| Abstract: | This article identifies six demoralising processes in the context of the company. These processes promote a realm of 'being-with'. The realm of 'being-for', in which individuals are supported to take increased responsibility, is marginalized. It is concluded that not only do the demoralizing processes systematically produce moral distance btw. humans weakening individual spontaneous outbursts of sympathy to take increased moral responsibility, they also promise to release individuals from their moral ambivalence by declaring organized action morally indifferent. In other words, organisational action is declared as adiaphoric, that is, beyond good and evil. |
