La significación en la cultura: Concepto base para el aprendizaje organizacional.

Abstract

Based on three key psychological concepts: learning, culture and meaning, the present essay proposes a conceptual base frame, oriented toward the understanding of development in organizations into current milieu of competitiveness and temporality, of the relationships among people working into them. The organizations which are typically embedded in a context of values, needs and symbols that made up their cultures, must evolve in order to face the demands for new developments and change, to which they are forced to. The concept of "meaning of the culture", is presented as the base over which is build and rooted the organizational learning-in a technical and social sense. The different types of learning are the ways in which the organizations satisfy the requirements coming from their environments, in front of which must generate knowledge and consequently, new products and services, based on the people that form such organizations. The people that belong and constitutes the organization, in circumstances of temporal cohesion and within temporary working networks, must achieve results and to be adjusted to these new working and organizational facts, developing self-management and autonomy, in order to signify and get adapted into the cultural tissue. RESUMEN El artículo propone, apoyado en tres conceptos psicológicos claves: el aprendizaje, la cultura y la significación, proveer de una base conceptual necesaria para comprender el desarrollo de las organizaciones en los contextos de competitividad
