Abstract: | In this article, six demoralising processes in the context of the company are identified. These processes promote a realm
of ‘being-with’, in which outcomes of human interaction are evaluated on rational grounds, and on whether or not a particular
action accorded with stipulated ethical rules. Thereby the realm of ‘being-for’, in which individuals are supported to take
increased responsibility, is marginalized. The conclusion made is that not only do the demoralizing processes systematically
produce moral distance between humans, which weakens individual spontaneous outbursts of sympathy to take increased moral
responsibility, they also promise to release individuals from their moral ambivalence by declaring organised action morally
indifferent. Organisational action is, in other words, declared as adiaphoric – beyond good and evil. |
