If we combine these different dimensions, we see that behind the notion of autonomy emerges a new way of thinking about work — one that differs from subordinated labor or work seen merely as a “factor of production.”
Between prescribed work and real work, between granted autonomy and earned autonomy, between freedom and social constraints, a new approach to management is emerging: moving away from constraint to allow employees to propose initiatives, as long as their proposals create value for the organization.
Ultimately, the goal is to develop and harness their expertise in the interest of the organization, while also supporting their emancipation, which could be seen as the ultimate purpose of work.
