The tension economic rationality and social responsibility in productive organizations: an approach.

Abstract

This article seeks to make a brief approach to the nature of rationality and responsibility, taking in account their relationship as generating tensions in the area of productive organizations and their primarily economic orientation. Is taken into account for this purpose, the organization as a stage of conflict in the presence of various interests of the players who participate in it. Thus, the sociological and political view of the organization will place it as a political system and a system of political activity, field in which the employer's decision is highly influenced by this confluence of interests. The intention is to characterize, in the context of modern capitalism described by Weber, where there is a clear contradiction between economic rationality and satisfaction of needs.
