Great Resignation, workplace values, formal axiologyAbstract
This paper analyzes the recent phenomenon in business that has become known as the “Great Resignation” from the perspective of formal axiology. In doing so, this article challenges many of the prevailing theories of business that guide our practice today and it encourages readers to embrace what Hartman referred to as the coming Third Stage of Capitalism.References
