"Organizational dehumanization"

by Stinglhamber, Florence; Caesens, Gaëtane (2024)

Abstract

Organizational dehumanization refers to employees’ perceptions that their organization reduces them to mere tools or instruments at its service. Since its emergence in the literature, the construct has generated a burgeoning number of empirical studies. The objectives pursued through this entry are multiple. After presenting the historical background within which organizational dehumanization is embedded and its definition, we will briefly discuss the operationalization of organizational dehumanization. In the next section, we will describe its nomological network, in terms of antecedents and consequences but also moderators and underlying mechanisms. Finally, we will provide some perspectives for future research.
