Care is a human ability we all need for growing and flourishing. It
implies considering the needs and interests of others, and the
quality of how we relate to each other is often defined by care.
While the value of care in private life is widely recognized, its
role in the public sphere is contested and subject to political
debates. In work organizations, instrumentality frequently
overrides considerations for colleagues' and co-workers'
well-being, while relationships are often sacrificed in the service
of performance and meeting organizational targets. The questions
this volume attempts to address concerns the organizational
conditions that make care flourish and how a caring organization
functions in practice. Specifically, we examine what it means to
care for each other and what enhances caring behaviours in
organizations. The volume ultimately focuses on how caring
relations can contribute to making organizations better places. In
this perspective, care involves the recognition of, and the
limitations of, work as a key aspect of personal and social
identity. Because care exceeds the sphere of individual intimacy,
the book will also centre on the necessity for building caring
institutions through a political process that considers the needs,
contributions, and prospects of many different actors. This book
aims to contribute to academic discussions on care in
organizations, care work, business and organizational ethics,
diversity, caring leadership, well-being in organizations, and
research ethics. Managers, consultants, policy-makers, and students
will find reflections about the goodness of care in organizations,
and guidance about the ethical and practical difficulties of
pursuing the project of building caring organizations.
