Metaphors, organizations and water: Generating new images for environmental sustainability
Research across the social sciences and related fields has made it clear that metaphors underwrite both scientific and everyday thinking. Gareth Morgan’s work in this area, most vividly developed in his classic book Images of Organization, illustrates how metaphors underwrite thinking about organizations and the important role they can play in generating new thinking. In this study, we use and extend Morgan’s (2006) thesis of ‘organizations as in…
Workplace Autonomy
Possibility and Hope: Getting from Here to There
Pete Seeger is an environmental advocate who understands the transforming power of immersion in nature. However, his desire to restore his cherished Hudson River posed a monumental challenge in the 1960s. The Hudson River, once so majestic that it inspired the Hudson River School painters, had become a sewer for the communities and commercial industries that populated its shoreline. Seeger’s approach to reversing the degradation of the Hudson Riv…

The New Corporate Environmentalism and The Ecology of Commerce
This article identifies Paul Hawken’s The Ecology of Commerce ( TEoC) as a foundational work for scholars interested in the greening of business, sustainable enterprise, and environmental policy. TEoC was published in the early 1990s and was instrumental in launching and amplifying a social movement we refer to as the New Corporate Environmentalism (NCE). It also influenced research on organizations and the natural environment, which today is a v…

The Institutionalization of Bird Protection: Mabel Osgood Wright and the Early Audubon Movement
The purpose of this feature is to introduce activists and organizational and environmental scholars to a relatively unknown segment of the early American conservation movement. The authors focus on the period around 1900, a time in which birds were being slaughtered at an alarming rate, in part to supply milliners who used plumes and other bird parts to decorate women’s hats. These practices led to a groundswell of opposition that eventually turn…

Office folklore in the academic paperwork empire: The interstitial space of gendered (con)texts
“Office folklore,” the ubiquitous cartoons, parodies, and sayings photocopied, faxed, and displayed in millions of offices across the United States, is an expressive nexus of individual and organization, work and play, handicraft and technology. This feminist cultural critique locates office folklore in the interstices of organizational structure as cooperatively created spaces of hypochondriasis, resistance, and pleasure for organizational membe…
