What is humane work? What does such work look like in a business context? This paper articulates two ways of thinking about humane work using an Aristotelian and a Confucian virtue ethics approach. This approach reveals the need to think about (1) work's connection not merely with autonomy but with self-refinement and self-perfection, with craft, and with the production of genuinely good goods; (2) possible dangers (e.g., the risk of generating envy) of focusing too much on pay issues in connection with humane work; (3) the relation between humane work and political regimes; and (4) the role played by stakeholders other than managers in the humanizing of work.
什么是人道的工作？在商业背景下，这样的工作是什么样的？本文运用亚里士多德和儒家的德性伦理学方法，阐述了两种思考人道工作的方式。这种方法揭示了需要思考：（1）工作不仅与自主性相关，还与自我完善、自我提升、技艺以及真正优质产品的生产相关；（2）在人道工作中，过度关注薪酬问题可能带来的危险（例如产生嫉妒的风险）；（3）人道工作与政治制度之间的关系；以及（4）管理者以外的利益相关者在工作人性化过程中所起的作用。
