y las escuelas de negocios se convirtieron en difusoras de conocimiento y modos de vida basados en valores neoliberales. La investigación sobre el significado del trabajo ha contribuido a este esfuerzo construyendo la imagen del trabajador preferido, alineada con los valores neoliberales. Este ensayo propone tres directrices para construir una agenda de investigación decolonial sobre el significado del trabajo: analizar las dinámicas de aceptación y reexistencia frente al arquetipo del trabajador preferido, revelar las voces de los individuos subalternos sobre lo que el trabajo significa para ellos, y ampliar el marco ontológico del significado del trabajo. A través de estas directrices, los investigadores podrán analizar cómo se oprime a los subalternos en el entorno organizativo, así como sus estrategias de aceptación y reexistencia. Además, estas directrices brindan a los investigadores la oportunidad de comprender el significado del trabajo más allá del arquetipo del trabajador preferido. Los resultados de este estudio pueden orientar los esfuerzos por desarrollar entornos laborales descolonizados que liberen a los subalternos de ajustarse al arquetipo del trabajador preferido y contribuyan a los objetivos económicos y sociales de los países del sur global.
