Overview
Abstract Coloniality is an epistemological process that regards European modernity as the pinnacle of all civilizational trajectories on the planet. This process, in turn, creates the colonial difference between the knowledge and life practices of the West and other civilizations. After World War II, coloniality entered a new stage centered in the U.S., where organizations and business schools became disseminators of knowledge and praxis of living based on neoliberal values. Research on meaningful work has contributed to this endeavor by constructing an image of preferred work that aligns with neoliberal values. This essay presents three guidelines for establishing a decolonial research agenda on meaningful work: examining the dynamics of acceptance and re-existence against the preferred worker archetype, revealing the voices of subaltern individuals about what work means to them, and expanding the ontological structure of meaningful work. Through these guidelines, scholars can examine how subalterns are oppressed in the organizational milieu and their strategies of acceptance or re-existence. Furthermore, these guidelines enable scholars to explore opportunities for understanding meaningful work beyond the archetype of the preferred worker. The findings from this study can guide efforts to develop decolonized workplaces that free subalterns from conforming to the preferred worker archetype and contribute to the economic and social goals of countries in the Global South. 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. Resumo A colonialidade é um processo epistemológico que considera a modernidade europeia como o ápice de todas as trajetórias civilizacionais do planeta. Ela criou a diferença colonial entre o conhecimento e os modos de vida do ocidente e aquelas de outras civilizações. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a colonialidade entrou em uma nova fase, centrada nos EUA, na qual as organizações e as escolas de administração tornaram-se disseminadores de conhecimento e modos de vida baseadas em valores neoliberais. A pesquisa sobre sentido do trabalho contribuiu para esse esforço ao construir a imagem do trabalhador preferido, alinhada com os valores neoliberais. Este ensaio propõe três diretrizes para a construção de uma agenda de pesquisa decolonial sobre o sentido do trabalho: analisar as dinâmicas de aceitação e re-existência contra o arquétipo do trabalhador preferido, revelar as vozes dos indivíduos subalternos sobre o que o trabalho significa para eles e ampliar a estrutura ontológica do sentido do trabalho. Através dessas diretrizes, pesquisadores poderão analisar como os subalternos são oprimidos dentro do meio organizacional bem como suas estratégias de aceitação e de re-existência. Ademais, essas diretrizes permitem aos pesquisadores oportunidades para entender o sentido do trabalho para além do arquétipo do trabalhador preferido. Os resultados desse estudo podem guiar esforços para o desenvolvimento de ambiente de trabalho decolonizados que libertem os subalternos de se ajustarem ao arquétipo do trabalhador preferido e contribuir para os objetivos econômicos e sociais dos países do Sul Global.
