| Abstract: | Much has been written about the general moral duty to love one's neighbors. In this article, I explore the specific application of this moral duty in the work setting. I argue from a secular perspective that individuals have the moral duty to love their stakeholders. Loving one's stakeholders is an affective valuing of the stake-related values these stakeholders pursue and as such is the real recognition of one's stakeholders as stakeholders and of oneself as a stakeholder of one's stakeholders. This moral concept of stakeholder love offers promising contributions to stakeholder theory, leadership theories, and ethical theories in general and business ethics theories in particular.
