A firm’s common good includes workers developing skills and moral virtues
Evidence
Second, analogous to Aristotle’s notion of the political community’s common good, Sison and Fontrodona (2012, p. 212) define the common good of the firm as “the production of goods and services necessary for human flourishing.[…] The common good of the firm is the work in common that allows human beings not only to produce goods and services (the objective dimension), but more importantly, to develop technical or artistic skills and intellectual and moral virtues (the subjective dimension).” This subjective dimension is based on internal results, the knowledge and skills which are acquired by workers and managers who develop meaningful virtues and habits. — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G.
