Abstract

Performance at all costs, productivity without regard to consequences, and a competitive work environment: these are the ethical factors discussed in The Anatomy of Ethical Leadership, which highlights issues in workplace culture while looking into a brighter future for labour ethics. Langlois maintains that an enhanced awareness of the process of ethical decision making in difficult situations will lead to the establishment of practices that encourage productive relationships between co-workers. Will the twenty-first century be marked as an era leading to a healthier work environment?

Abstract

Drawing on interviews the author explores the disorienting effects of the new capitalism. He reveals the vivid and illuminating contrast between two worlds of work: the vanished world of rigid, hierarchical organizations, where what mattered was a sense of personal character, and the brave new world of corporate re-engineering, risk, flexibility, networking, and short-term teamwork, where what matters is being able to reinvent yourtself on a dime. In some ways the changes characterizing the new capitalism are positive; they make for a dynamic economy. But they can also be destructive, eroding the sense of sustained purpose, integrity of self, and trust in others that an earlier generation understood as essential to personal character.

Abstract

‘Presented in the form of an exhaustive guide to dealing with issues ranging from compliance enforcement to whistle-blower protection, Marek Bugdol’s book is primarily a timely and thorough compendium of solutions useful in the course of management of any organisation, however small or large. Based on the author’s thorough engagement with extant literature and full of illustrative examples, the book will be indispensable to students, scholars, and practitioners of management alike.’ —Jerzy Kociatkiewicz, University of Sheffield, UK ‘This well-written monograph provides coverage of many important issues, including discipline, control and punishment. It is unique in that it links theory and practice. In this book, the models of discipline, self-discipline and organisations without bosses are described. All readers will find much to stimulate their thinking, especially when reading about the methods of behaviour modification.’ —Joanna Paliszkiewicz, Professor of Management, Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Poland, and Adjunct Professor, University of Vaasa, Finland Providing insight into the currently applied models, basic definitions and functions of work discipline systems within organisations, this book analyses the risks, limitations and the potential of developing organisational discipline structures. It examines various examples and manifestations of unethical and criminal behaviour in the workplace and places special emphasis on informal pubishment structures and the conditions under which they occur. Difficult topics are tackled including sabotage, theft, bullying, financial fraud, sexual harrassment and blackmail. Assessing the effectiveness of work discipline systems upon organisational behaviour, this innovative book offers practical solutions for managers, as well as new approaches for those studying human resource management. Marek Bugdol is Professor of Management and Head of the Chair of Quality Management at Jagiellonian University, Poland. He specialises in the social issues related to management, primarily in values and organisational behaviour. He worked for many years in an international manufacturing company, starting at the position of manual labourer and finishing as the marketing department manager. He has also held managerial positions in local government institutions. .

Abstract

While most people work ever-longer hours, international statistics suggest that the average time spent on non-work activities per employee is around two hours a day. How is this possible, and what are the reasons behind employees withdrawing from work? In this thought-provoking book, Roland Paulsen examines organizational misbehavior, specifically the phenomenon of 'empty labor', defined as the time during which employees engage in private activities during the working day. This study explores a variety of explanations, from under-employment to workplace resistance. Building on a rich selection of interview material and extensive empirical research, it uses both qualitative and quantitative data to present a concrete analysis of the different ways empty labor unfolds in the modern workplace. This book offers new perspectives on subjectivity, rationality and work simulation and will be of particular interest to academic researchers and graduate students in organizational sociology, organization studies, and human resource management.

Abstract

Perspectives théoriques et études de cas concrets sont exposées par 28 enseignants-chercheurs français et internationaux réunis par l'ADERSE (Association pour le Développement de l'Enseignement et de la Recherche sur la Responsabilité Sociale de l'Entreprise) pour explorer les formes de construction d'une gouvernance mondiale dans la tourmente des crises systémiques actuelles. L'ouvrage répond à des questions telles que : RSE et modèle social en France et en Europe : convergences et divergences ? Existe-t-il une RSE concrète pour les multinationales à travers le monde ? Qu'est-ce que l'éco-responsabilité dans les entreprises en réseau ? Comment concilier développement du tourisme international et développement durable ? Comment maîtriser les risques sociaux et environnementaux d'une logistique dopée par l'explosion des échanges internationaux ? Quelles sont les approches RSE des entreprises en Inde, en Chine, en Amérique latine ? Quels sont les rapports de force réels entre firmes globales, États souverains, communauté internationale, ONG ? Comment financer la RSE par la réduction des coûts cachés ? Cet ouvrage intéressera les professionnels spécialisés, les managers en poste dans des entreprises engagées dans des démarches RSE (à l'international) ainsi que les professeurs et étudiants en Gestion à l'Université (du 1er au 3e cycle), des Grandes Écoles de commerce et Écoles d'ingénieurs.
