"The organization of work influences people's ability to live together and shapes citizens' perception of society. In a world constantly changing due to new technologies, German philosopher and social scientist Lisa Herzog asks what it means to act ethically while working as just one part of public or private organizations. Standing at the intersection of political philosophy and economic thought, Herzog has studied various free-market thinkers (from Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel to Adam Smith) and analyzed the ethics of the financial sector."
"In her work, Herzog proposes that employees themselves should organize their work environment because they know it best. She advocates for making paid work more democratic at a time when education, training, or motivation no longer guarantee a decent job or salary. And she addresses the fear many have of being controlled or pushed around by algorithms designed to maximize efficiency."
The organization of work influences people's ability to live together and shapes citizens' perception of society. Rapid technological change raises ethical questions about acting while working as part of public or private organizations. Political philosophy and economic thought inform analyses of free-market thinkers and the ethics of the financial sector. Fieldwork connects abstract ideas to real-life work conditions. Employees themselves should organize their work environments because they best understand those settings. Paid work should become more democratic as education, training, or motivation no longer guarantee decent jobs or salaries. Concern about algorithmic control and efficiency-driven management undermines worker autonomy and collective cohesion.
