Character and Environment: The Status of Virtues in 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.

What Managers Could See in the Philosophical Block of “Free Will”?

Business ethics’ theories have come under a lot of criticism lately. The problem has been the lack of a philosophical base or the inadequate implementation of it. We are trying to solve this problem by examining the roots of ethics and then applying it to the business environment. The root that has been undeservedly overlooked has been the concept of free will, the oldest philosophical problem on which every ethics theory lies. We have chosen two theories that we think would be the best base for business ethics. We will shortly present the others. Since free will presents the core of business ethics, business ethicists must first agree on which theory to implement. Aristotle’s and Aquinas’ theory of free will best amplify the core of economic theory, because it gives reason a central and most important role in the theory. The concept of free will is mainly philosophical as is business ethics so the article follows this tradition, but we tried to give business examples where possible. We do not give a final conclusion because it should be reached by debate and mutual agreement between business ethicists.

An Ethical Framework for the Marketing of Corporate Social Responsibility

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an ethical framework for the marketing of corporate social responsibility. Methods The approach is a conceptual one based on virtue ethics and on the corporate identity literature. Furthermore, empirical research results are used to describe the opportunities and pitfalls of using marketing communication tools in the strategy of building a virtuous corporate brand. Results/conclusions An ethical framework that addresses the paradoxical relation between the consequentialist perspective many proponents of the marketing of CSR adopt, and ethical perspectives which criticize an exclusive profit-oriented approach to CSR. Furthermore, three CSR strategies in relation to the marketing of CSR are discussed. For each CSR strategy it is explored how a corporation could avoid falling into the promise/performance gap.     

农村工业化对村落共同体的冲击和农民的反应

从现代世界体系理论视角看,农村工业化的冲击力是世界工业资本向农村不断扩张的结构性力量,村落共同体因受到冲击而逐步解构直至解体,社会出现文化失调和伦理失落。农民感知逐渐失去村落共同体的安全感、稳定感、归属感和秩序感,产生消极情感。“德性律令”以“共享心智模型”为村落农民的认知图式,认为冲击与反应的辩证互动是以德性为核心,农村工业化的结构性力量会不断扩张,经济理性冲击德性伦理理性;德性会反抗经济理性,农民会为承认而斗争。文章从崭新的视角——现代世界体系理论视角,为“农村工业化的冲击和农民的反应”提供一种可能的文化解释。“中国道路”让作者由现代世界体系工业资本扩张反思农村工业化,中国需要从单一的农村劳动力资源比较优势的道路,逐步走向经济理性、制度理性和文化理性“叠加优势”之路。

《大学》的经济哲学与当代大学使命——《礼记·大学》探微

近现代大学的任务,从教育衍生出科研,再衍生出服务社会,其中蕴涵着明明德、亲民、止于至善的诉求。一个民族如果具备了这种精神,即便暂居劣势,也必将走向兴盛。现代知识经济的知本论同时也应当是德本论。明智的企业家和管理者也正是依据这样的理念,寻找、开发、管理人力资源和知识资源。大学之道作为教育和学习的哲学,超出了狭义经济学的眼界,成为一种具备终极关怀、追求至善的经济哲学。     

Ethical Decision-Making: A Case for the Triple Font Theory

This paper discusses the philosophical argument and the application of the Triple Font Theory (TFT) for moral evaluation of human acts and attempts to integrate the conceptual components of major moral theories into a systematic internally consistent decision-making model that is theoretically driven. The paper incorporates concepts such as formal and material cooperation and the Principle of Double Effect (PDE) into the theoretical framework. It also advances the thesis that virtue theory ought to be included in any adequate justification of morality and the need to integrate or coordinate notions of virtue into various act-oriented or principles-based ethics. The TFT offers a comprehensive and practical approach to ethical decision-making and is a useful alternative embedded in traditional wisdom. This paper provides a more general framework of the TFT than traditionally presented. Practical judgment is shown to play a constitute role in providing a guide for right action and is the “glue” that integrates the various components of the TFT.
