通过分析西蒙娜·薇依关于管理、工作和组织的思想，将管理概念化为一种压迫形式，并探讨其对当代管理主义批判的意义，尤其关注新型管理专业知识和自我管理现象。
ABSTRACT This paper seeks to make a contribution to the critical literature on management and, more particularly, to the critique of managerialism. This is achieved via a consideration of the hitherto neglected writing of Simone Weil (1909–43) on management, work and organizations. Following an introduction to this work, attention is focused on Weil's notion of oppression, and detailed consideration is given to the conceptualization of management as a form of oppression. the bulk of the paper elaborates the significance of Weil's work for the critique of contemporary forms of managerialism. In particular, the development of new forms of managerial expertise, and the phenomenon of self‐management, are analysed as forms of oppression. It is suggested that Weil offers the basis of a non‐relativist post‐Marxist form of ethically grounded critique in the field of management studies.
