Do you want to learn about research on Human Flourishing?

What is known about Human Flourishing worldwide?

The concept of human flourishing has emerged through continuous research into questions that have accompanied humans and their societies throughout their evolution and history. Multiple authors have sought meaning to questions such as: How does one live well? Is living well or well-being an idea that was created or taught? Is it felt or intuited? Is it practiced or improved through training? Are there necessary conditions for happiness? Are these conditions the same for everyone, passed through indoctrination or taught through example?

These varied questions gradually gave rise to the concept of human flourishing, which developed not only to provide a definition for happiness but also to study and establish samplings, statistics, and quantitative studies to ensure the positive development of individuals and society. This makes the study of human flourishing multidisciplinary and multidirectional.

We invite you to explore all the resources in this section, where you will discover material for reflection, bibliometric studies, and general knowledge created by our research department and institutions worldwide.

Scientific Research on Human Flourishing

The research department develops resources, tools, and articles to generate knowledge around our institution's significant "why", always grounded in the scientific and humanistic rigor characteristic of the Tec de Monterrey.

In this way, we reflect on the concept of human flourishing due to its relevance and meaning in the near future. With this, we aim to promote conditions that foster human flourishing to achieve the best version of individuals, communities, and planetary society.

Find here some of the knowledge we have generated from our institution.

Love as a concept in academic research: A bibliometric review

Love is a key topic in a variety of disciplines, from the social and biological sciences to the humanities. However, despite consistent empirical findings on the impacts of various aspects of love on well-being, theorizing on this topic remains a work in progress, with considerable fragmentation and debate. Against such a broad picture, this article offers a productive way forward in the form of a bibliometric exploration of the scientific literature on love, identifying and understanding the patterns in how scholars have been using the term 'love' in scientific research.

Recursos de investigación en temas sobre el florecimiento humano

¿Qué se sabe de FH en el mundo?

El florecimiento humano es un concepto surgido mediante la investigación continua de interrogantes que han acompañado al ser humano y sus sociedades a lo largo de su evolución y de su historia; múltiples autores han buscado el significado a las preguntas ¿Cómo se vive bien? ¿El vivir bien o el bienestar son una idea que se creó o que se enseñó? ¿Se siente o se intuye? ¿Se práctica o se mejora mediante algún entrenamiento? ¿Existen las condiciones necesarias para ser feliz? ¿Son las mismas condiciones para todos, las cuales se pasan mediante adoctrinamiento o son enseñadas mediante el ejemplo?

Las interrogantes varias generaron de a poco el concepto de florecimiento humano, el cual se desarrolló no solamente para proveer una definición a la felicidad sino, para estudiar y establecer muestreos, estadística y estudios cuantitativos para asegurar el desarrollo positivo de los individuos como el de la sociedad, haciendo que el estudio del florecimiento de las personas sea multidisciplinario y multidireccional.

Integrity and Compliance

Our Purpose

At Tecnológico de Monterrey, one of the guiding principles that drive us is “commitment to ethics and values”. For this reason, we promote ethical behavior throughout our entire community, aiming to conduct ourselves with integrity, honesty, and respect for human dignity, as well as justice, freedom, equality, responsibility, and compliance in all our actions and decisions, thus contributing to the flourishing of our entire community.

Therefore, from the Vice Presidency of Integrity and Compliance, our objective is:

“To ensure our community an experience in reliable, safe, and resilient Tec contributes to its flourishing”.

360° Integrity

As an Institution, we aim to ensure the ethical management of our institutions is based on respect for human dignity, integrity, and the experience of our values, to create a learning and working environment that lays the foundations for human flourishing, social commitment, and sustainability.

The 360° integrity unfolds in two dimensions: academic and institutional, both guided by an ethical and normative framework that serves as a reference for both.

The Institutional Integrity program aims to promote a respectful, consistent, and values driven institutional culture that is committed to the ethical principles governing our institution. It focuses on caring for and developing individuals and resources through policies that foster honesty, transparency, confidentiality, and accountability.

To achieve this purpose, in conjunction with our code of ethics, values, and conduct guidelines, we have annual training on topics related to the code of ethics, integrity, and relevant regulations. The "My Commitment to Integrity" course signifies our dedication to our culture and ethical values, resulting in successful training of 95% of our staff and faculty this year.

At Tecnológico de Monterrey, we are committed to educating leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs who are conscious of their actions and the ethical responsibility this entails. Succeeding in this purpose within our community will only be possible if we all act with integrity, placing people at the core of our decisions and actions, as well as directing our efforts to live our values and the Code of Ethics, both within and outside the institution.

ETHOS was created with the objective of promoting compliance with our conduct standards, strengthening the culture of integrity, and respecting human dignity. It is a unique, safe, and confidential space where students, faculty, and staff can report in good faith any violations related to human dignity, academic integrity, student conduct, values, and ethics.

We are facing a conflict of interest when we find ourselves in a situation where the judgment or decision-making of our staff and faculty could be influenced by personal or third-party interests, jeopardizing the impartial fulfillment of the objectives of their position and of the institution.

Remember to disclose any conflicts of interest that arise at any time through the email: conflictosdeinteres@servicios.tec.mx
