Abstractions on humanistic management. An ethical look from otherness

Abstract

The word ethics comes from the Greek ethike, derived from ethos, custom, from the point of view of philosophy its object of study is morality; This, in turn, must be understood as the set of norms or customs (mores) that govern the conduct of a person so that it can be considered good, thus, ethics is the rational reflection on what is understood by good conduct; Now, ethics is the theory or science of the moral behavior of men in society. Likewise, it can be mentioned that ethics is also determined by different perspectives; From the religious point of view, the believing thought of the world and of man linked to traditions is expressed in a norm of an affective nature. Whereas, the philosophical conception of man and the universe linked to culture is expressed in ethical norms of a cognitive nature. In this sense, current organizations must be considered responsible social entities, institutions that generate and transmit new ethical values, capable of being applied not only within themselves, but, above all, in the broader social framework in which they are inserted. . Traditionally, organizations have been like business units created exclusively to obtain benefits, therefore, they do not arise as a consequence of spontaneous generation, they are created with a purpose and purpose and, when established, companies are responsible for establishing their codes, values and select the staff that best suits their nature. This premise has been transforming to generate a humanist management, from otherness, understood as the philosophical principle of "alternating" or changing one's own perspective for that of the "other", considering and taking into account the point of view, the conception of the world, the interests, the ideology of the other; and not assuming that "one's" is the only possible.
