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

Sinds het verschijnen van de eerste editie van deze studie in 1981 geldt de Nederlandse professor Geert Hofstede wereldwijd als één van de grondleggers van het vergelijkend intercultureel onderzoek. Deze studie is gebaseerd op de gegevens van een grootschalige enquête onder het personeel van de afdelingen in 72 landen van het bedrijf IBM. Op basis van de analyse van de database met meer dan 116.000 ingevulde vragenlijsten ontwikkelde Hofstede een model met vijf dimensies als graadmeter voor cultuurverschillen: machtsafstand, individualisme versus collectivisme, masculiniteit versus feminiteit, onzekerheidsvermijding en lange- versus kortetermijndenken. Dit is een verkorte editie van het oorspronkelijk onderzoek, in 2001 verscheen een nieuwe, herwerkte editie van 'Culture's consequences'.

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

It is one thing to be poor in a society of producers and universal employment; it is quite a different thing to be poor in a society of consumers, in which life projects are built around consumer choices rather than on work, professional skills or jobs. Where `being poor'' was once linked to being unemployed, today it draws its meaning primarily from the plight of a flawed consumer. This has a significant effect on the way living in poverty is experienced and on the prospects for redeeming its misery. Work, Consumerism and the New Poor traces this change over the duration of modern history. It
