Abstract(s)
Purpose – to highlight the controversial and potentially rich dilemmas of contemporaneity in
organizational settings, including the context of the knowledge economy, the need to promote
knowledge management, the structuring role of organizational learning, and the enabling and powerful
framing, which emerges from the ethical, gender and citizenship dimensions.
Design – an exploratory theoretical inquiry, which acknowledges the importance of capturing the
philosophical argumentation behind different epistemic options and schools of thought, including the
possibility to understand the empowering potential of concepts such as social innovation.
Findings – the acknowledgement of the role of signification is highlighted in a crucial way: according
to the social tradition perspective, there are two central items that illustrate the process through which
meaning-making emerges spontaneously in human spheres of action, the first one is language use and
the second one is the participation in social practices.
Practical Implications – ethics, gender and citizenship are direct entry spaces for the understanding of
the complexity of how humans organise themselves and create and share knowledge in order to
optimise their action.
Originality – the full power of human thought and action is achieved when there is enough individual
and social motivational alignment in order to promote the best options available; such options do
emerge and succeed as a matter-of-fact evidence of the creative and interpretative capacity, which
finds in organisations one of the best instances for such human development.
