Personal trust, embodied cognition and their implications in decision making for cooperation in the organizational environment

Abstract

The development of economic sciences, and particularly those of management, are increasingly linked to the complexity of social processes and their dynamics, as well as the understanding of human beings in interaction with their environment. In these, the classic paradigm of homo economicus has been taken as the predominant starting point, rallying the subject around his own interests, self-sufficiency and competitiveness. In contrast, it is proposed, through analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive methods, with a multidisciplinary approach, to explore the interconnected dynamics between personal trust, embodied cognition and their implications in decision-making for cooperation in the organizational environment. Thus, it was possible to redefine and recover the body as an object of experience and the senses as a space created and affected in modern organizational environments.
