“…A review of scholarly literature relating to the concept of virtuousness (including the terms ''virtues,'' ''civic virtues,'' ''moral virtues,'' and ''virtue ethics'') reveals that little agreement exists regarding its definition and attributes (Cameron and Winn 2012). Most articles focus on the debate about whether or not virtuousness actually exists (Alzola 2008;Wright and Goodstein 2007;Weaver 2006;Whetstone 2003), on the development of virtue in societies (Moore and Beadle 2006;Nielsen 2006), or on the definition of the term (Fowers 2009;Moberg 1999;Rachels 1999).…”

“…Responsible leadership using the fourth connotation does not assume that more suitable outcomes are needed in order for virtuous action or virtuous decisions to be taken. Rather, responsible leadership in this sense is characterized by three core assumptions-a eudaemonic assumption, an inherent value assumption, and an amplification assumption (Bright et al 2006;Cameron and Winn 2012).…”

“…This also explains why virtuousness is highly prized and admired, and why virtuous individuals are almost universally revered, emulated, and even sainted. They help perpetuate the human species (Cameron and Winn 2012). Miller (2007) pointed out, for example, that a selective genetic bias for human moral virtuousness exists.…”

“…Of course, what is considered good is often controversial, 2 but one term that connotes universal standards of rightness, correctness, and goodness is the concept of virtuousness (Cameron and Winn 2012;Cameron et al 2011). This concept is a universally accepted standard for the best of the human condition (Comte-Sponville 2001; Dutton and Sonenshein 2007;Peterson and Seligman 2004).…”

“…Quando adotadas coletivamente, as virtudes transformam-se em qualidades da organização e ajudam a desenvolver o músculo moral da mesma (Cameron & Winn, 2012). As virtudes são, pois, hábitos que se expressam na ação de uma forma autêntica e convicta.…”

O termo "virtudes" andou arredado do léxico organizacional. Todavia, mais recentemente, uma vaga de interesse motivada por escândalos no mundo empresarial (particularmente no setor financeiro) trouxe as virtudes para o centro do palco. Neste artigo, discutimos a noção de virtude, apresentamos um quarteto de perspetivas complementares sobre a virtude enquanto processo organizacional, e discutimos formas possíveis de estimular a prática organizacional virtuosa numa perspetiva de comportamento organizacional.Palavras-chave: Organizações, Virtudes, Ética organizacional. Introdução "Para a virtude da discrição, ou de modo geral qualquer virtude, aparecer em seu fulgor, é necessário que faltemos à sua prática"Carlos Drummond de AndradeAs organizações modernas, com destaque para as empresas, são uma das mais admiráveis forças de progresso social. Criam soluções que tornam a vida mais confortável, respondem a necessidades humanas fundamentais, e deliciam os consumidores com produtos desejáveis. Mas essas mesmas forças de progresso podem transformar-se em máquinas de destruição. Não apenas de "destruição de valor" mas também de destruição de valores e de confiança na economia e na sociedade. Algumas empresas e respetivos líderes têm um lado negro expresso de forma particularmente saliente nos comportamentos de liderança hubrísticos (Bollaert & Petit, 2010;Tett, 2014), no abuso, quando não na exploração do trabalho humano (Crane, 2013), e numa reveladora falta de amor ao próximo, mesmo que o próximo seja o colega do lado . Em síntese: algumas empresas, no estrangeiro e em Portugal, têm oferecido deploráveis espetáculos de falta de escrúpulo ético, ou mesmo uma carência do mais elementar bom senso. O sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman resume o processo de forma lapidar, notando que a parceria entre organização e moralidade não tem sido pacífica (Bauman, 2014).Felizmente, outras empresas, como a Unilever, assumiram o explícito desafio de serem organizações virtuosas (The Economist, 2014). No mundo académico, autores como Crossan, Mazutis e Seijts (2013) têm defendido a necessidade de incorporar as virtudes nos modelos de tomada de decisão gestionária. Não surpreende, por isso, que o tema das virtudes tenha reencontrado um lugar honroso na moderna teoria de gestão (e.g., Cameron, 2011; Crossan et al., 349A correspondência relativa a este artigo deverá ser enviada para:

How Positive and Neo‐Aristotelian Leadership Can Contribute to Ethical Leadership

2018

Virtuous leadership is crucial for advancing leadership ethics. By comparing Positive Leadership and its notion of virtuousness with neo‐Aristotelian leadership based on virtue, this article sheds light on this research field. We expound on the differences and commonalities between the two and present possibilities of how they can enrich each other and further ethical leadership theory. Our findings concern the purported Aristotelian roots of virtuousness, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the positive and the neo‐Aristotelian approaches, and the interplay between technical skills and ethical excellence in leadership. We propose the adoption of practical managerial tools and procedures from Positive Leadership, making them dependent upon the virtues to achieve flourishing within organizations and society at large. © 2018 ASAC.
