Abstract
BENDASSOLLI, Pedro Fernando. Cooperate to compete or compete to cooperate?. Cad. psicol. soc. trab. [online]. 2002, vol.5, pp.57-61. ISSN 1516-3717.
This paper discusses competition and cooperation in the organizational setting, taking as a reference the conceptions of work and job that are going on in the current market place. The article assumes that work should be detached from all essentialistic characteristics that lie behind it, and that cooperation among people should not be constrained to work, but should embrace concepts as dependency and solidarity.
Keywords : Competition; Cooperation; Meaning of work; Pragmatism.
