Abstract
Reflective narratives from an organizational
actor’s everyday life sometimes
render insights into what constituted
his immediate milieu and what
constituents contributed to his general
well-being. Also, unique functional
models of organizations generate
scholastic interest as some strike a
balance among the interests of the individual,
his desire for some sense of
freedom and his acceptance of the diversity
of others. A structural understanding
of such an organization often
brings into the foray the potential
length and breadth of embeddedness
of the organizational culture vis-a-vis
the socio-economic canvass of the
actors who continuously interact with
this system. An investigation into the
functioning of a worker cooperative
society revealed some remarkable inferences
on a seemingly intangible
theme ‘dignity’. This case study research
mapped the journey of the
worker along with the business evolution
of the enterprise.
