| The vision of the Academy of Management (AOM) is to "inspire and enable a better world through our scholarship and teaching about management and organizations." This PDW is an expression of this vision and the 2017 AOM Annual Meeting theme "At the Interface" by gathering thought leading scholars across management disciplines to share ideas and provocations about how organizations and organizational members can become part of the solution to the social, environmental, political, and economic crises facing humanity today. A humanistic perspective of management (Pirson & Turnbull, 2011; Pirson & Lawrence, 2010; Spitzeck, Pirson, Amann, Khan, & Kimakowitz, 2009) involves developing new and impactful insights to manage well-being at the interface of purpose, value, functions, and practices of business in interaction with a range of stakeholders and the planet itself. The goal of this workshop is to generate solution-building paradigmatic bridges by engaging interdisciplinary conversation and strengthening ongoing cross- disciplinary work related to a diversity of ideas, including: dignity, wisdom, sustainability, positive organizational scholarship, transformational leadership, spirituality, Eastern philosophy, mindfulness, authenticity, compassion, caring, ethics, behavioral governance, social responsibility, benevolence, democracy, human capital, and organizational change. Inspired by resources spanning from current organizing theories and practices to ancient spiritual traditions and philosophies, this PDW is designed to seed and propagate dialog, research initiatives, and teaching efficacy linked to eliciting, leveraging, and amplifying humanistic practices in organizing. Introductory remarks by thought leading panelists, followed by audience rotations among facilitated roundtable discussions, will provoke novel thinking, energize problem-solving, advance scholarship, and support teaching across AOM divisions for the well-being and betterment of humanity. |
