Introducing a theory of workplace dignity into the field of management studies this innovative
new book presents an alternative paradigm based on principles of human dignity which is
integrated into a theoretical approach to the topic. The author addresses and analyses the
causes and consequences of the dominant political-economic paradigm within management studies.
Further it presents a theoretical alternative which can constitute a foundation for a new way
of thinking about organisations management and leadership. Dignity in the Workplace offers
scholars ideas for how research in the field of management studies may be enriched by a
dignity-paradigm and goes further to explore the role of a dignity-paradigm in the function of
HR-managers and organisational leaders. Thus the book aims to contribute to the need for
alternative conceptualisations of how contemporary organisations can be managed.
