Question One: The Fate of the ‘Common Moral Purpose’ Phrase I believe that the term used by Barnard on common moral purpose is not a good way of describing organizations (Scott & Davis 2015).Work can never be moral but rather morally neutral; this is because the rules and policies established in organizations are never meant to favor a particular group of employees but to help an organization achieve its goals and visions. Secondly, describing organizations as moral may limit the growth and progress of organizations as there may be assumptions the organizations are better yet there may be a need to improve. On the contrary, the term moral purpose in an organizational content should not apply to the organization management structure but to the relationship among staff. The sense of bonding power between employees and organization administrators during work may be a great determinant to the creation of powerful and positive social function.Organizations can never be judged based on common moral purpose but rather on its independent structure of management in understanding human motivation (Burke 2017). Essentially, employees are more social than economic beings that require several needs. The work environment is, therefore, a great influence on employees' performance. Morality in the organization is affected by the relationship between organization management structure, the employees, and the clients. Finally, the control structures keep changing depending on global growths. Organizations can therefore not be embedded on common moral purpose but a neutral moral purpose. The neutral moral purpose of managing organizations is more flexible as it can quickly adapt to changes within the organization such as technological changes unlike the common moral purpose is based on rigidity.2
