Concluding Observations

Abstract

This book presents some of the latest thinking on dignity and organizations. It focuses on the conceptualization of dignity within organizational contexts and explores practices that either undermine, deny, remedy, or protect human dignity. While this book presented a short glimpse into ongoing research, it hopes to spark more such research. While dignity arguably is a base concept relevant for better organizing practices, much needs to be understood, formalized, and explored. We wish to encourage more conceptual work, measurement work, and studies exploring practices that protect and promote human dignity.
