This dissertation aims to contribute to a better theoretical understanding of common good orientation in an organizational context, its measurability, and effects on an individual, organizational and social level. Specifically, this dissertation theoretically discusses and empirically tests what common good orientation encompasses in an organizational context, why it is valuable for individuals, organizations and societies alike, as well how it could be implemented in organizational leadership practices. While building on the findings of Meynhardt's (2009, 2015) Public Value research, this dissertation mainly seeks to lay the empirical and theoretical foundations surrounding the hitherto poorly researched concept of Organizational Purpose. Despite the popularity of organizational purpose, no agreement has yet been reached on the definition of the construct, which has
hampered further theoretical development and empirical testing. This cumulative dissertation consists of three empirical papers and an introductory conceptual paper.
