“…The verdict is therefore grim: any “defensible approach to Critical Theory has to be open to forms of radical critique and normative revolution,” and Honneth's intervention fails not only to retain such openness but also fails to “account for why abandoning [such ends] does not amount to a shortcoming” (Schaub, , p. 127). Fabian Freyenhagen echoes this concern, seeing in normative reconstruction a deep methodological shortcoming infecting Honneth's earlier writings as well and resulting ultimately in an “increasing reformism” in the development of his work (Freyenhagen, , p. 131).…”

“…Na trilha de Adam Smith, Émile Durkheim e John Dewey, ele atribui a estas esferas papéis fundamentalmente positivos, ainda que permanentemente ameaçados por desenvolvimentos patológicos. Esta perspectiva, porém, motiva seus críticos a afirmarem que na reconstrução dos princípios normativos da modernidade, particularmente da economia de mercado, ele teria se afastado do comprometimento crítico com a transformação da ordem social existente (Freyenhagen, 2015;Schaub, 2015). É em resposta a estas objeções que Honneth formula um estudo complementar a O direito da liberdade.…”

The paper begins by exposing Honneth's model as a theory of institutional intersubjectivity rather than a theory of the struggle for recognition. This model, however, was subject of criticism due to its supposedly acceptance of the social order of capitalistic market economy. In order to defend it from such objections, Honneth (2016) exposes the normative core of the socialist ideals as a version of social freedom. Finally, he presents a distinction between two forms of political intervention: an internal and an external struggle for recognition -and asserts the advantages of the former.

“…Although Honneth's broadercritique of capitalism is contentious (e.g. Freyenhagen ; Jütten ), his analytical framework does provide a basis for normatively critiquing systemic economic forces that harm subjective self relations (e.g. Hartmann and Honneth, ).…”

How Does Performance Management Affect Workers? Beyond Human Resource Management and Its Critique

While performance management (PM) is pervasive across contemporary workplaces, extant research into how performance management affects workers is often indirect or scattered across disciplinary silos. This paper reviews and synthesizes this research, identifies key gaps and explores ‘recognition theory’ as a nascent framework that can further develop this important body of knowledge. The paper develops in three main stages. The first stage reviews ‘mainstream’ human resource management (HRM) research. While this research analyses workers’ reactions to performance management in some depth, its focus on serving organizational goals marginalizes extra‐organizational impacts. The second stage reviews more critical HRM research, which interprets performance management as a disciplinary, coercive or inequitable management device. While this literature adds an important focus on organizational power, there is scope to analyse further how PM affects workers’ well‐being. To develop this strand of PM research, the third stage turns to the emerging field of recognition theory independently developed by Axel Honneth and Christophe Dejours. The authors focus especially on recognition theory's exploration of how (in)adequate acknowledgement of workers’ contributions can significantly affect their well‐being at the level of self‐conception. Although recognition theory is inherently critical, the paper argues that it can advance both mainstream and critical performance management research, and also inform broader inquiry into recognition and identity at work.
