The purpose of this proposed PDW is to facilitate a conversation about the role of values in contemporary organizational studies. This conversation aims to: a) highlight the current dearth of theoretical attention to values; b) understand the reasons for this inattention; c) identify ways in which values can be “reinfused” into the contemporary theoretical conversation (across different areas); and d) discuss the benefits (and potential costs) that might be realized from a renewed/increased attention to values within organizational theory. The rationale for facilitating this conversation is multifaceted, explicitly pluralistic. We elaborate on each of these reasons as well discuss how this conversation is structured to benefit potential participants from multiple groups within the AOM community in this proposal.
