Abstract

Working objectification, viewing workers as instruments and lacking human qualities, is prevalent in the workplace. Workers may also internalise it and objectify themselves. Based on evidence that self-objectification serves as a system justifying device that undermines feminist activism, this study examines whether workers' self-objectification leads to economic system justification.
