Abstract

GANGA CONTRERAS, Francisco; BUROTTO, Juan Félix  and  NAVARRETE ANDRADES, Erwin. Approaches and advancement in the field of labor flexibility: a conceptual analysis and preliminary noological. Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.541-558. ISSN 1514-6871.

The cardinal purpose of this work is to establish a preliminary approach to the field of labor flexibility, from a conceptual and noological point of view. This paper aims to examine the issue of labor flexibility. A detailed scrutiny of texts that belong to multidisciplinary fields was carried out. In this study, the complexity theory and, within it, noology, and the concepts of ideology were used in order to find out if there could be an advancement in order to understand labor flexibility in the discourse as a structured system of ideas and even with the possibility of being considered as a rational theory. Mainly, the specific circumspections of the texts fail to consign the necessary rigor to create a system of ideas, but this phenomenon is perceived as a foundation for other views in the economic and sociological systems. Axiomatic elements are found in the analysis of the last text and this finding could show that the flexibility-flexibilization could reach a real status for a rational theory, in any less ideological sense, which could serve as a core or be integrated into a different polynuclear theory, but in both cases, with epistemic certainty.

Keywords : Labor flexibility; Labor flexibilization; Noology; System of ideas.
