Description
This volume includes six varied contributions to the study of visual ethics in organizations. The implications of our visual world for organizational life and personal behaviour have received scant research attention. This volume sets out to address that lack of research. It includes contributions on empirical studies, film, personal portraits, social research using the photovoice method, bureaucracy and critical theory. Contributors show how the application of disciplines developed for the study of films can help us to understand how organizations are perceived, and how visual images can be used in empirical research about organizations, ethics and organizational citizenship behaviour. Some say philosophy has abandoned art, some that humans lack moral vision. A number of contributors show how a careful and informed study of art can enhance our understanding of organizational life. This volume seeks to put the visual back into ethics and organizations.
Reviews / Votes
This volume brings together 11 essays by business, education, and other researchers from North America, Australia, Europe, and China, who illustrate how the study of art can enhance understanding of organizational life and personal behavior. They discuss the influence of visual images of people on work-related behavior; the box constructions of Joseph Cornell as a set of visual representations to examine bureaucratic and post-bureaucratic theory in the context of organizational ethics; the portrayal of the organization in popular Western films; Photovoice, a qualitative research process used by governments and non-government organizations to enable those from disadvantaged groups to share experiences and issues through photos and stories; how discipline-based art education can be a means for creating dialogues that reframe ideas of accountability in education; the aesthetics of artists' self-portraits and philosophical novels as metaphors to overcome depersonalization, routinization, and linear temporality in the organizational setting; political ethics, the ethics of public organizations, and personal ethics; how behavioral theories can improve foreign aid efficiency and effectiveness; the effect of embedded managerial values on corporate financial outcomes; and shared value and factors that have negatively affected business stakeholders. -- Annotation (c)2018 * (protoview.com) *More details
