Relative to the private sector, the public sector has always had a greater demand for scientific research in its running and decision making and, more recently, there has been a significant increase in the demand for research on humanism and ethics more broadly. In response, this book seeks to analyse the public sector through the lens of humanistic management, referring to its three-stepped approach respect for human dignity, ethical reflection and decision-making, and stakeholder engagement. The establishment of a humanistic approach in the public sector should be a launchpad for humanistic transformation in businesses and in other organisations.
With contributors and research from around the globe, this book explores topics such as the work-family balance, collective leadership, the COVID pandemic, environmental issues and public entrepreneurship. It will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of business ethics, public management theory and practice, public management history and human resource management.
