摘要

本文以替代性食品倡议(AFIs)为例,探讨了 "好工作 "作为以目的为导向的组织活动对社会产生的积极影响。另类食品倡议 "采用另类的食品生产和消费方式,以应对全球紧迫的可持续发展挑战。考虑到工人产生/维持替代性和精神性工作/组织环境的动机、信念的中心地位,本研究通过个人层面的视角,为有关替代性食品倡议和工作场所精神性(WS)的知识搭建了桥梁。本文探讨了全职太太机构成员的工作动机和经验,以了解这些人如何理解他们的工作,并就这一组织领域中的 "好工作 "提出见解。研究分两个阶段进行,共收集了 28 名苏格兰格拉斯哥组织成员的数据。研究结果表明,AFI 成员的工作动力包括精神动机(作为关注他人的动机),他们认为工作的价值在于通过归属、自由和关爱的工作空间为他人的福祉做出贡献。研究结果表明,WS 视角有助于理解 AFI 成员如何开展工作以创造(更大的)善。本文借鉴了在 AFI 背景下进行的案例分析所得出的经验教训,强调了 WS 对于重新确定工作和组织目的的相关性。

‘Good Work’ and Alternative Food Initiatives: A Workplace Spirituality Perspective

‘Good Work’ and Alternative Food Initiatives: A Workplace Spirituality Perspective

This paper explores ‘good work’ as purpose-driven organizing for positive social impact in the case of alternative food initiatives (AFIs). AFIs accommodate alternative ways of food production and consumption that tackle the world's pressing sustainability challenges. Considering the centrality of workers’ motives, beliefs for generating/sustaining alternative and spiritual work/organizational contexts, this study bridges the knowledge on AFIs and workplace spirituality (WS) through the individual-level perspective. The paper explores AFI members’ workplace motives and experiences to understand how these individuals make sense of their work, and to draw insights on what ‘good work’ entails in this organizational realm. Data were collected via a two-phase study from a total of 28 members of organizations based in Glasgow, Scotland. The results show that AFI members’ work drivers include spiritual (as other-regarding) motives and that the perceived value of their work is in contributing to the welfare of others through a workspace of belonging, freedom and care. The findings suggest that a WS perspective can help in understanding how AFI members approach their work to create (greater) good. Drawing on the lessons from the case analysis within the AFI context, this paper highlights the relevance of WS for repurposing work and organizing.
