Introduction
Aims and Scopes

The journal focuses on the application of various philosophical traditions—including Aristotelian, Hegelian, and Stoic philosophies—to understand and critique management practices, emphasizing the importance of ethics and moral reasoning in organizational contexts. - Exploration of Meaningful Work:
A significant area of inquiry is the concept of meaningful work and its implications for management. The journal examines how recognition, autonomy, and ethical practices contribute to a fulfilling work environment. - Critical Management Studies:
It engages with critical management studies by questioning dominant paradigms and power structures within organizations. This includes discussions on corporate governance, stakeholder theory, and the ethics of managerial practices. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
The journal encourages interdisciplinary research that combines insights from philosophy, sociology, economics, and political theory to address complex management challenges and promote innovative solutions. - Sustainability and Ecological Management:
There is a strong emphasis on sustainability, exploring how philosophical perspectives can inform practices that align with environmental ethics and corporate social responsibility.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Transformation and Ethics:
There is an increasing focus on the ethical implications of digital technologies in management. This includes discussions on self-consciousness in work relationships, the impact of technology on managerial practices, and the moral responsibilities of organizations in a digital age. - Resilience and Adaptability:
Emerging themes emphasize organizational resilience through philosophical lenses, particularly in relation to adapting to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This reflects a growing interest in how philosophical insights can inform strategies for navigating uncertainty. - Recognition and Identity in Organizations:
The exploration of recognition and identity within organizational settings is gaining traction. Recent papers address how these concepts influence employee engagement, autonomy, and the ethical dimensions of leadership. - Philosophical Methods in Management Research:
There is a trend towards incorporating philosophical methods into management research, indicating a desire for deeper analytical frameworks that challenge conventional management practices and encourage critical thinking. - Intersections of Philosophy and Social Justice:
The journal is increasingly addressing themes related to social justice in management, examining how philosophical perspectives can inform ethical practices and promote equity within organizations.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Management Theories:
There is a noticeable decline in papers that focus on traditional management theories without a philosophical lens. The journal seems to be moving away from conventional business management frameworks in favor of more critical and reflective approaches. - Narrow Economic Perspectives:
Topics that primarily emphasize economic efficiency or profit maximization without addressing ethical implications are less frequently explored. This suggests a waning interest in purely economic analyses of management. - Behavioral Management Approaches:
Papers focusing solely on behavioral management theories, such as those that do not incorporate philosophical critique or ethical considerations, appear to be decreasing. This reflects a broader trend towards integrating philosophical and ethical dimensions in understanding management practices.
