Belief and Organization examines the alternative belief systems
which contemporary organizational actors live by and through which
they seek to find meaning within the dominant (neo)capitalist
social order. The widespread search for personal meaning reflects
what Charles Taylor refers to as the'massive subjective turn of
modern culture' and a corresponding drive to locate subjective
'sources of significance. Such subjectivist strategies enable
people to disregard, resist or subvert the globalizing capitalist
imperatives that would otherwise have them become worshippers of
the new human gods. Alternative belief systems take a variety of
forms and contributors to this volume represent a range of
positions - some religious or spiritual, others secular -, which
are presently being adopted and acted on in European and US
workplaces. The authors of this work have deliberately courted an
international framing of the issues in order to better reflect
trends in organizational conduct in the Western hemisphere. By this
heterodox approach, they intentionally seek to spread the net to
embrace a wider set of religious and non-religious beliefs and
affiliations.
A discussion on the social complexity approach, where dialogue and
stories allow for the degrees of freedom needed for the
opportunities of emergence to take root. The authors focus on the
experience of coherence and how such experiential lessons differ
from the establishment and maintenance of categories and labels.
