The document discusses alienation in organizations and its ramifications. It defines alienation as a disconnection or separation that leaves workers feeling worthless, insecure, useless, and empty. When workers are given tedious tasks with no rewards or consideration for their feelings, it can lead to alienation. An example is given of a Foxconn factory worker discussing the grueling work conditions and health impacts, highlighting how alienation manifests when workers lose connection to the product and meaning in their work. Addressing alienation is important for organizational behavior and improving attitudes in the workplace.
