Uneconomic relations: The dark side of interpersonal interactions in organizations

A Hebrew-language volume tracing the dark side of interpersonal interactions in contemporary organizations. Workplace incivility — a term the book foregrounds in its English form on the back cover — sits at the centre of the account, alongside power abuse and the relational harms that accompany the changing pace of modern work. The title turns on a single-letter Hebrew swap — כ for ק — that is inaudible in modern pronunciation: כלכלת יחסים ("the economy of relationships") and קלקלת יחסים ("the ruining of relationships") are near-homophones. The book argues that the two are not separable: what an organization ruins, relationally, is part of what it produces.
