Abstract

We uncover fundamental dimensions of the process through which organizations embed the practice of fraternity through embarking on an organizational journey in the direction of the common good. Building on the latest encyclical of Pope Francis, Fratelli Tutti, about fraternal and social friendship, we offer insight into the understanding of what it means to become a fraternal organization and reflect on the key ethical and paradoxical challenges for organizations aiming at collectively contributing to the common good. We add to previous work by characterizing this journey as a process involving unique ethical challenges that emerge from the paradoxes associated with this process and how this might change the nature of the relationships between organizations and others within the organizational landscape.

Fußnoten
1
Indeed, The Economist (2014) did Pope Francis justice by acknowledging that he “does not pretend either to be an academic philosopher, political scientist, or economist; he is a more intuitive figure, and his intuitions are often sound (…) Francis may not be offering all the right answers, or getting the diagnosis exactly right, but he is asking the right questions. Like a little boy who observes the emperor's nakedness”.

Another example is The Council for Inclusive Capitalism, “a movement of the world’s business and public sector leaders who are working to build a more inclusive, sustainable, and trusted economic system” (https://​www.​inclusivecapital​ism.​com/​). It illustrates the search for solutions toward the common good. Allegedly, the coalition’s leaders had taken up the challenge of making capitalism a “more inclusive instrument for integral human wellbeing” (Pope Francis, in Edgecliffe-Johnson 2020, p. 6).
