“…This field of care, reflecting organizations that have a "complete commitment to that place, a commitment that is as profound as any" (Relph, 1976, p. 38) is cognitive, emotional, and affective, sometimes indistinct but with the potential, arguably, to be a powerful force in creating 'good' organizations that generate outcomes that redound to the benefit of the places in which they operate. Indeed, at the individual level of analysis, place attachment has been related to pro-environmental and sustainability behaviors (Coen and Oetama-Paul, 2013) while at the organizational level (Guthey et al, 2014;Shrivastava and Kennelly, 2013;Zaheer & Nachum, 2011) organizational sense of place has been linked to organizations paying "more attention to places as complex emergent and lived phenomena [which] may improve organizational understanding of the environment, community, and other elements important for sustainability" (Guthey et al, 2014, p. 262).…”

sense of place social acceleration organization-place relationship field of care In this conceptual paper, we analyze how social acceleration as a key phenomenon of modern societies affects the relationship between organizations and places. We identify two dimensions of how organizations relate to places: (a) embeddedness (the degree of material integration in a place) and (b) attachment (the psychic closeness, identification, or affective bonds with a place). Building on Rosa's (2003; 2013) seminal work on social acceleration, we further propose three processes (the time-space distanciation effect, the situational identity effect, and the managerial myopia effect) through which temporal changes in modern societies can lead to a loosening of ties between organizations and places. As the attachment to a place may also represent a precondition for organizations to develop a 'field of care,' the framework presented in this paper can help us develop a better understanding of the factors that influence whether organizations can develop a 'sense of place' that fosters responsible social and environmental performance that enhances the well-being of places and communities, respectively.
