Work safety and the dogma of entrepreneurial monopoly on organization

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to explain, from a perspective of legal culture analysis, and in relation to some concepts from the Theory of Organizational Action, the difficulty to guide the production of labour norms about safety consistently with a conception of primary prevention. Only if we conceive organization as a continuous regulation and adjustment of relationships and tasks, according to a basis of bounded rationality, it is possible to achieve a complete integration of the issue of well-being into the organizational dimension; in other words, to think about well-being as an intrinsic component of organized work. Instead, such possibility cannot be achieved if organization is conceived – according to a subjectivistic conception – as the unpredictable outcome of an ex-ante unregulated interaction of social actors. Or, even more, such possibility cannot be achieved if organization is conceived - according to a reified and objectivistic conception – as a mechanism of “income optimization”, based on the idea of absolute, economic rationality.
