Starting with the foundational philosophical assumptions, this book challenges a deontological ethic and a simple atomistic view of persons. A specific thesis of dignity as emergent from social performance is presented which is informed by symbolic interactionism, actor-network theory, and liberal and feminist philosophy.
With organisational examples throughout, this radical rethink has serious implications not only for the study of dignity in the context of contemporary work activity but also respecifies how we think about our obligations to ourselves and others in networks of relations.
Reviews / Votes
"This profound and very interesting book introducing the concept of 'Relational Working Dignity' offers relevant and new perspectives on how dignity can be conceptualized within the workplace, and how it may inform practice and create possibilities for more dignified workplaces." Prof. Dr. Matthijs Bal, Professor of Responsible Management, University of Lincoln, UK"'Rethinking Dignity in the Workplace' certainly delivers on its promise. Based on a thoughtful integration of current multidisciplinary work on the topic, Dr. Mitchell offers a truly novel perspective on dignity that stands in stark contrast to conventional wisdom-that dignity is embedded in relationships, not endowed in individuals." Kristen Lucas, University of Louisville, USA
