The impact of mothers on new management practices

Abstract

The article Reimagining Management: The Impact of Mothers on New Management Practices focuses on exploring how the experiences of working mothers influence contemporary management practices. This study seeks to challenge traditional management norms by integrating the unique experiences of women who balance work and family responsibilities, highlighting the importance of their perspective in the work environment. The evaluation was carried out theoretically with input from different authors and methodologically, using ethnographic approaches to gather information about the experiences of women and mothers at work. Phenomenological and hermeneutic methods were applied to delve deeper into their experiences, allowing for a richer understanding of their realities. The comprehensive literature review supported the findings, providing a solid theoretical framework that contextualizes the research within the management field. The analysis reveals that management practices must evolve to recognize the human being as an integral entity with professional and personal needs. This involves adopting approaches integrating ontological coaching and promoting inclusive leadership that values ​​creativity and adaptability. Chaos theory is presented as a key tool to manage uncertainty and foster innovation in organizations seeking to become more resilient. In addition, the need for flexible organizational structures that facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences among employees is underlined. It invites us to rethink current work dynamics, emphasizing the relevance of the role of mothers in the reimagining of management, to create more equitable and sustainable work environments.
