This book focuses on a new and emerging, yet as old as recorded
history, organizational concern: virtue. Virtue has recently become
a topic of serious examination among organizational researchers and
progressive companies who are exploring their role in creating new,
more holistic, healthy, and humane work environments. With
interdisciplinary insights by many of the world's leading
management thinkers, the book includes conceptual treatments,
empirical research, and actual cases concerning virtuous behavior
and leadership under conditions of crises, and ordinary and
exemplary times.Until recently, scholarly research paid scant
attention to virtue, especially in organizations. The pursuit of
virtue, as opposed to the bottom line, remained outside the
acceptable domain of practising managers faced with economic
pressures and stakeholder demands. Concepts such as efficiency,
return on investment (ROI), and competitive advantage were
emphasized over more virtuous concerns such as caring, compassion,
integrity and wisdom. The Virtuous Organization fills this void by
presenting paradigm-shifting insights of leading scholars that have
the potential to change the face of management thinking and
practice for both this and future generations.
