- Title
A Theological Context of Work from the Catholic Social Encyclical Tradition.
- Authors
Naughton, Michael; Laczniak, Gene R.
- Abstract
This article draws upon 100 years of writings which are referred to as the Catholic Social Tradition (CST). Using this tradition as a guide, the nature of work is explored along with the principles and virtues which vitalize the deepest dimension of work -- how it affects the dignity of the human person. It develops five operational ethical principles which can be applied to questions of workplace ethics. Organizational policies and programs that seem consistent with CST are also discussed.
