| Tiivistelmä: | The belief that teamwork is a "natural" form of work organization that satisfies universal human needs such as social affiliation and self-actualization is challenged in this article. A corollary of this belief - that teamwork is a morally superior form of work organization - unnecessarily restricts debate about the desirability and usefulness of teams because any criticism comes to be seen as a denial of our essential humanity. An approach inspired by Foucault's concept of "care of the self" is used to propose a practical ethics of teamwork that allows us to appreciate the moral ambiguities of teamwork. |
