Abstract
This thesis engages with a century-old debate in management sciences: the humanization of management. It adopts a practice-based approach to propose an alternative to the dominant conception of the human being in management. To do so, it establishes a rigorous definition of humanization (an ethics of dignity grounded in reason), criteria for humanization (consideration of real work; recognition; self-management or democratization of organizational governance; overcoming the division of labor; and forms of collective ownership within the organization), and an anthropology based on a Marxian pronominal perspectivism: homo pronominalis. Drawing on two case studies and ethnographic methods, this research examines humanizing practices in organizations at different stages of maturity—during the design of a humanization program and after a decade of implementation. The key findings identify three broad categories of humanization practices: collective autonomy practices, recognition practices, and care practices. However, these only become humanization practices when embedded within an organizational framework that sets the rules of engagement and orients them toward a logic of humanization—one of dignity. These results suggest that humanization cannot be decreed; rather, it emerges from collective dynamics regulated by an explicit humanization framework.
