En la actualidad, la confianza es un factor clave de éxito para las organizaciones, razón por la cual emprenden estrategias para adquirirla, incrementarla, conservarla e, incluso, recuperarla. Sin embargo, al ser la confianza un término equívoco, tiene diferentes acepciones de acuerdo con la perspectiva desde la cual se aborde. Por tanto, el objetivo de este artículo fue discutir el sentido en el que es posible hablar de la confianza en las organizaciones, para lo cual se utilizó un método hermenéutico, poniendo en diálogo crítico la administración con apuntes de la filosofía moral reciente, dando cuenta de cómo la argumentación filosófica ofrece luces para repensar el tema de la confianza dentro de las organizaciones, entendiéndola más allá de lo aceptado comúnmente como obvio. Como fruto de este diálogo hermenéutico entre el managment y la filosofía, se propone que para hablar de confianza en las organizaciones debe entenderse tanto en sentido propio como metafórico, considerarse que esta se da en diferentes niveles de acuerdo con el tipo de relación entre las partes interesadas y que la obligación puede ser el lazo para justificarla.

This paper presents a set of reflections related to the commitments and responsibilities that organizations should assume within society as a whole, as well as in the natural environment, and not only in respect to the entities with which the organizations sustain frequent relations. We try to approach the different themes that are presented with a comprehensive, holistic, systemic vision, trying to base the construction of a new vision on social, environmental and organizational consciousness. We start from the conceptualization that an organization is not isolated, but it permanently interacts with a context that influences it, and is influenced by the organization. Starting from this basis, diverse definitions are analyzed about what is considered as "social responsibility," "ecological responsibility," and "business ethics," among other terms, which are themes that recently have become important and have apparently been converted into fads adopted by corporations in order to look "responsible", to obtain a certain reputation and recognition; nevertheless, the application of those terms is deemed by the authors to suffer from deep deficiencies. For example, on one hand corporations apply these terms only to clients and suppliers, and on the other hand they have been dealt with as a gracious gift to the community where they are operating, and for those reasons, their claims come up short. This paper tries to contribute to the construction of a conceptual framework for "organizational commitment and responsibility" with the purpose of rescuing the positive aspects of those concepts and not seeing them only as passing fads.
