ABSTRACT
Obesity has not received the attention it deserves in the study of organizations and management. There is a gap in the study of diversity and work regarding obesity as a category of organizational life, although the obesity is, worldwide, a social and public health challenge. In this theoretical paper, we discuss relevant aspects of this subject with the aim of providing an agenda to stimulate researches on obesity in organizational analysis. We present our analysis on two points: (1) obesity and body politics; and (2) the symbolic meanings of obesity in organizational practices. We articulated these two points with the instrumental view and critical view.
