Resumo: | Despite the decolonial and Afro-diasporic criticisms of the field of Management and Organization Studies, the teaching of Business Schools, in general, still presents Administrative Theories in an uncritical and ahistorical way, disregarding the remnants of black slavery and its logic in administrative practices. In this sense, the present work has the general objective of developing the hypothesis that Scientific Theory was ideologically conceived on a racist basis of work organization. In methodological terms, documentary research was carried out on the works of Frederick Winslow Taylor, opposing them to the historical context marked by eugenic elements that cross his worldview, apparently silenced in his works. Therefore, we concluded that the Taylorist theory, justified in the semantics of innate limitations to human nature, will intensify the forms of exploitation of workers, especially on blacks, reflecting, as a supposition, the reproduction of racism in the scope of organizational management. |

En este sentido, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo general desarrollar la hipótesis de que la Teoría Científica fue concebida ideológicamente sobre una base racista de organización del trabajo. En términos metodológicos, se realizará una investigación documental en las obras de Frederick Winslow Taylor, contraponiéndolas al contexto histórico marcado por elementos eugenésicos que atraviesan su cosmovisión, aparentemente silenciados en sus obras. Por tanto, concluiremos que la teoría taylorista, justificada en la semántica de las limitaciones innatas a la naturaleza humana, intensificará las formas de explotación de los trabajadores, especialmente de nuestros negros, reflejando, como supuesto, la reproducción del racismo en el ámbito de la gestión de organizaciones.Apesar das críticas decoloniais e afrodiaspóricas no campo dos estudos em gestão e organizações, o ensino nas escolas de administração, de modo geral, ainda apresenta as teorias administrativas de forma acrítica e a-histórica, desconsiderando os resquícios da escravidão negra e da sua lógica nas práticas administrativas. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo geral desenvolver a hipótese de que, ideologicamente, a teoria científica foi concebida em uma base racista de organização do trabalho. Em termos metodológicos, foram realizadas pesquisas documentais nas obras de Frederick Winslow Taylor, contrapondo-as ao contexto histórico marcado por elementos eugênicos que atravessavam a sua visão de mundo, aparentemente silenciados em suas obras. Por conseguinte, concluímos que a teoria taylorista, justificada na semântica de limitações inatas à natureza humana, vai intensificar as formas de exploração dos trabalhadores, sobretudo os negros, refletindo, como suposição, a reprodução do racismo no âmbito da gestão das organizações.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2023-06-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8873210.1590/1679-395120220065Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 No. 3 (2023) - Debating Black slavery in management and organizational studies from decolonial and afro-diasporic perspectives; e2022-0065Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 Núm. 3 (2023) - Debatiendo la esclavitud negra en los estudios organizacionales y de gestión desde perspectivas decoloniales y afrodiaspóricas; e2022-0065Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 21 n. 3 (2023) - Debatendo a escravidão negra nos estudos em gestão e organização a partir de perspectivas decoloniais e afrodiaspóricas; e2022-00651679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/88732/83407https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/88732/83871https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSabino, Geruza de Fátima ToméPinheiro, Daniel Calbino2023-06-03T01:11:59Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/88732Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:32.221594Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
