Ethics of care and co‐worker relationships in UK banks
基于关怀伦理分析框架,研究英国银行在绩效管理实践(尤其是电子绩效监控)下同事关系如何变得物化、疏离和充满冲突,并探讨人们抵御个体化侵蚀、维护关怀能力的可能性。
Utilising an analytical framework based on an ethics of care approach, this article examines the changing nature of co‐worker relationships in UK banks under the rise of performance management practices. It illustrates that with the implementation of performance management practices in general, and electronic performance management monitoring in bank branches in particular, co‐worker relationships have become increasingly objectified, resulting in disconnected and conflict‐ridden forms of engagement. The analysis reveals the multi‐layered and necessarily complex nature of co‐worker relationships in a changing technologically driven work environment and highlights the possibilities for people to defend the capacity to care for others from the erosive tendencies of individualised processes.
