Abstract
The organizational power is not manifested only by coercive ways nowadays. It operates through power devices, including disciplinary methods, which operate directly on the subjectivity of the subject. These mechanisms make workers recognizable, identifiable and comparable among each other. This study aimed to clarify part of the results of research on organizational control and subjectivity in contemporary. Referred survey investigated the post-disciplinary logic present in organizational control mechanisms by questioning the link between technology and subjectivity. The results presented in this paper are relative to a portion of the total survey sample, composed by thirty subjects. The case of a woman employee of a transnational financial institution was chosen, setting this article as a case study. The results showed that the current logic on organization of work requires workers to assume the demands and the responsibility of results for themselves. Thus, there are signs that new forms of work organization enable the self-empowerment of the individual.
