Rethinking Dignity In The Workplace - A Relational Approach

by Laura Mitchell

~~63,59€~~ 57,23€ 10% OFF

 Dignity in the context of work organisations has been explored by a range of scholars globally, yet the potential of this interdisciplinary concept is overwhelmed by our commitment to outdated philosophies and the narrow paradigmatic concerns of academic subdisciplines. Bringing together the work of sociologists, philosophers, political theorists, and a wide selection of business and management scholarship, this book highlights areas in which 'workplace' dignity needs a rethink. Starting with the foundational philosophical assumptions, this book challenges a deontological ethic and a simple atomistic view of persons. A specific thesis of dignity as emergent from social performance is presented which is informed by symbolic interactionism, actor-network theory, and liberal and feminist philosophy. With organisational examples throughout, this radical rethink has serious implications not only for the study of dignity in the context of contemporary work activity but also respecifies how we think about our obligations to ourselves and others in networks of relations.

Street Performance And Alternative Organisation - Aesthetics, The Arts And Humanistic Management

by Marta Polec

~~63,59€~~ 57,23€ 10% OFF

 The book presents a description of the phenomenon of organising street performances, both informal and within formalised structures, as well as its interpretation from the point of view of humanistic management. The book is a result of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Polish and European cities from 2014 to 2024.The central focus is the aspects of organisational aesthetics of the activities of street performers and street festival organisers. The dynamics of street performances are structured and emerge as a type of alternative organisation. The book aims at throwing light on these processes from the point of view of humanistic management, which is a relatively new topic in organisational studies and overlooked in other academic fields. The book also identifies and outlines some research implications for the combined area of humanistic management and arts management. It offers a model of the management of street performance embedded in a theoretical context of (1) humanistic management, (2) arts management, and (3) organisation informed by values (such as community and social entrepreneurship). Ultimately, the organisation of art in the urban sphere can gain from lessons from the alternative organisational practices depicted in this book, which, in turn, can inform broader humanistically oriented managerial visions.

Management Aesthetics - Kitsch And Modern Organisations

~~63,59€~~ 57,23€ 10% OFF

 This edited collection presents the complex theory of kitsch from aesthetic and artistic points of view, transposed into managerial and organisational fields. In the spirit of management aesthetics, on the ground of humanistic management, the central aim of the volume is to show that kitsch is a common phenomenon not only in art and culture but also in management, and its conscious perception and mindful use may be beneficial for achieving organisational and managerial goals efficiently. Due to the diverse research problems covered by particular chapters, no unified methodology is applied in the book; every author applied an optimal method for the selected topic. However, due to the complex and metaphysical character of the kitsch phenomenon, the only common fundament of all chapters is using the kitsch experience theory (Szostak and Sukowski, 2020). The dominant analytical approach is qualitative, with extensive use of case studies, comparative analyses, and ethnographic focus. Despite this, some chapters also include the application of the quantitative approach for the hypotheses’ verification. This book makes a giant step ahead of its competitors by implementing the kitsch theory, especially the kitsch experience theory in a broad spectrum of managerial and organisational fields like marketing, advertising, brand management, business communication, entrepreneurship, leadership, decision-making, human resource management, corporate social responsibility, city space management, management of technology and innovation, and organisational culture. It should be a must-read for researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students in these fields.
