Decisión, Acción, Agencia, Transacción, Sociología relacional.Resumen
Objetivo del estudio: En este ensayo problematizamos los supuestos onto-epistemológicos de las teorías del proceso de toma de decisiones organizacionales, con atención a los conceptos de acción y decisión.
Enfoque: Partiendo de la perspectiva epistemológica de la transacción, nuestro objetivo es proponer una comprensión de la decisión como elemento relacional de y en acción.
Originalidad / relevancia: A partir de la sociología relacional, en la perspectiva de la transacción, y particularmente, en la idea de agencia relacional, sugerimos la concepción de la entatividad de decisión.
Principales resultados: esta concepción nos permitió combinar teóricamente las dimensiones procedimental y performativa del fenómeno de interés.
Aporte teórico: Como aporte, desarrollamos un original marco teórico-explicativo, que, al entender la decisión como elemento de diferenciación de las organizaciones frente a otros sistemas sociales, nos permite llevarla al centro de nuestros estudios.
