The Covid-19 pandemic sparked a latent desire for a more balanced, more meaningful and freer approach to work for millions of employees throughout the world. Growing interest in responsible business, in addition to the influence of the UN SDGs and inclusive growth, have also in many ways shifted the balance of power – or at least choice – to the employee. Sensitive to work-life balance, aware of the effects of overwork and short-term profit seeking, seeking meaning in their companies and jobs, employee demands have placed a huge strain on corporations caught between keeping to traditional ways of control and performance objectives though aware of the need to retain talent and create flexible solutions in order to reach their financial and production goals.

In this book, leading academics, researchers, and practitioners in the field of CSR, management, leadership, and human resources from the 12 schools and corporate partners of the Council on Business & Society offer their latest cutting-edge research to explore how both employees and their organisations can reach win–win agreement in the working relationship. Meaning and mission are covered, as well as spirituality and purpose. Negative workplace practices leading to employee mental and physical illness are explored and ways to avoid these, with several positive approaches to employee commitment and wellbeing offered. Each insight is accompanied by key takeaways and food for thought sections, with each chapter featuring a micro-case study.

Drawing on high-level research and transformed into engaging and accessible content, this book is written for students and scholars wishing to deepen their knowledge of the employee–leadership–workplace environment dimension, instructors seeking insight and learning content, and for professionals aiming to deepen their understanding of managing in the post-pandemic era.

This volume embarks on a research journey that focuses on the processes of economic and social value creation in the 21st century. Given that value creation is increasingly organized in networks consisting of businesses, governments, academia, civil society, and other societal stakeholders, the contributions address various aspects of and challenges in governing cooperation in value-creating networks. Exploring topics such as relational rationality, cultural complexity, shared value creation, and relational contracts, this book reveals the mechanisms and processes involved in governing the complexities of inter-sectoral relationships in a networked society. Given its scope and focus, this book will appeal to scholars of economics, economic sociology, organizational studies, and related fields.
