Four Theatres: Moral Discourses in Polish Management
提出“四个剧场”隐喻,从社会建构主义和实用主义视角分析波兰企业中的道德话语,通过管理者对争议性陈述的回应揭示不同道德表演模式,并辅以案例说明。
This article proposes the metaphor of four theatres for the analysis of ethical discourses in management. The authors adopt a social constructivist and pragmatist perspective and explore the performative definitions of morality that people active within Polish business have. The preliminary results of a study carried out among Polish managers are presented. The managers were asked to respond to a list of highly controversial statements. Their responses have been analysed from the point of view of the theatrical metaphors. We present case studies of companies that illustrate the various theatrical modes that we have found in our material. Finally, some implications for change are analysed.
