Abstract

International audience; In a context where organizations group together and organize collective action to address the new challenges (economic, social and environmental) which stem from globalization (König et al.2012; Berkowitz & Dumez, 2016), a new area of enquiry has appeared in management studies to explore new forms of organization known as meta-organizations (Ahrne & Brunsson 2005; Ahrne & Brunsson 2008). This study aims to to understand how a collective vision is constructed within a meta- organization and what unites its members, in other terms the “dynamics of its composition” (Cropper & Bor, 2018) with regards to the tension between interests (organizational and individual) and disinterestedness. Starting from the point of view of Levinas, the present article attempts to address this question by re-examining the place of the individual in the dynamics of the meta-organization.

Abstract

Although most ethics development programs favor cognitive, individual, and top-down approaches, our article discusses, using the illustrative example of Volvo Group’s CreaLab, the cohabitation of multiples ethical discourses in organizations and implications for human resource development (HRD). We introduce the concept of the ethics of serendipity resulting from the ongoing dialogue and confrontation between three ethical discourses that we came up with building on Levinas’ work: The Being I discourse, the Being with discourse, and the discourse of the Call of the Other. The ethics of serendipity, thus, appear as a compromise that results from dissatisfaction with the traditional power dynamics of the Being I discourse, the desire to do something together illustrated in the Being with discourse, and the irresistible Call of the Other. Overall, this article answers a call for more social and experiential approaches to ethics in HRD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
