Neurosciences in human resources management and the development of new skills

Abstract

The contribution of neuroscience has transcended the scientific field and has become increasingly relevant in human resource management. This development considers, among other aspects, the critical importance of talent retention within organizations and acknowledges that the human being, referred to in business terminology as an employee, possesses an emotional filter associated with the limbic system, which can affect decision-making processes. Additionally, individuals are capable of overcoming obstacles by demonstrating resilience and even developing what is known as neuroplasticity.

Furthermore, the employee exhibits a level of social desirability, as recognition is integral to their needs. However, they may have a supervisor whose cognitive biases impair effective decision-making, potentially impacting productivity. In this context, this article aims to identify, based on contributions from 27 current bibliographic sources and through a hermeneutic analysis, key aspects and their relation to specific actions that need to be implemented in an organization focused on continuous improvement and adaptation to the rapid technological advancements.
