The Commons and the Moral Organization
研究指出复杂组织如同公地,监管难以防止搭便车;强大的企业文化虽能培养共同体意识,但可能道德上不合法。道德要求组织允许不满者退出、鼓励反思道德与美好生活、培养适度忠诚。
A complex organization is in effect a commons, which supervisory techniques cannot preserve from free riding. A corporate culture strong enough to create the requisite community-minded second-order desires and beliefs may be morally illegitimate. What morality requires is not local enforcement of foundational moral principles—a futile undertaking—but that the organization be a good community in that it permits the disaffected to exit, encourages reflective consideration of morality and the good life, and creates appropriate loyalty.
