This thesis aims to explain why many workers are unhappy with their work. Due to its inherent logic, capitalism inevitably dehumanizes all workers, although to varying degrees. This work describes and explores the dehumanization of workers. Namely, it highlights the characteristics of capitalism that result in feelings of objectification and alienation, which leads to dehumanization. Besides analyzing the structure of capitalism that leads to dehumanization, several workers’ voices are introduced to support this theoretical claim. Ultimately, in order to break out of this bondage of oppression, a revolutionary perspective must be introduced that includes a humane dimension where we can cultivate a healthier work environment free of exploitation. Keywords: capitalism, dehumanization, objectification, alienation
