Companies offer ethics codes and training to increase employees’ ethical conduct. These programs can also enhance individual
work attitudes because ethical organizations are typically valued. Socially responsible companies are likely viewed as ethical
organizations and should therefore prompt similar employee job responses. Using survey information collected from 313 business
professionals, this exploratory study proposed that perceived corporate social responsibility would mediate the positive relationships
between ethics codes/training and job satisfaction. Results indicated that corporate social responsibility fully or partially
mediated the positive associations between four ethics program variables and individual job satisfaction, suggesting that
companies might better manage employees’ ethical perceptions and work attitudes with multiple policies, an approach endorsed
in the ethics literature.

In this article, we empirically assess the impact of corporate ethical identity (CEI) on a firm’s financial performance. Drawing
on formulations of normative and instrumental stakeholder theory, we argue that firms with a strong ethical identity achieve
a greater degree of stakeholder satisfaction (SS), which, in turn, positively influences a firm’s financial performance. We
analyze two dimensions of the CEI of firms: corporate revealed ethics and corporate applied ethics. Our results indicate that revealed ethics has informational worth and enhances shareholder value, whereas applied ethics
has a positive impact through the improvement of SS. However, revealed ethics by itself (i.e. decoupled from ethical initiatives)
is not sufficient to boost economic performance.

By focusing on the reasoned debate in the discourse-ethical approach to business ethics, this paper discusses the possibilities and limitations of moral reasoning as well as applied economic and business ethics. Business ethics, it is contended, can be looked at from the standpoint of two criteria: justification and application. These criteria are used to compare three approaches: the Integrative Business Ethics, developed by Swiss philosopher Peter Ulrich, the Cultural Business Ethics of the Nuremberg School in German business ethics, and the concept of “Good Conservation” by Frederick Bird. It is argued that discourse-ethical approaches can be called upon for justifying moral principles. Improving the chances of their application, however, necessitates a good understanding of lifeworlds and culturally developed institutional settings. Bearing this in mind, further research perspectives stressing a linkage between discourse-ethical and critical approaches in social sciences are suggested.Dr. Thomas Beschorner is head of the research group “Social Learning and Sustainability” at University of Oldenburg, Germany and currently Visiting-Professor at McGill University, Montreal, Canada 相似文献

The Effectiveness of Business Codes: A Critical
Examination of Existing Studies and the Development of an Integrated Research Model 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Business codes are a widely used management instrument. Research into the effectiveness of business codes has, however, produced
conflicting results. The main reasons for the divergent findings are: varying definitions of key terms; deficiencies in the
empirical data and methodologies used; and a lack of theory. In this paper, we propose an integrated research model and suggest
directions for future research.

Various international authorities have insisted on the importance of ethical learning in higher education for would-be professionals,
including students of Business Administration. As the process of creating the European Higher Education Area gathers pace,
first steps have been taken to explicitly incorporate ethics in the common European Qualifications Framework (EQF). However,
the authors of this study show how in the course of the EQF development process, the consideration given to ethical qualifications
has been curtailed and subjected to serious limitations. In this article, the authors review the historical development and
the main elements of the EQF. Then, they analyze the gradual elimination of ethics within the EQF. Finally, they highlight
the implications of this gradual elimination and propose avenues for further research.

Great leaders are ethical stewards who generate high levels of commitment from followers. In this paper, we propose that perceptions
about the trustworthiness of leader behaviors enable those leaders to be perceived as ethical stewards. We define ethical
stewardship as the honoring of duties owed to employees, stakeholders, and society in the pursuit of long-term wealth creation.
Our model of relationship between leadership behaviors, perceptions of trustworthiness, and the nature of ethical stewardship
reinforces the importance of ethical governance in dealing with employees and in creating organizational systems that are
congruent with espoused organizational values.

In this study, we examined moral issues and gender differences in ethical judgment using Reidenbach and Robin’s [Journal of Business Ethics
9 (1990) 639) multidimensional ethics scale (MES). A total of 340 undergraduate students were asked to provide ethical judgment
by rating three moral issues in the MES labeled: ‚sales’, ‚auto’, and ‚retail’ using three ethics theories: moral equity,
relativism, and contractualism. We found that female students’ ratings of ethical judgment were consistently higher than that
of male students across two out of three moral issues examined (i.e., sales and retails) and ethics theories; providing support
for Eagly’s [1987, Sex Differences in Social Behavior: A Social-role Interpretation. (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc, Hillsdale, NJ, England)] social role theory. After controlling for moral issues, women’s
higher ratings of ethical judgment over men’s became statistically non-significant. Theoretical and practical implications
based on the study’s findings are provided.

In this article, cluster analysis is used to explore the conflicting results reported when the Defining Issues Test is used
to explain moral reasoning ability in business situations. Using a convenience sample, gender, age, work experience, and ethics
training were examined to determine their impact on the level of moral reasoning ability as measured by the Defining Issues
Test. Using the whole sample, a significant difference was found for average P scores reported for males and females, but no significant differences were found based on age, work experience, and ethics
training. However, the sample fell into distinct clusters that identified distinct male and female groupings. While females
naturally fell into two distinct high- and low-moral reasoning ability clusters, male clusters were dominated more by work
experience and ethics training. Clearly there are other factors mitigating the level of moral reasoning ability for males
which require further exploration. The findings suggest that while the P score provides an initial point of comparison, the real benefit to the test is in exploring what is different for males and
females in terms of training needs, and the impact of work experience on the moral reasoning ability, and most importantly,
how to make ethics training enticing. Recommendations for future research are also discussed.

Ethical dilemmas involving tax issues were identified by members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
as posing the most difficult ethical problem for them (Finn et al., Journal of Business Ethics
7(8), pp. 607–609, 1988). The KPMG tax shelter fraud case proves that the tax profession has not gone untainted in the age
of numerous accounting and corporate scandals, such as the Enron débacle (Sikka and Hampton, Accounting Forum
29(3), 325–343, 2005). High-profile scandals serve to highlight the problems caused by differences in ethical judgement among
accountants and tax practitioners and the issue of ethics has been brought publicly to the forefront of the profession. Nevertheless,
the nature and dimension of ethical issues in tax practice have been largely unexplored (Erard, Journal of Public Economics
52(2), 163–197, 1993; Marshall et al., Journal of Business Ethics
17(12), 1265–1279, 1998; Frecknall Hughes, Unpublished PhD Thesis, The University of Leeds, 2002). This research aims to contribute
to the debate on ethics in tax practice by reporting interview data on tax practitioners’ perceptions of ethics in the jurisdictions
of Ireland and the United Kingdom and exploring the link or equation of ethics with risk management. 相似文献

Management practitioners and scholars have worked diligently to identify methods for ethical decision making in international
contexts. Theoretical frameworks such as Integrative Social Contracts Theory (Donaldson and Dunfee, 1994, Academy of Management Review
19, 252–284) and more recently the Global Business Citizenship Approach [Wood et al., 2006, Global Business Citizenship: A Transformative Framework for Ethics and Sustainable Capitalism. (M. E. Sharpe, Armonk, NY)] have produced innovations in practice. Despite these advances, many managers have difficulty
implementing these theoretical concepts in daily practice. Using the example of recent decisions by internet service providers
Google, Yahoo, and MSN regarding censorship requirements in China, we offer six heuristic questions to help managers to resolve
cross-cultural ethical conflicts in which the firm’s way of doing business differs from the practice in the host country.
Recognizing that companies can take different approaches to law and ethics (Paine, 1994, Harvard Business Review
72(2), 107–117), our aim is to provide a management decision process to deal with demands or opportunities for engaging in questionable
business practices in a host country. 相似文献

This paper applies Wempe’s (2005, Business Ethics Quarterly
15(1), 113–135) boundary conditions that define the external and internal logics for contractarian business ethics theory, as a system of argumentation for evaluating current or prospective institutional arrangements for arriving at the “good life,” based on the principles and practices of social justice. It does so by showing that a more dynamic, process-oriented, and pluralist ‘dialogic twist’ to Donaldson and Dunfee’s (2003, ‘Social Contracts: sic et non’, in P. Heugens, H. van Oosterhout and J. Vromen (eds.), The Social Institutions of Capitalism: Evolution and Design of Social Contracts (Cheltenham, UK, Edward Elgar Publishing, Ltd.) pp. 109–126; 1999, Ties that Bind: A Social Contracts Approach to Business Ethics (Boston, MA, Harvard Business School Press); 1995, Economics and Philosophy
11(1), 85–112; 1994, Academy of Management Review
19(2), 252–284.) integrated social contracting theory (ISCT) of economic ethics will further develop this promising and influential approach to moral reasoning, ethical decision-making, and stakeholder governance. This evolutionary, interactive learning-based model of ethical norm generation via dialogic stakeholder engagement is particularly appropriate within economic communities that are experiencing value conflict and pressures for institutional change.Jerry M. Calton is Professor of Management at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. His research interests encompass multi-stakeholder learning dialogue, trust-based network governance, and the social contracting approach to ethical decision-making.

In the academic world, research has indicated that “good ethics is good business.” Such research seems to indicate that firms,
which emphasize ethical values and social responsibilities, tend to be more profitable than others. Generally, the profitability
is credited to the firm’s positive relationships with its customers, reduced costs of attempting to rebuild a tarnished image,
ease of attracting capital, etc. The research conducted in this study evaluated salespeople’s perceptions of the ethics of
businesses in general, their employer’s ethics, their attitudes as consumers, and the relationships existing between these
perceptions and the sale force’s job satisfaction and turnover intentions. The results show a positive relationship existing
between salesperson perceptions of business ethics, his/her employer’s ethics, consumer attitudes, and the salesperson’s job
satisfaction and reduced turnover intentions.

In this paper, we examine whether ethics officers are able to perform their assigned duties independently of organizational
management. Specifically, we investigate whether inherent conflicts of interest with company management potentially hinder
the ability of ethics officers to serve as an effective monitor and deterrent of unethical activity throughout the organization.
As part of our analysis, we conducted 10 detailed phone interviews with current and retired ethics officers in order to determine
whether practicing ethics officers feel the need for additional independence protection from management. We propose that the
current system in which ethics officers report to management must be changed in order for ethics officers to effectively perform
their jobs. Specifically, we maintain that ethics officers should (1) be hired by, (2) be fired by, and (3) report directly
to the corporate board of directors rather than company management. Such a change in the reporting environment would greatly
enhance the independence of ethics officers.

Business ethics has gradually acquired a stable status, both as an academic discipline and as a practice. Stakeholdership is recognised as a guiding concept, business has widely accepted that it has a license to operate to win from society at large, and operational instruments such as codes of ethics and forms of ethical auditing and accounting take shape more and more. Yet lacunae remain. Three are mentioned explicitly. Business ethics has to improve its relations with business law, the concept of competition deserves much more ethical attention than it has received up to now, and the shifting relations between the market, governmental agencies and civil society require the elaboration of an institutional business ethics. 相似文献

We develop a model of ethical decision making that integrates the decision-making process and the content variables considered
by individuals facing ethical dilemmas. The process described in the model is drawn from Janis and Mann’s [1977, Decision Making: A Psychological Analysis of Conflict Choice and Commitment (The Free Press, New York)] work describing the decision process in an environment of conflict, choice and commitment. The
model is enhanced by the inclusion of content variables derived from the ethics literature. The resulting integrated model
aids in understanding the complexity of the decision process used by individuals facing ethical dilemmas and suggests variable
interactions that could be field-tested. A better understanding of the process will help managers develop policies that enhance
the likelihood of ethical behavior in their organizations.

Using evidence from experimental psychology, some social psychologists, moral philosophers and organizational scholars claim
that character traits do not exist and, hence, that the philosophical tradition of virtue ethics is empirically inadequate
and should dispose of the notion of character to accommodate the empirical evidence. In this paper, I systematically address
the debate between dispositionalists and situationists about the existence, status and properties of character traits and
their manifestations in human behavior, with the ultimate goal of responding to the question whether virtue ethicists need
to abandon the very enterprise of building a character-based moral theory in business ethics and organizational behavior.
In the course of this paper, I shall defend the claim that the situationist argument relies on a misinterpretation of the
experimental evidence.

Recent research suggests there may be a link between religiousness and business ethics. This study seeks to add to the understanding
of the relationship through a questionnaire survey on Malaysian Christians in business. The questionnaire taps into three
different constructs. The religiousness construct is reflected in the level of participation in various common religious activities.
The love of money construct is captured through the Love of Money Scale as used in Luna-Arocas and Tang [Journal of Business Ethics
50 (2004) 329]. Response to 25 business vignettes taken from Conroy and Emerson [Journal of Business Ethics
50 (2004) 383] would surface ethical attitudes. A convenience sample of 300 was drawn from three large churches in the Kuala Lumpur
area each with a congregation exceeding 1000 together with some representation from the smaller churches. The study finds
some differences in the ethical attitudes of Malaysian Christians in business with different levels of religiousness. The
study also finds that those longer in the faith are less accepting of unethical behavior. As such it can be concluded that
there are ethical attitude differences between Christians in business with different levels of religiousness. This lends support
to the claim of a positive relationship between religion and business ethics. The more significant finding is that even within
a somewhat homogenous religious group there are different love of money profiles resulting in significant differences in ethical
attitudes. This suggests that moderating money attitudes can contribute towards stronger ethical attitudes.

Multi-national corporations (MNCs) have been criticised for not behaving ethically in some situations, which could have a
negative effect on their reputation. This study examines the ethics of a large MNC in its relationship with its suppliers.
A brief literature review of corporate identity, business ethics and buyer–supplier relationships is undertaken. The views
and perceptions of the buying staff and the suppliers to a large South African MNC are obtained and discussed. The results
indicate that this MNC has a good corporate reputation among both its suppliers (an important stakeholder) and its own buying
department. The existence and implementation of formal codes of ethics was found to be a necessary, but not sufficient condition
for good ethical practice. Candid relationships with suppliers emerged as a second and important factor. Ethical perceptions
of buyers by suppliers are driven by the management of corporate identity, through the elements of ethical standards and candid
relationships.
We present a model of corporate identity/reputation in Buyer–Supplier Relationships.

The aim of this paper is to put forward an ethical framework for the conceptualization and development of ethics audits, here understood as a catalyst for company dialogue and in general, for management of ethics in the company. Ethics auditing is understood as the opportunity and agreement to devise a system to inform on ethical corporate behavior. This system essentially aims to increase the transparency and credibility of the companys commitment to ethics. At the same time, the process of elaborating this system allows us to introduce the moral dimension into company actions and decisions, thereby completing a key dimension of the production, maintenance and development of trust capital. To this end, the following four steps are taken. First, we analyze the relation between ethics auditing and trust as a basic moral resource in the dialogue between the company and its various stakeholders. Second, we examine the social balance sheet as a precursor to ethics auditing and focus on what prevents it from going further. Third, we attempt to reconstruct the basic moral assumptions underlying the companys social responsibility from the discourse ethics approach. Finally, we present a methodological framework from which to carry out our proposal, which embraces two basic theoretical perspectives stakeholder theory and the values derived from discourse ethics as a normative framework. 相似文献
