Dignity in the Workplace : New Theoretical Perspectives (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017)

Introducing a theory of workplace dignity into the field of management studies, this innovative new book presents an alternative paradigm based on principles of human dignity which is integrated into a theoretical approach to the topic.

The author addresses and analyses the causes and consequences of the dominant political-economic paradigm within management studies.

Further, it presents a theoretical alternative which can constitute a foundation for a new way of thinking about organisations, management, and leadership.

Dignity in the Workplace offers scholars ideas for how research in the field of management studies may be enriched by a dignity-paradigm, and goes further to explore the role of a dignity-paradigm in the function of HR-managers and organisational leaders.

Thus, the book aims to contribute to the need for alternative conceptualisations of how contemporary organisations can be managed.
