Economía del comportamiento: investigación y práctica en la gestión de recursos humanos

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to analyze behavioral economics in the context of human resources management. Using a bibliographic approach and a systematic literature review methodology, we provided a description of the characteristics of behavioral economics, cited some authors who have contributed to this discipline, as well as their most important theories and supporting foundations. Finally, we assessed the level of research and application that behavioral economics has had in the field of human resources management. The results demonstrated that behavioral economics is a valuable tool for managing intellectual capital, significantly enhancing employee performance and well-being, thereby promoting sustainability and the achievement of organizational objectives. Despite the increasing application of behavioral economics in both public and private organizations, (especially concerning nudges), there is a need for further research in this area and the utilization of measures based on behavioral economics to assess behavior and performance in the workplace.
