(2001): Dignity at work. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press
Abstract: Four faces of working with dignity -- Toward a theory of dignity -- Measuring the subtle realms of work -- Deflecting abuse and mismanagement -- Avoiding overwork -- Defending autonomy -- Negotiating employee involvement -- Coworkers, for better or worse -- Worker dignity and well-being -- Dignity, agency, and the future of work Human dignity, the ability to establish a sense of self-worth and self-respect and to enjoy the respect of others, is necessary for a fully realized life.

Defending dignity and realizing self-respect through work are key to workers' well-being; insuring the dignity of employees is equally important for organizations as they attempt to make effective use of their human capital.
