Preferred term

radical humanism  

Definition

  • Against the backdrop of current literature and debates on the evolution of management and good corporate governance of firms, as well as the lack of corporate ethics evident in the recent histories of Enron, Xerox, AOL, Warner, Tyco, Parmalat, and others, some radical humanists suggest managers must work towards a global vision of humanity whereby employees are accorded a larger share of control over their personal environment and working conditions. Humanism is centered on humanity and the significance of human undertaking. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Organization Studies; Radical Humanism]
