Why do we work? Management practitioners and scholars have
attempted to answer this question for more than a century, although
'new' responses often turn out be more of the same, recycled
through new metaphors or methods. Indeed the 'usual suspects' of
Maslow, Herzberg and Vroom continue to underpin managerial
interventions like BPR and empowerment, and are still taught on
business courses around the world. But 'the motivated' in this
world view are deficient and needy, passively waiting for external
stimulation or greedy calculators of behavioural outcomes. This is
not just old-fashioned: it doesn't match reality. Motivation theory
needs to change. This book rises to that challenge.The Passion of
Organizing enriches motivation theory by showing how to rethink it
in three moves. First, it considers the 'dark side' of motivation,
including the roles of addiction, obsession, sex and death. Second,
it revisits the suppressed roots of motivation in offering an
alternative understanding of desire. Third, it embraces the full
complexity of work experience beyond financial reward and
instrumentality, from generosity, joy and laughter through anxiety,
oppression and tedium to pain, violence and horror, to encompass
the many possible meanings of passion at work. Seventeen authors
from three continents bring powerful arguments to bear on topics as
diverse as pizzas, football management and blowjobs. Their ideas
are an exciting and a thought-provoking resource for anyone
interested in understanding motivation in organizational contexts.
