Abstract
The contribution aims to show the importance, for the pedagogy of work, of paying attention to caring for the emotions of the members of work organizations, thanks to psychoanalysis applied to organizations. The expression ‘human resources’ is used in the corporate world and, in general, in organizations. It is considered an expression that reifies, bureaucratizes and objectifies people, reducing them to a workforce at the disposal of economic interests and business, equating the subjects-workers with material resources. However, this expression can also be understood differently. Human resources can be thought of as the resources, the potential of men and women. Relations are full of emotions and affections, fears and anxieties. It is therefore fundamental that top management and educational and organizational consultants address the problem of how to take control of the simmering emotions at play, taking on emotional responsibility. Preparation for this is necessary, which is why a pedagogy of work can offer an important contribution, aided by psychoanalytic theoriesI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
