Purpose

Well into the 21st century, it is difficult to deny the contribution that Mayan culture has made to the history of the world, and not only because of its contribution to universal culture with its architecture, astronomy and mathematics. Understanding the management practices of a Mayan dance (the dance of the Pochó) that has transcended over the years can give us an idea of the management practices carried out by an ancestral culture such as the Maya. The purpose of this article is to establish an initial conceptual relationship between the management process proposed by Henry Fayol (1916) and the management of a Mayan dance that has survived to the present day.

Design/methodology/approach

A specific ethnographic study was carried out in the municipality of Tenosique, Tabasco (Mexico) for two consecutive years. Research methods such as direct observation, researcher diaries, in-depth interviews and photographs were utilized that allowed a study of management practices.

Findings

Thanks to the cross-checking of the data obtained, it was possible to determine a theoretical-conceptual relationship between Fayol's management process and the Mayan dance studied. In fact, 12 specific management practices found in the four phases of the process were identified. In addition, with the ethnographic study it was possible to determine the levels of intensity and impact regarding the satisfaction of those attending and performing the dance.

Research limitations/implications

Research limitations are due to result from the fact that the analysis corresponds to a single Mayan dance in a specific place (Tenosique) in the state of Tabasco, Mexico.

Practical implications

To understand the management practices of the Mayan culture through the study of a dance that has remained alive until our days; this might be useful for the management practices of today's companies.

Originality/value

It is a pioneering study that analyzes a Mayan dance through the optics of management sciences.

民族志研究在传统玛雅舞蹈(Pochó舞蹈)中探索Fayol的管理过程

目的

进入21世纪,很难否认玛雅文化对世界历史的贡献,这不仅是因为玛雅文化以其建筑,天文学和数学对普世文化的贡献。了解多年来已经超越的玛雅舞蹈(Pochó舞蹈)的管理实践,可以使我们了解玛雅等祖传文化所进行的管理实践。本文的目的是在亨利·法约尔(Henry Fayol,1916)提出的管理过程与直到今天仍然存在的玛雅舞蹈的管理之间建立起初步的概念关系。

设计/方法/方法

连续两年在塔巴斯科(墨西哥)的特诺西克市开展了一项特定的人种志研究。研究方法包括直接观察,研究人员日记,深入访谈和照片,这些方法可用于研究管理实践。

发现

由于对获得的数据进行了交叉核对,因此有可能确定Fayol的管理过程与所研究的玛雅舞蹈之间的理论概念联系。实际上,在流程的四个阶段中发现了12种特定的管理实践。此外,通过民族志研究,可以确定与参加和表演舞蹈的人的满意度有关的强度和影响程度。

研究局限/意义

由于分析对应于墨西哥塔巴斯科州特定地点(特诺斯克)的单个玛雅舞,因此导致了研究局限。

实际影响

通过研究直到现在一直活着的舞蹈来了解玛雅文化的管理实践;这对于当今公司的管理实践可能很有用。

创意/价值

这是一项开创性研究,它通过管理科学的视角分析了玛雅舞蹈。
