Resumos

Em virtude do contínuo empenho do mundo de negócios de hoje e da maioria de nossas empresas em procurar permanente crescimento, expansão e sobrevivência, a noção da morte e da mortalidade está cada vez mais caindo no esquecimento. Este ensaio baseia-se na convicção de que qualidades humanas fundamentais como a significação, a maturidade e mesmo a sabedoria serão enfim expurgadas de nossas atividades econômicas, se as pessoas, individual ou coletivamente, não compreenderem que o trabalho que elas fazem, a vida que levam e a morte que um dia irão inevitavelmente experimentar estão todos inter-relacionados.

Through the ongoing attempt in our contemporary business world and in the majority of our work entreprises to search for ongoing growth, expansion and survival, the notion of death and mortality increasingly is falling into oblivion. The emphasis of this essay lies in the conviction that such fundamental human qualities as meaning, maturity and even wisdom eventual/y will be expatriated from our economic activities unless people individual/yas wel/ as col/ectively realize that the work they are doing, the life they are living, and the death they will inevitably experience, are interrelated.

ABSTRACT

Through the ongoing attempt in our contemporary business world and in the majority of our work entreprises to search for ongoing growth, expansion and survival, the notion of death and mortality increasingly is falling into oblivion. The emphasis of this essay lies in the conviction that such fundamental human qualities as meaning, maturity and even wisdom eventual/y will be expatriated from our economic activities unless people individual/yas wel/ as col/ectively realize that the work they are doing, the life they are living, and the death they will inevitably experience, are interrelated.

Key words: work, life, death, human resources.
