Against dolorism in management sciences: Musil and the scholar’s smile
Type de matériel :

The invitation to produce “research that breaks your heart” (Morales 2023) calls for a discussion on this vision of research oriented by suffering, which I describe as infused with “dolorism.” Based on suffering, but also on humanity, strong emotions, the body, vulnerability, and compassion, this vision has negative consequences for research. I contrast the image of today’s researchers with “broken hearts” with the portrait of scholars “smiling into their beard,” as drawn by Robert Musil in The Man Without Qualities almost a century ago.
