A reflective view from a humanistic management perspective

Abstract

The purpose is to reflect on the humanistic approach, which has been gaining more relevance in the managerial context. At present, the new managerial trends influence as changing elements of the environment which represents epistemological supports to combine the capabilities of managers and organizations to assemble as corporate fabrics to management, which allows to face the challenges of the managerial environment. Echeverría (2003), who proposes the understanding of the world and human beings through language, is taken as a theoretical thread. In this way, the historical conception of humanism is reviewed from the scientific-mechanistic paradigm and human relations, focusing on how man is visualized from the conception of these administrative approaches, revealing that man has always been present in them, until humanistic management is approached.
