The conception of human rationality in organizational theory

The following is a discussion about assumed human behavior upon which organizational theory has been built. The analysis allows to conclude that these assumptions not only have hardly evolved from a traditional stance about organizations, but they have rather become more rigid since, in addition to seeingit as a utilitarian and individual attitude of human behavior, which is considered a criminal act, leaves aside qualitiessuch as motivational factors, the creation of values, creativity, a sense of cooperation and solidarity, and the generation of trust among individual persons. These aspects should promote new research, or past research should be reviewed, so that new model proposals can arise with more realistic solutions to organizational conflict.
