The big five and organizational virtue

Article Abstract:

Previous studies have established that individuals have five central character traits, which are contained in the Five Factor Model (FFM) and colloquially called the 'The Big Five.' These include that traits of extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness. Using the philosophies of three great virtue ethicists, namely, Aquinas, David Hume and Aristotle, the FFM traits were evaluated to determine the traits that can be considered organizational virtue. Results indicate that conscientiousness and agreeableness are organizational virtues.

Article Abstract:

The Frick Collection held its Victorian Faerie Gala with the presence of the media, a major change from the private-oriented museum. The board realizes that it has to begin to promote itself to raise funds for its operations, despite its extensive endowment. The Frick director, Samuel Sachs II, has been working to encourage the board to accept the reality of art museum fundraising. A seat on the Frick board is one of the highest social-status prizes in New York City.

The discourse of control

Article Abstract:

The description of management and organization within the traditional framework of organizational control is challenged as an appropriate discourse. The traditional discourse of control treats workers as objects and denies them their moral agency. It also is inimical to the concept of reciprocity which is a fundamental condition of moral organizations. An alternative discourse, one based on accountability, is hereby suggested.
