Interpreting the maternal organisation

"Since the 1980s, there has been an increasing interest in emotion in organizations, in diversity, ethics, care and the ubiquitous pursuit of quality. These concerns, however, have consistently been reduced to issues of management and regulation.; In this work, the contributors argue that conventional representations of the organization are patriarchal, masculine and directed towards the animus. By contrast, they seek to restore the maternal aspects of organization."
