- Title
Dignity and Decency: Personal Integrity and Decent Institutions.
- Authors
Sedmak, Clemens
- Abstract
The article looks at the culture of human dignity in hospitals through the lens of custodians. By making use of four categories ("job crafting," "moral access," "interior moral anchoring" and "supported integrity") the article develops the concept of decent institutions as institutions that do not humiliate human persons. A culture of human dignity within the context of institutions requires proper attention to "entry points for humiliation" of which there are quite a few in a hospital setting.
