Abstract

In this introductory article of the special issue ‘Experiencing communality and togetherness at work: Phenomenologies of a shared existence’, we suggest exploring the issue of sameness and differences at stake in collective activity. In a post-pandemic world of work, a weak sense of co-presence is fostered by hyper-individualization, fragmentation, liquidity, geo-political tensions and a widespread distrust of social institutions. In this context, communality is less than ever a given. In this context, we ask the following question: How can we experience communality together in collective activity while acknowledging our often profound differences? This essay and special issue address this question by investigating how sameness can be experienced in and through difference. Specifically, we do so by focusing on commons and the process of communalization as it has been explored in Management and Organization Studies. We propose a typology in which we specify four perspectives shedding light on four experiences of communality in collective activity through and beyond differences. This typology offers a lens to present the articles selected for this special issue, as well as generating implications for research and education in Management and Organization Studies.

在集体活动中体验共性：在差异中产生同一性的四种方法

在这篇题为 "体验工作中的共性和团结：共同存在的现象学 "一文中，我们建议探讨集体活动中的同一性和差异性问题。在后流行病时代的工作环境中，超个人化、碎片化、流动性、地缘政治紧张局势以及对社会机构的普遍不信任，都助长了共同存在感的薄弱。在这种情况下，共存性不再是必然的。在此背景下，我们提出以下问题：我们如何才能在集体活动中共同体验社区性，同时承认我们之间往往存在的深刻差异？这篇文章和这期特刊通过研究如何在差异中以及通过差异来体验同一性来探讨这个问题。具体来说，我们将重点放在公地以及管理与组织研究中探讨的公地化过程。我们提出了一种类型学，从四个角度阐明了集体活动中通过和超越差异的四种共同性体验。这种类型学为介绍本特刊所选文章提供了一个视角，并对管理与组织研究的研究和教育产生了影响。
