Work, death, and life itself: essays on management and organization
Sievers, Burkard
Work, death, and life itself: essays on management and organization Sievers, Burkard - Berlin Walter de Gruyter and Co. 1994 - xviii, 346 p. - De Gruyter studies in organization: Vol. 51. .
This unusual and thought-provoking work questions current mainstream approaches to organizational psychology. Grounded in organizational symbolism the author depicts the potential meaning of work in the broader context of life and death. Thus Siever's book is a fundamental critique of motivation, participation and leadership research. With human mortality in mind, organization and management appear in a different light: motivation as a surrogate for meaning, participation and management as a quarrel about immortality, and leadership as a perpetuation of immaturity. Sievers advocates a "management of wisdom".
