Necesidad, equilibrio y don: sobre el respaldo antropológico de la economía
(Universidad Pontificia Comillas, 2025)
Vargas, Alberto I.
;
En la modernidad se desarrolla una antropología del equilibrio que exagera el afán humano de libertad y provoca una crisis antropológica materializada en el principio del resultado. Con ánimo de superar ese reduccionismo, el presente artículo retoma la narrativa del don —primero social, luego moral— para enriquecerla con una propuesta trascendental. El objetivo es mostrar que, aunque el hombre es un ser necesitante, lo más radical —en cuanto ser trascendentalmente abierto y respaldado donalmente— es su capacidad donal. Este respaldo antropológico puede conducir a una renovación de la economía, capaz de abrir nuevas alternativas. ©Los autores © Universidad Pontificia Comillas ©Pensamiento.

Virtuous work and organizational culture: how Aristotelian practical wisdom can humanize business
(Routledge, 2021)
Pinto, Javier
;
Ferrero, Ignacio
;
This chapter aims to overcome the rationalistic and mechanistic paradigm of organizational theory redefining the nature of organizations as a community of work. We sustain that Aristotelian practical wisdom deepens our understanding of organizations by incorporating different features of personal work in organizational contexts, such as meaning, interpretation, ambiguity, conflict, context-dependence, productivity and reflexivity. In this chapter, we will explain (i) how the organization aimed to excellence is better defined as a community of work, and (ii) how practical wisdom in an organization must be defined in light of work as a deliberative and participative production. Thus, the goal of the chapter is twofold: first, it seeks to introduce a concept of work into the Aristotelian organizational theory; second, it aims to show the potential of Aristotelian practical wisdom for deepening our understanding of organizations by integrating an Aristotelian definition of the community of work and common good into organizational theory.© 2021 Routledge.

CSR and Virtue Ethics: The common good of firms, markets, and civil society
(2021)
This chapter probes the social responsibility of firms using a virtue ethics approach and the concept of the common good. In particular, it highlights the contrasting assumptions of mainstream approaches and the common good of the firm approach to explaining how the latter—rooted in Aristotelian virtue ethics—provides an original conception of social responsibility. A common good approach to social justice understands social relationships essentially as duties to which one voluntarily adheres; when said justice and commitment to the common good flourishes, community ensues. Finally, a virtue ethics approach to corporate social responsibility establishes three forms of duty and social responsibility to stakeholders, including those who make up the firm, those who maintain a market-based relationship with it, and those who are related to the firm as part of society’s civic sphere.

Génesis del pensamiento económico: dos visiones en pugna
(2015)
In the late eighteenth century, following the publication of The Wealth of Nations (Smith, 1776), a paradigm shift emerged in the concept of the economy, characterized by a progressive “naturalization” or “depersonalization”, which is commonly accepted as the genesis of economics. From this perspective, the economy is considered a necessary process that responds to laws that are as objective as physical laws and "discovering them" becomes the economist’s proper task. This article challenges this apodictic view through an approach to the conception of economic activity in the very origins of philosophical thought – specifically in Plato and Aristotle, who both offered original proposals that structure the origin of the economic thought. This article thus aims to show that there is a close relationship between the notion of economy and the underlying anthropological conception. © Cauriensia

Rebuilding the Temple of Graces: Gift-giving as the Foundation of Care
(2018)
;
Moreno Almárcegui, Antonio
;
The concept of "care" has recently emerged to expand the idea of rationality in economics, introducing insights that have traditionally been restricted to the so-called third sector (non-profit), and, as a result, questioning mainstream economics. This article is based on the thesis that the development and functionality of the market and the state are a result of something previous, i.e., the presence of the gift in social relations. The idea of the gift is related with charis, which is at the root of care and is in addition closely related to the religious concepts of grace and charity. In order to show that this notion was present in the Western classical tradition- from Aristotle to Scholastic thought-this article traces the foundation and evolution of money through the lens of social interaction in terms of friendship and fraternity. Finally, it suggests that a social order based exclusively on contractual exchange relations is a consequence of an interpretation of the gift as a pure and generous gesture without the moral obligation of reciprocity. In opposition to that thesis, critics of modern economics, including feminist and Catholic thinkers, come together to defend the superiority of gift over contract, that is to say, of distributive over commutative justice. © 2018 OEconomia.

Ethical Leadership as a Driver of Supervisor Technical and Social Effectiveness: A Triple Helix for Cultivating Employees' Sense of Purpose
(Wiley, 2024)
Al Halbusi, Hussam
;
Ruiz-Palomino, Pablo
;
Linuesa-Langreo, Jorge
;
A sense of purpose is generated when individuals perceive an authentic connection between their work and a broader transcendent life purpose beyond the self. Academics have shown significant positive effects of this driving force in life for employees and organizations, and thus the literature demands studies that analyze its antecedents, i.e., the potential factors that shape an individual's sense of purpose in life. Following an Aristotelian approach to virtue ethics in business, we analyze (1) whether ethical leadership enhances the technical and social effectiveness of supervisors, and (2) whether this moral asset of leaders enhances employee sense of purpose, either directly or by interacting with their technical and social effectiveness-related dimensions. Using data from 395 employees in the Iraqi insurance and health care industry, structural equation modeling analysis revealed that, as expected, the ethical dimension of supervisors can influence employees' sense of purpose, both directly and by improving their technical and social effectiveness as leaders. Our findings thus encourage managers to practice ethical leadership to become more effective in leadership and in encouraging employees to have a sense of purpose in what they do. ©The authors ©Business Ethics, the Environment & Responsibility ©Wiley.

Sobre contratos y usura en Manuel Rodríguez, el Lusitano
(2016)
;
This paper analyzes Manuel Rodríguez's work - Suma de casos de conciencia - in order to garner a greater understanding on the projection of the School of Salamanca's economic thought. The study of this author, who lived during the second half of the sixteenth century and is known as "el Lusitano," gives an insight into this School's evolution, comparing the different ways that moral theologians responded to the challenges of their time. The common elements within the School's evolution help to delineate the spirit that inspired its members over the years, and they offer clues that allow for an interpretation of contemporary economic life from a true anthropology of justice. ©2016 Cauriensia, Universidad de Extremadura

Balancing Work, Family, and Personal Life in the Mexican Context: The Future of Work for the “COVID-19 Generation”
(2021)
;
;
Intergenerational talent management—i.e., attracting and retaining employees across generations and with different motivations—is one of companies’ greatest challenges. The expectations that recent generations bring with them have pushed culture in the direction of work-family balance, which is now seen as a key tool for human resources departments in charge of creating support mechanisms to attract and retain the next generation of workers. This trend has been reinforced by the changes brought about in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Responding to this shift, and inspired by the challenges that our “new normal” posits, this chapter presents research results from a survey conducted in Mexico with respondents from generations Y and Z. The survey results offer important insight into how these generations perceive work-life balance, as well as the expectations that young Mexicans between the ages of 18 and 30 hold in terms of family and work.
