Generalized Self-Management: The Position of Henri Lefebvre
View through CrossRef
The intention of this paper is to introduce and analyze the concept of generalized self-management with particular reference to the work of Henri Lefebvre, and to offer a definition of self-management which is contrasted with existing usages of the concept in the social and behavioral sciences. It is argued that current practices and concepts of self-management, while useful within the specific contexts in which they operate, such as industrial organizations, are limited in theoretical scope and practical applicability. What is needed is a less partial view of self-management which is generalizable to the entire social structure, and which involves a recognition of the constraints upon the exercise of self-management which operate in the wider contexts of everyday life. Finally, it is suggested that generalized selfmanagement, asLefebvre views it, would involve the transformation of the entire life of a complex society, its organizations, institutions, cultures, and classes.
