Item type:Publication, Guiding unphilosophical employees: organizational autonomy and work design theory in light of virtue ethicsPurpose This paper aims to address how to foster ethical decision-making in autonomous organizational contexts without undermining employee autonomy. It aims to provide a neo-Aristotelian response to this issue by exploring how MacIntyre’s virtue ethics – particularly his idea of the “unphilosophical” or “plain person” – can guide ethical decision-making in organizations without limiting autonomy. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual paper that, building on the problem addressed in work design theory regarding autonomy and ethical decision making, applies a MacIntyrean virtue ethics approach to explore practical considerations for employees to guide their non-expert ethical decision-making. Accordingly, the paper offers a complementary framework rooted in virtue ethics that emphasizes excellence, shared deliberation, fellowship and care as paths for a practical roadmap aimed toward ethical decision-making. Findings The paper suggests that MacIntyre’s virtue ethics provides a robust framework for addressing the paradox of autonomy and unethical behavior in organizations presented by work design theory. It shows that fostering shared deliberation, fellowship, and care can help employees identify and pursue workplace excellence while maintaining personal integrity and organizational effectiveness. Originality/value This study reframes the relationship between autonomy and ethics in the workplace, providing a philosophically grounded – yet accessible framework for plain, nonphilosophical employees – to address the paradox of autonomy and unethical behavior in organizations. It shows that fostering shared deliberation, fellowship and care can help employees identify and pursue workplace excellence while maintaining personal integrity and organizational effectiveness.7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Virtuous work and organizational culture: how Aristotelian practical wisdom can humanize businessThis chapter aims to overcome the rationalistic and mechanistic paradigm of organizational theory redefining the nature of organizations as a community of work. We sustain that Aristotelian practical wisdom deepens our understanding of organizations by incorporating different features of personal work in organizational contexts, such as meaning, interpretation, ambiguity, conflict, context-dependence, productivity and reflexivity. In this chapter, we will explain (i) how the organization aimed to excellence is better defined as a community of work, and (ii) how practical wisdom in an organization must be defined in light of work as a deliberative and participative production. Thus, the goal of the chapter is twofold: first, it seeks to introduce a concept of work into the Aristotelian organizational theory; second, it aims to show the potential of Aristotelian practical wisdom for deepening our understanding of organizations by integrating an Aristotelian definition of the community of work and common good into organizational theory.© 2021 Routledge.1 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Necesidad, equilibrio y don: sobre el respaldo antropológico de la economíaEn la modernidad se desarrolla una antropología del equilibrio que exagera el afán humano de libertad y provoca una crisis antropológica materializada en el principio del resultado. Con ánimo de superar ese reduccionismo, el presente artículo retoma la narrativa del don —primero social, luego moral— para enriquecerla con una propuesta trascendental. El objetivo es mostrar que, aunque el hombre es un ser necesitante, lo más radical —en cuanto ser trascendentalmente abierto y respaldado donalmente— es su capacidad donal. Este respaldo antropológico puede conducir a una renovación de la economía, capaz de abrir nuevas alternativas. ©Los autores © Universidad Pontificia Comillas ©Pensamiento.

Item type:Publication, Sobre contratos y usura en Manuel Rodríguez, el Lusitano(2016); This paper analyzes Manuel Rodríguez's work - Suma de casos de conciencia - in order to garner a greater understanding on the projection of the School of Salamanca's economic thought. The study of this author, who lived during the second half of the sixteenth century and is known as "el Lusitano," gives an insight into this School's evolution, comparing the different ways that moral theologians responded to the challenges of their time. The common elements within the School's evolution help to delineate the spirit that inspired its members over the years, and they offer clues that allow for an interpretation of contemporary economic life from a true anthropology of justice. ©2016 Cauriensia, Universidad de Extremadura1 24 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Virtue Ethics: A Contribution to Family FirmsThis chapter is an exploratory study of business ethics as it relates to family firms; it primarily aims to explore virtue ethics as an alternative proposal for the ethical concerns that family firms face in their management, thus overcoming the limitations of relevant business ethics approaches and integrating them into an overarching paradigm. Ethics can be classified into three main streams: (1) deontology, (2) utilitarianism, and (3) virtue ethics. The former two approaches have been widely used in the realm of business and family firms for many years and they tend to instrumentalize ethics for business purposes. Yet, they are mostly powerless to explain and promote the ethical concerns surrounding the family firm’s culture. Virtue ethics regained philosophical interest in the second half of the twentieth century, shifting the focus of morality from “the right thing to do” to the “best way to live.” By bringing together two consolidated research fields, family firms and virtue ethics, this chapter contributes a rich perspective to current research in both fields and opens up new ways of answering many of the cultural questions that family firms bring to the table. © 2020 Emerald Publishing Limited.Scopus© Citations 3 1 15 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
