This research project seeks to discover whether certain characteristics of a moral issue facilitate individuals’ abilities
to detect violators of a conditional rule. In business, conditional rules are often framed in terms of a social contract between
employer and employee. Of significant concern to business ethicists is the fact that these social contracts are frequently
breached. Some researchers in the field of evolutionary psychology argue that there is a biological basis to social contract
formation and dissolution in business. However, although it is inescapable that biological forces shaped a fixed neural structure
that guides and limits humans’ abilities, we argue that characteristics of the situation in which the person finds himself
or herself moderate the activation of these neural circuits in ordinary business social contract situations. Specifically,
the moral intensity associated with the social contract conditional rule is likely to influence peoples’ abilities to detect
violators of the rule. This study utilizes adapted versions of the Wason selection task and manipulates the issue-contingent
moral intensity characteristics of magnitude of consequences, proximity, and social consensus to assess if moral intensity
facilitates detection of rule violators. Results from this empirical study indicate no relationship between moral intensity
characteristics and issue recognition but do provide insights into the evolutionary psychology approach.

Following an extensive review of the moral intensity literature, this article reports the findings of two studies (one between-subjects,
the other within-subject) that examined the effect of manipulated and perceived moral intensity on ethical judgment. In the
between-subjects study participants judged actions taken in manipulated high moral intensity scenarios to be more unethical
than the same actions taken in manipulated low moral intensity scenarios. Findings were mixed for the effect of perceived
moral intensity. Both probable magnitude of consequences (a factor consisting of magnitude of consequences, probability of
effect, and temporal immediacy) and social consensus had a significant effect; proximity did not. In the within-subject study
manipulated moral intensity had a significant effect on ethical judgment, but perceived moral intensity did not. Regression
of ethical judgment on age, gender, major, and the three perceived moral intensity factors was significant between-subjects,
but not within-subject. Ethical judgment was found to be a more robust predictor of intention than perceived moral intensity
using a within-subject design.

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.

We re-examine the construct of Moral Hypocrisy from the perspective of normative self-interest. Arguing that some degree of
self-interest is culturally acceptable and indeed expected, we postulate that a pattern of behavior is more indicative of
moral hypocrisy than a single action. Contrary to previous findings, our results indicate that a significant majority of subjects
(N = 136) exhibited fair behavior, and that ideals of caring and fairness, when measured in context of the scenario, were predictive
of those behaviors. Moreover, measures of Individualism/Collectivism appear more predictive of self-interested behavior than
out-of-context responses to moral ideals. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Linking Linear/Nonlinear Thinking Style Balance and Managerial Ethical Decision-Making 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study presents the results of an empirical analysis of the relationship between managerial thinking style and ethical
decision-making. Data from 200 managers across multiple organizations and industries demonstrated that managers predominantly
adopt a utilitarian perspective when forming ethical intent across a series of business ethics vignettes. Consistent with
expectations, managers utilizing a balanced linear/nonlinear thinking style demonstrated a greater overall willingness to
provide ethical decisions across ethics vignettes compared to managers with a predominantly linear thinking style. However,
results comparing the ethical decision-making of balanced thinking managers and nonlinear thinking managers were generally
inconsistent across the ethics vignettes. Unexpectedly, managers utilizing a balanced linear/nonlinear thinking style were
least likely to adopt an act utilitarian rationale for ethical decision-making across the vignettes, suggesting that balanced
thinkers may be more likely to produce ethical decisions by considering a wider range of alternatives and ruling out those
that are justified solely on the basis of their outcomes. Implications are discussed for future research and practice related
to management education and development, and ethical decision-making theory.

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.

Observers’ Impressions of Unethical Persons and Whistleblowers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Since there have been many recent occurrences of alleged wrongdoing by business persons and other professionals, it seems
additional ethics research is needed to obtain knowledge that will impact real-world behavior. An empirical study assessed
business students’ impressions of hypothetical wrongdoers and whistleblowers. To some extent, impressions of an unethical
executive and a whistleblower were influenced by the same variables and in opposite directions. Female respondents judged
the unethical executive less favorably and the whistleblower more favorably than did males. The executive was rated less favorably
and the whistleblower more favorably when the executive sought a small gain than when the goal was a large gain or prevention
of a loss of either magnitude. Some manipulations, however, impacted impressions of one actor, but not the other. Perhaps
ethics training can make students aware that issue␣framing and moral intensity components may bias decisions.

This study focused on the effects of individual characteristics and exposure to ethics education on perceptions of the linkage
between organizational ethical practices and business outcomes. Using a stratified sampling approach, 817 students were randomly
selected from a population of approximately 1310 business students in an AACSB accredited college of business. Three hundred
and twenty eight of the subjects were freshmen, 380 were seniors, and 109 were working managers and professionals enrolled
in a night-time MBA program. Overall, the respondents included 438 male students and 379 female students. Exposure to ethics
in the curriculum had a significant impact on student perceptions of what should be the ideal linkages between organizational
ethical practices and business outcomes. Gender based differences were found with female students having a higher expectation
regarding what should be the “ethics practices and business outcomes” link. Exposure to ethics in the curriculum had a positive
moderating influence on the gender-based effects on perceptions of ideal ethical climate. The interaction effect showed that
exposure to ethical education may have a positive impact on males and allow them to catch up with females in their ethical
sensitivities concerning the ideal linkage between organizational ethical behavior and business outcomes. Further, consistent
with the literature, the study found that gender differences in ethical attitudes regarding the ideal ethical climate, while
significant for undergraduates, appeared to narrow considerably for the working professionals who were part-time MBA students.

Ethical Commitment,Financial Performance,and Valuation: An Empirical Investigation of Korean Companies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A variety of stakeholders including investors, corporate managers, customers, suppliers, employees, researchers, and government
policy makers have long been interested in the relationship between the financial performance of a corporation and its commitment
to business ethics. As a subject of research, the relations between business ethics and corporate valuation has yet to be
thoroughly quantified and investigated. This article is an effort to amend this inadequacy by demonstrating a statistically
significant association between ethical commitment and corporate valuation measures. Consistent with anecdotal evidence, we
have found a significant association between the ethical commitment of Korean companies and their valuation on the Korean
stock market. However, the result reveals that the association between ethical commitment and financial performance is not
significantly supported.

Organizational governance has historically focused around the perspective of principals and managers and has traditionally
pursued the goal of maximizing owner wealth. This paper suggests that organizational governance can profitably be viewed from
the ethical perspective of organizational followers – employees of the organization to whom important ethical duties are also
owed. We present two perspectives of organizational governance: Principal Theory that suggests that organizational owners
and managers can often be ethically opportunistic and take advantage of employees who serve them and Principle Theory that
focuses on guiding principles that are sometimes taken too far in organizations. In introducing these two new organizational
governance perspectives, we offer insights into the value of rethinking ethical duties owed to organizational followers.

This study focuses on one of the newer forms of software piracy, known as digital piracy, and uses the Theory of Planned Behavior
(TPB) as a framework to attempt to determine factors that influence digital piracy (the illegal copying/downloading of copyrighted
software and media files). This study examines factors, which could determine an individual’s intention to pirate digital
material (software, media, etc.). Past piracy behavior and moral obligation, in addition to the prevailing theories of behavior
(Theory of Planned Behavior), were studied to determine the influence on digital piracy intention. Based on the results of
this study, planned behavioral factors in addition to past piracy behavior and moral obligation were found to influence an
individual’s intention to pirate digital material. Attitude, past piracy behavior, perceived behavior control, and moral obligation
explained 71 percent of the intention to pirate variance. Using these results, a better understanding of why individuals pirate
is presented and can be used to help combat digital piracy.

This paper examines the professions as examples of “moral community” and explores how professional leaders possessed of moral
intelligence can make a contribution to enhance the ethical fabric of their communities. The paper offers a model of ethical
leadership in the professional business sector that will improve our understanding of how ethical behavior in the professions
confers legitimacy and sustainability necessary to achieving the professions’ goals, and how a leadership approach to ethics
can serve as an effective tool for the dissemination of moral values in the organization.

This study explored several proposed relationships among professional ethical standards, corporate social responsibility,
and the perceived role of ethics and social responsibility. Data were collected from 313 business managers registered with
a large professional research association with a mailed self-report questionnaire. Mediated regression analysis indicated
that perceptions of corporate social responsibility partially mediated the positive relationship between perceived professional
ethical standards and the believed importance of ethics and social responsibility. Perceptions of corporate social responsibility
also fully mediated the negative relationship between perceived professional ethical standards and the subordination of ethics
and social responsibility. The results suggested that professions should develop ethical standards to encourage social responsibility,
since these actions are associated with enhanced employee ethical attitudes.
