This paper intends to present some reflections in an approach to the organizational analysis from the perspective of the thought of Nobert Elias.
The main motivation emerges from the existing gap in theoretical-methodological and empirical literature that bases organizational analysis from the promising assumptions of figurational sociology centered on a model of the evolution of psychogenetic and psychosocial processes in the interpersonal relationships of social reality, to fertilize the different theories of organizations and explain social transformations. This analysis is derived from the reflections of the works “The civilizing process” and “The Solitude of the Dying” of Norbert Elias.
It is concluded that the forms of organization of power in organizations are based on the degree of evolutionary psychogenetic and psychosocial development of individuals, their interrelationships and conflicts with each other and with social practices in their specific context, to reach certain levels of development ranging from societies with organizations and institutions in barbarism to civilized societies where the power relations between individuals, organizations and the State are based on the full exercise of human, economic, civil, political and social rights .
