Guest Editors’ Introduction: Redefining Organizational Ethics Through the Lens of Life-and-Death
本特刊将生与死作为复合术语,探讨组织与组织化在日益不平等和多重危机背景下产生的生死攸关后果及其商业伦理含义,强调关怀伦理与包容性政治对重新定义组织伦理的作用。
We share the world we live and die in with others, in ways that are organized and disorganized. The authors of this special issue address life-and-death as a compound term, foregrounding the vital and deadly outcomes of (dis)organization and their (business) ethics implications as they play out in the context of growing inequalities and ongoing health, geopolitical, environmental, refugee crises and egregious war crimes. Organizations and organizing can shape such contexts by engaging in the ethics of care and politics of inclusivity, redefining “essential” or “front line” work, managing relationships between bodily health and work, or ethically relating to non-human forms of life. Considering the roles of organizations in terms of life-and-death can help scholars redefine organizations and/in/for/with the world by stressing the ethical dimensions of organizing for life which involves human and other-than-human relatedness and the obligation of care for all forms of life.
