Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the current world of work, the evolution of the evolution of organizational designs, and to propose the organizational design that best suits the needs of the liquid company. It is a descriptive proposal, product of a thematic analysis, based on secondary sources, of information available in catalogs of scientific journals selected on the basis of key words. Companies seek to adapt to the changes and demands of the environment by means of an organizational design that promotes autonomy and cooperation. Liquid modernity and digitalization challenge the traditional model, promoting the emergence of less hierarchical work structures. Holacracy emerges as an alternative that distributes authority horizontally, promoting autonomy and innovation. Its theoretical framework focuses on work groups, roles, autonomy and flexibility, highlighting the importance of transparent communication and role delimitation.
