Abstract
La tesis doctoral visibiliza cómo se ocasiona la reproducción de la desigualdad a través del conocimiento de las condiciones de trabajo y vida de las mujeres de recursos humanos y que han permitido, entre otras cuestiones, avanza sobre las estrategias de descualificación y discriminación que están en juego. Este perfil permite analizar lo que a priori se plantea como origen (las políticas de recursos humanos) y las consecuencias de la discriminación (en las mujeres que trabajan en recursos humanos). Al interpretar sus discursos y estrategias se profundiza en sus decisiones personales y privadas, así como en sus decisiones respecto a los recursos humanos que gestionan. De esta manera, el objeto de estudio se ha convertido en un analizador excepcional, por una parte, por las nuevas aportaciones que hace al feminismo y, por otra, como caso paradigmático sociológico que muestra la potencia del análisis de las contradicciones entre estructura-acción que atraviesa la vida del individuo moderno. Contextualizar el estudio en la Comunidad de Madrid entre los años 2007-2013, inicio y empeoramiento de la crisis, ha permitido hacer visibles las contradicciones que integra los cambios en la capital metropolitana tras la incorporación masiva de las mujeres en las empresas a partir de los años ochenta y el cambio en las políticas laborales estatales y regionales cada vez más neoliberales. El caso de las mujeres de recursos humanos en este contexto, también, integra la participación de las mujeres en la flexibilidad de las organizaciones de trabajo; el cambio cultural y las políticas empresariales que promueven la igualdad de oportunidades; así como las contradicciones que rodean a las mujeres de clase media que entran en el mercado laboral, favorecidas pero, también, sustituidas por mujeres inmigrantes en el trabajo doméstico y que muestra, una vez más, como el Capital mantiene una relación contradictoria con el uso de la Fuerza de Trabajo dentro de un modelo de especialización flexible basado en bajos salarios, intensificación del trabajo y terciarización, convirtiendo a las mujeres en ese "obrer(o) soñad(o)" que ha dado centralidad al trabajo asalariado sin abandonar el trabajo doméstico, manejando recursos, espacios y tiempos entre las necesidades empresariales y familiares, bajo ese neologismo llamado el mito de la conciliación...
The doctoral thesis shows how the reproduction of inequality occurs through the analysis of the working and living conditions of women who work at human resources departments, analysis of gender inequalities that has been carried out through the study of their work and life as well as through the disqualification and discrimination strategies implemented. This profile allows analyzing what is seen as a priori origin of discrimination (human resources policies) and the consequences of it (women working in those departments). Also to interpret their speech and strategy: their personal and private decisions, as well as their decisions regarding the human resources they manage. In this manner, the object of the study turns into an exceptional analyzer, on one hand, for their contributions to feminism and, on the other, as a sociological paradigm showing the power of the analysis of the contradictions between structure-action spanning the life of the modern individual. Analyzing this topic in Madrid context 2007-2013, the beginning and the worsening of the crisis, it can make visible the contradictions that integrate changes in the metropolitan capital following the massive inclusion of women in the market of labor from the eighties and the change in the increasingly neoliberal regional and state labor policies. The case of women working in Human Resources, inside this context, also it integrate the involvement of women in the flexibility of labor organization; cultural change and equal opportunities policies that are promoted within companies; as well as the contradictions surrounding the middle-class women entering the labor market to be replaced by immigrant women in domestic work and showing, once again, as the Capital remains a contradictory relationship with the use of Workforce within a flexible specialization model founded on low wages, intensification of work and outsourcing, turning women into the" dreamed worker” that has given centrality to paid work without leaving domestic work, handling spaces and time between business and family needs, under the neologism called the myth of conciliation. It has been taken as an overall objective within this research: to make visible and analyze the reproduction of gender inequality across the working and living conditions, women who work at the department of Human Resources. Its specific objectives are: the influence of these women on their companies and Human Resources policies which affect the lives and work of the rest of the workforce, as well as on other companies; to analyze the working and living conditions of women working in these Human Resources departments; and the identification and analysis of these womeńs labor-residence strategy which affect their living and working conditions; and, finally, to determine to what extent the work they carry out (paid and domestic) affects their family and work strategies...
