商品簡介
In recent decades, dignity has emerged as an increasingly important yet still underexplored concept in management and organizational studies. While widely recognized in philosophy, law, human rights, and social theory, dignity is often addressed only indirectly in management research, frequently subsumed within discussions of respect, ethics, well-being, or corporate responsibility. Contemporary organizational realities, including digital transformation, artificial intelligence, precarious work, global inequalities, and shifting power dynamics, underscore the need for a more explicit, critical, and multidimensional examination of dignity. Rather than viewing dignity as a singular or fixed concept, it is more appropriately understood as a plural and evolving construct shaped by diverse theoretical and practical perspectives. These perspectives illuminate different dimensions of dignity and contribute to a richer understanding of how it is experienced, promoted, managed, and contested within organizational life. Perspectives and Implications of Dignity for Management advances the debate on dignity in organizational contexts by bringing together diverse theoretical and empirical contributions that place dignity at the center of management thought and practice. By foregrounding dignity as a critical organizational concern, the book not only enriches academic discourse but also provides valuable insights for managers, leaders, and organizations seeking to foster more humane, equitable, and socially responsible approaches to management. Covering topics such as dignified local development, measuring dignity in organizations, and human dignity in organizational life, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, managers, executives, organizational leaders, human resource professionals, business ethicists, corporate governance professionals, policymakers, and more.
