| This unusual
and thought-provoking work questions current mainstream
approaches to organizational psychology. Grounded in
organizational symbolism, the author depicts the potential
meaning of work in the broader context of life and death.
Thus Siever's book is a fundamental critique of motivation,
participation and leadership research.
With human
mortality in mind, organization and management appear
in a different light: motivation as a surrogate for
meaning, participation and management as a quarrel
about immortality, and leadership as a perpetuation
of immaturity. Sievers advocates a "management
of wisdom".
