Responsible managing as educational practice

Organization Management Journal, 2022, vol. 19, issue 4, 155-166

Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to theoretically introduce the notion of responsible managing as educational practice (RMEP). Design/methodology/approach - The study is an essay. Traditionally assumed as individual-driven, rational, neutral and unproblematic, the author alternatively considers management not as managerialism but as a social practice that needs to be responsible. Findings - The author posits that responsible management involves educational experiences enacted through practical wisdom. In this context, education herein is understood not as a scholastic practice taught in business schools or offered within professional training, but that may occur in informal contexts such as managing. Originality/value - RMEP may contribute to a better comprehension of responsible management in practice. The author draws on the epistemology of practices and the notion of phronesis to support his thesis – that managing can be responsible when assumed as an educative practice performed through practical wisdom and people’s mutual education.
