Frame of the research: In recent years, literature has demonstrated the importance of interpersonal dimensions in economic and managerial decisions. Thus, relational goods emerge as pivotal to fostering sustainability practices for organizational transformation. Purpose of the paper: This paper aims to study the function of relational goods in transformational practices to foster (organizational) wellbeing. Methodology: We analyzed the Economy of Francesco (EoF) movement to study what elements generate cooperative choices for the common good when relational goods are consumed. We conducted a pilot study, in-depth interviews, data triangulation, and coding utilizing the Gioia Methodology. Findings: We found emerging themes such as Co-Creation and Collaboration, Non-violent Communication, Suspending Judgment and Embracing Diversity, For-Purpose Business, Authenticity and Self-Awareness, Connectors and Innovators, Vulnerability and Decision-Making Procedures, Focusing on Solutions that are pivotal to enhance relational goods and thus wellbeing. Research limits: Since data was collected from a very specific sample, we obtained qualitatively significant data for all variables, but we are aware that this can be very subjective. Going forward, researchers should include a larger sample to have a broader picture and better generalization. Practical implications: We investigate what key elements should incorporate and underpin the consumption of relational goods into organizational practices to transform traditional hierarchical structures into collaborative environments, enhance employee satisfaction, and promote ethical decision-making to foster transformation and challenge the status quo. Originality of the paper: This paper is the first to focus on the Economy of Francesco Movement as a Transformative Communities of Practice (TCoP), and its findings support the development of new research avenues in the field
