La introducción de la psicología y la economía del comportamiento en la ciencia económica por parte del economista Richard Thaler fue reconocida con el premio nobel en 2017. Este artículo retoma parte de esas contribuciones para explorar y replantear lo que, desde hace más de un siglo, se estableció en la teoría de la oferta del trabajo desde la perspectiva microeconómica: los individuos no se comportan de forma racional, de manera sistemática —y menos en decisiones de consumo—, lo que conlleva a elecciones que no son óptimas. Este artículo plantea como hipótesis que los empleados no consideran de forma dinámica su esfuerzo en el trabajo y toman decisiones erróneas sobre la cantidad de trabajo que ofrecen, generando pérdidas sistemáticas en su bienestar y afectaciones en su productividad, lo que conlleva a la reducción de utilidades para las compañías. Se abre una línea de investigación para el aporte de nuevo conocimiento, que proponga una discusión académica interesante en relación con la intensificación de las elecciones de oferta laboral y la fatiga, siendo este un tema central en las actuales organizaciones.
The introduction of psychology and behavioral economics into economic science by economist Richard Thaler was recognized with the Nobel Prize in 2017. This article takes up part of those contributions to explore and rethink what, for more than a century, was established in labor supply theory from the microeconomic perspective: individuals do not behave rationally, systematically —and less so in consumption decisions—, leading to sub-optimal choices. This article hypothesizes that employees do not dynamically consider their effort at work and make erroneous decisions about the amount of work they offer, generating systematic losses in their welfare and affecting their productivity, which leads to reduced profits for companies. A line of research is opened for the contribution of new knowledge, which proposes an interesting academic discussion in relation to the intensification of labor supply choices and fatigue, being this a central issue in today's organizations.
A introdução da psicologia e da economia comportamental na ciência econômica pelo economista Richard Thaler foi reconhecida com o Prêmio Nobel em 2017. Este artigo retoma parte dessas contribuições para explorar e repensar o que, por mais de um século, foi estabelecido na teoria da oferta de trabalho a partir de uma perspectiva microeconômica: os indivíduos não se comportam de forma racional, sistemática - e menos ainda nas decisões de consumo - levando a escolhas subótimas. Este artigo levanta a hipótese de que os funcionários não consideram dinamicamente seu esforço no trabalho e tomam decisões erradas sobre a quantidade de trabalho que oferecem, gerando perdas sistemáticas em seu bem-estar e afetando sua produtividade, o que leva à redução dos lucros das empresas. Abre-se uma linha de pesquisa para a contribuição de novos conhecimentos, que propõe uma discussão acadêmica interessante em relação à intensificação das escolhas de oferta de trabalho e à fadiga, sendo essa uma questão central nas organizações atuais.
