Productivity and the economic pastoral: Implications for growth
Journal of Business Ethics · 1988 · Volume 7 · Issue 6
Abstract
This paper identifies the fundamental principles and ethical norms presented in the first draft of theU.S. Bishops' Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economywhich apply to the issue of economic productivity. These principles are compared with accepted managerial principles for improving productivity and the similarities noted. Finally, the new challenge of the Economic Pastoral is identified as extending the scope of application of these principles beyond those persons who are working in an enterprise to those persons who are affected by the enterprise.
