From the economy of production to the economy of care

Abstract

Nowadays, employees are assessed by how effectively they do their job. Helping people is not an indicator of productivity. Labor productivity affects the financial performance of the company, and, according to employers, direct duties are more important than talking to a person who needs it. Because due to such communication, the productivity decreases. An approach in which the main condition is the productivity of employees is not correct, since it puts financial goals above a person. From a humanistic point of view, caring for people should prevail over labor productivity. Consequently, our entire economic system must radically change. The article analyzes the process of transition from the economy of production to the economy of care, and also describes the current economic trends.
