Analysing the Destructive and Constructive Roles of Sexuality in Organizations within Eros and Play

Abstract

Within the Logos logic, mainstream organization studies see sexuality as a force of destructive which should be eliminated from the organizations. However, organizations cannot be totally desexualized. In every organization diverse sexualities are expressed. The relation of sexuality and Eros is controversial in social theory. Although, Eros depends on sexuality, Eros can be conceptualized as constructive within the qualitative and quantitative transformation of sexuality. This study analyses the relations of Eros, play and sexuality within their roles as "destructive" and "constructive" in organizations.
