Abstract(s)
A noção de “responsabilidade”, pensada a partir da sua conceção moral e marcada por um vasto legado filosófico - desde as reflexões clássicas de Aristóteles e de Kant até conceptualizações mais contemporâneas que rompem com paradigmas clássicos, como as de Hans Jonas -, afirma-se na atualidade como um conceito concreto a partir do exercício de uma ética aplicada às práticas das atividades empresariais.
A responsabilidade em contexto empresarial adquire várias dimensões, sendo que a assunção da responsabilidade social por parte das empresas se revelou como uma das mais notáveis mudanças na modelo empresarial do século XX.
A nossa dissertação centra-se numa reflexão ética sobre a relação entre a economia e a ética na perspetiva de entender como é que a responsabilidade passa a ter importância no contexto das atividades empresariais da atualidade. A volatilidade da relação entre a economia e a ética em termos históricos atesta bem ser fundamental atender às expetativas das sociedades. É determinante tomar decisões sobre qual a melhor forma de se agir para alcançar o propósito das atividades económicas: a satisfação das necessidades humanas.
Interroga-se de que forma é que a responsabilidade se torna uma necessidade decorrente do exercício ético aplicado à economia, e de que forma é que também a sociedade influencia este mesmo reconhecimento ético. O exercício das várias dimensões da responsabilidade nas empresas e a forma como estas dão resposta às expetativas dos trabalhadores, da sociedade validam as atividades empresariais perante a sociedade e remete-nos para a questão sobre se há partilha ou não da responsabilidade enquanto dever nas e das empresas.
ABSTRACT: The notion of “responsibility”, conceived from its moral conception and marked by a vast philosophical legacy - from the classic reflections of Aristotle and Kant to more contemporary conceptualizations that break with classical paradigms, such as those of Hans Jonas - today as a concrete concept based on the exercise of ethics applied to the practices of business activities. Responsibility in a business context takes on several dimensions, and the assumption of social responsibility by companies was revealed as one of the most notable changes in the business model of the 20th century. Our dissertation focuses on an ethical reflection on the relationship between economics and ethics from the perspective of understanding how responsibility becomes important in the context of today's business activities. The volatility of the relationship between economics and ethics in historical terms attests that meeting the expectations of societies is essential. It is crucial to make decisions about the best way to act to achieve the purpose of economic activities: the satisfaction of human needs. It wonders how responsibility becomes a necessity resulting from the ethical exercise applied to the economy, and how society also influences this same ethical recognition. The exercise of the various dimensions of responsibility in companies and the way in which they respond to the expectations of workers, of society validates business activities before society and brings us to the question of whether or not responsibility is shared as a duty in and of corporations.
