Abstract. Nowadays the economy finds itself in a flurry of visions and of evolving conceptual instability. This framework carries exogenous pressures over companies and, mostly, over the individuals who form the working engine of the enterprise. If these pressures are not eased by the internal decision-making factors (the company’s top management, mainly), they will escalate and if the top management doesn’t find itself in accordance with the company’s vision, its mission and the economic forecast then external pressures may become exponential internal pressures which lead to the destruction of the company which finds itself at the cross-point of the pressures.

    This paper presents a 360 degrees type of vision over all the factors making up the working and productivity ecosystem of a company and over the interactions between the human resource and technological evolution, the working perspective of the irrational and the bidirectional hierarchical relationships. We also try to define some of the possible standard traps which may influence short-term productivity and the company’s medium and long term existence.

Keywords: human resource management, irrational perspective, technological perspective, productivity, feedback.
