(Gond et al. 2017)

Article Gond et al., 2017
 CSR
 focus on individual employee
 individual perception of CSR initiatives

Systematic literature review = analysis/inspection of already published research

Corporate social responsibility (CSR): context-specific organizational actions and policies
that take into account stakeholders’ expectations and the triple bottom line of economic,
social and environmental performance

 Lecture 2 – managerial views of work (chapter 1 & 3)

Chapter 1 (Setting the scene)

Globalization  gradual connection between different societies
 global circulation of good, services and capital: information, ideas and
people

Good side to globalization
- access to larger markets
- upscaling of organizations
- access to capital flows, technology, human capital
- cheaper imports & larger export markets

Downside to globalization
- Loss of cultural heritage (offering international brands competing by local brands)
e.g. Douwe Egberts taken over by Starbucks
- Loss of traditional ways of working
- Pollution
- Urbanization
- Power at large
- Same-ness of production (products look the same)
- Long and invisible supply chain (invisible chain from start to end of the product)
Not visible to see who is working in this process. E.g. slavery

, Human trafficking: the supply of human beings for prostitution, sweat shop labor, street
begging, domestic work, agricultural work and other forms of exploitative labor of services.

Youtube: Modern day slavery – supply chains

Social mobility: changes of people from different social backgrounds moving into a given
social class
 one main reason for a lack of social mobility: expenses of hinger education

Low social mobility  hard for people in lower classes to move to upper classes
High social mobility  easier for people in lower classes to move to upper classes by, for
example, go to school etc.
- Better use of human resources
Society based on talents etc. rather than background (parents’ income)

Behavior in organization is dependent on:
- The worker: age, class, status, power, gender, race, religion etc.
- The conditions: type of job, type of contract, part-time, home working
- The wider context: unemployment, aging, social mobility, industry, culture etc.

Theory  deduction  practice  induction

Job segregation = one of the reasons for inequality  jobs tend to be seen as either ‘male’
or ‘female’ jobs
Job sharing = a way of sharing heavy management responsibilities. Splitting a full time job
between two people

Chapter 3

Management: mental work (thinking, intuiting, feeling) performed by people in an
organizational context. A position above foreman and above first-level supervision

Managers  what do they do?
- Discussion
- Change between tasks, without finishing
- Managers are reacting rather than proactive (planning)
- Managing is a continuous battle with power and respect
Managers Leaders
- Responsible - In charge
- Monitoring organization’s steady - Complex problems
state
- Fixing problems as they arise - Visionary / heroic
- Maintaining stability
