Britain's Economic and Social Research Council offered criteria for excellence in research which appear to express a shared basic idea of research–as–dialogue. This approach does not appear to be met very well by business ethics research in the USA or the UK, but it was seen to be impressively present in some of the German contributions to the European Business Ethics Network conference held in Frankfurt last year. Dr Collier analyses the conditions which may underlie this difference of approach and considers the contribution of modern "discourse ethics to the process of dialogue, concluding that dialogue "is an essential characteristic of research excellence", and that without it we therefore fail to meet both our own standards and the needs of the business community". Dr Collier is Lecturer in Management Studies the Judge Institute of Management Studies at the University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Lucy Cavendish College. 相似文献

Efforts to institutionalize ethics in corporations have been discussed without first addressing the desirability of norm conformity or the possibility that the means used to elicit conformity will be coercive. This article presents a theoretical context, grounded in models of social control, within which ethics initiatives may be evaluated. Ethics initiatives are discussed in relation to variables that already exert control in the workplace, such as environmental controls, organizational controls, and personal controls. 相似文献

From Ethics 'By Proxy' to Ethics In Action: New Approaches to Understanding HRM and Ethics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper we review recent UK literature on HRM and ethics and suggest that implicit in many accounts is a perception of a 'moral hole' appearing within the employee relations landscape which is based on external, reflective observations of HRM policies and practices. We argue that the investigation of HRM and ethics could be broadened by locating HRM and ethics research more explicitly within the social and cultural realities of organizations and their employees. Finally, we outline and illustrate what a social constructivist approach might add to research in this field and how it might provide insights that help bridge the gap between theory and practice. 相似文献

A serious attempt to integrate ethics in management was done by Professor Juan Antonio Pérez López (1934–1996). His thought represents a break with current scholarly thinking on these subjects. The purpose of this article is to explain some of the most significant aspects of his theories, relating basically to his recourse to ethics as what defines the characteristic behavior of human beings, considered as individuals and as members of organizations. Pérez López used the anthropological conception underlying the ethics of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas to build a solid base for that ethics, starting from the decision-making process. He then used that ethical base to point to the kind of action theory and organization theory that could most effectively assist the human development of people and organizations. 相似文献

The Principles of Corporate Governance require that business conduct conform to the law. In recent years, news reports of
business misconduct have cast doubt on a conclusion that conformity is the prevalent practice. This article explores the influence
of law on business conduct by comparing the law’s requirements and purposes with actual business conduct in the market. Specifically,
it explores whether certain legal regimes are more effective than others in inducing greater commitment to legal compliance
by corporate actors. The conclusion drawn is that the prevalent legal regime – a vague common law or legislative mandate –
is typically associated with corporate conduct that evades or ignores the law’s mandate or its underlying purpose.

A conflict within the community of those investigating business ethics is whether decision makers are motivated by an ethics of justice or an ethics of caring. The proposition put forward in this paper is that ethical orientations are strongly related to cultural backgrounds. Specifically, Hofstede's cultural stereotyping using his masculine-feminine dimension may well match a culture's reliance on justice or caring when decisions are made. A study of college graduates from six countries showed that Hofstede's dimension was remarkably accurate in predicating a justice or caring orientation for decision makers from five of the six countries. 相似文献

We present an ideal profile of an emerging organizational function: the Ethics Officer. We argue that the main contribution of an EO is to provide management with a broad perspective of the organization's stakeholders – one that emphasizes the interests of all stakeholders, including those not affiliated with the dominant coalitions in the organization. In order to avoid turning the EO into a rubber stamp for management activities, we suggest that certain conditions prevail to enable the person in this position to exercise impartial, independent judgment. These conditions are embodied in our profile, which maintains that an ideal EO should have appropriate organizational status, functional independence, professionalism, knowledge of organizational issues, and knowledge of ethics theory. We suggest that the function of EO may be performed by a professional who is already employed by the organization, and we use the internal auditor as an example. 相似文献

Ethics will not become part of the management decision-making process until it ceases to be viewed as an add-on; first you decide, then you assess the decision ethically. This essay focuses on one ethical concept, the good or the valuable, and shows how to incorporate it in an ethically and economically effective decision process. We focus on this concept because it uncovers a key fault in strategic thinking and generates questions central to any complex decision.The concept of the valuable is used to distinguish goals and purposes. A goal is a more or less specific target toward which one aims. A purpose is a way of being or functioning viewed as valuable in itself.Purposes make values operational. We look at values through a set of questions derived from the concept of the valuable. One question probes the range of individuals relevant to a decision. Participatory and dialectical decision approaches are critiqued. A second question probes the standards of rationality implicit in management decisions.We conclude by responding to two objections. The first is that justice in decision-making is insufficiently considered. The second is that there is little reason to think that the proposals made here would work if implemented.

J. Zoffer of the University of Pittsburgh. We both were promoting the idea of integrating ethics in management decision-making, but were embarrassed that we had little to say about how to proceed. So we picked the ethical concept of the good and set to work. This final product is my responsibility, but it certainly profited from Zoffer's efforts. This paper was presented at the 16th Conference on Value Inquiry, entitled: Ethics and the Market Place: An Exercise in Bridge-Building or On the Slopes of the Interface. 相似文献

This article uses bibliometric analysis to empirically examine research on business ethics published in a broad set of journals,
focused over the period 1988–2007. We consider those journals with an emphasis on accounting. First, we determine the citation
frequencies of documents to identify the core articles in accounting research with an ethics focus as well as the contributions
of influential fields included in the research sphere of these journals. We also employ document co-citation analysis to analyze
the scholarly communication patterns that exist within the realm of the specified articles. Second, we utilize social network
analysis tools to profile the centrality features of the co-citation network of these documents. 相似文献

Despite the so-called ‘paradigm wars’ in many social sciences disciplines in recent decades, debate as to the appropriate
philosophical basis for research in business ethics has been comparatively non-existent. Any consideration of paradigm issues
in the theoretical business ethics literature is rare and only very occasional references to relevant issues have been made
in the empirical journal literature. This is very much the case in the growing fields of cross-cultural business ethics and
undergraduate student attitudes, and examples from these fields are used in this article. No typology of the major paradigms
available for, or relied upon in, business ethics has been undertaken in the wider journal literature, and this article addresses
that gap. It contributes a synthesis of three models of paradigms and a tabulated comparison of ontological, epistemological
and methodological assumptions in the context of empirical business ethics research. The author also suggests the likely (and
usually unidentified) positivist paradigm assumptions underlying the vast majority of empirical business ethics research published
in academic journals and also argues for an increased reliance on less positivist assumptions moving forward. 相似文献

This article offers an overview over the wide scope business ethics has reached in German speaking countries; works which in their majority are not yet available in English translation. The proposed concepts range from a focus on the individual manager and a focus on moral education of managers, via the procedural model of discourse ethics to pressure group ethics and business ethics from a Christian point of view. Other authors suggest an economic theory of moral behaviour, or see ethics as an assurance for decisions under uncertainty or argue for a more enlightened concept of economic rationality. 相似文献
