Exploring the Meaning of “Good” Management
质疑将良好管理等同于提高员工满意度的主流观点,认为这可能导致生产力下降、自恋和群体思维,并从历史、哲学和文学角度论证强调人类成长和生产力才是更优的管理定义。
Recently, good management has come to be equated in theory with practices that increase worker satisfaction. This may inadvertently be contributing to low productivity, narcissism, and groupthink among the work force. Exploring contributions from history, philosophy, and literature, I conclude that while definitions of good may be contextual, there is little evidence to support a “contented cow” approach to management. Definitions that stress human growth and productivity may be of greater long-range benefit to our society.
