Bad Apples In Bad Barrels Revisited: Cognitive Moral Development, Just World Beliefs, Rewards, And Ethical Decision Making, Neal M. Ashkanasy, Carolyn Windsor, Linda K. Trevino Nov 2006

Bad Apples In Bad Barrels Revisited: Cognitive Moral Development, Just World Beliefs, Rewards, And Ethical Decision Making, Neal M. Ashkanasy, Carolyn Windsor, Linda K. Trevino

Carolyn Windsor

In this study, we test the interactive effect on ethical decision-making of (1) personal characteristics, and (2) personal expectancies based on perceptions of organizational rewards and punishments. Personal characteristics studied were cognitive moral development and belief in a just world. Using an in-basket simulation, we found that exposure to reward system information influenced managers' outcome expectancies. Further, outcome expectancies and belief in a just world interacted with managers' cognitive moral development to influence managers' ethical decision-making. In particular, low-cognitive moral development managers who expected that their organization condoned unethical behavior made less ethical decisions while high cognitive moral development managers …

Civil Engagement Versus Social Engineering: What Can Be Learned From Nanojury Uk, Michele L. Mekel Mar 2006

Civil Engagement Versus Social Engineering: What Can Be Learned From Nanojury Uk, Michele L. Mekel

Michele L Mekel

Although nanotechnology is pervasive in scientific circles, it has only just begun to cross the public's radar screen here in the United States and around the world. But, as nanotechnology moves from under the microscope into the mainstream at an ever-accelerating pace, and as the citizenry begins to take notice of this nascent technology that promises everything from revolutionizing the economy to curing intractable diseases, understanding public sentiment toward nanotechnology and the societal issues it raises is critical to the formulation of appropriate nanopolicy.


Nanotechnologies: Small Science, Big Potential, And Bigger Issues, Michele L. Mekel Jan 2006

Nanotechnologies: Small Science, Big Potential, And Bigger Issues, Michele L. Mekel

Michele L Mekel

Ethical, legal, and social implications must be taken into account when considering environmental, health, and safety issues, as well as the constitution of human nature. The hyperbole related to emerging technologies must be broken down around the marketing of nanotechnologies in order to discuss, much more candidly, pressing ethical and legal risks.

The Depaul leadership development model proposes that a collaborative, value-centered, and service-oriented perspective be at the center of an effective and sustainable African leadership development program. …


The Impact Of Blogging On The Practice Of Law: Hit The Snooze Button, Tom W. Bell Dec 2005

The Impact Of Blogging On The Practice Of Law: Hit The Snooze Button, Tom W. Bell

Tom W. Bell

To forecast how blogging will impact the practice of law, we need to consider how some similar, equally revolutionary technology has impacted attorneys. I nominate the clock radio. Given that example, you might suppose that I don't think blogging will radically change the practice of law. Correct. Blogging has many virtues. It offers a largely harmless outlet for extroverted cranks and cheap entertainment for procrastinating office workers. Blogging even stands to do some very real good. I have nothing against blogging; I blog, myself. I simply don't think it will change the practice of law very much. Why not? First, …

Channeling Buzz Or Bucks? Ethical Implications For Marketing, Oscar T. Mcknight, Ronald Paugh, Vahn Knight

Oscar T McKnight Ph.D.

Too often higher education officials equate successful enrollment management with determining the appropriate financial-aid package, assuming the student matriculates. However, there are competing theories as to why a student may be attracted to a particular college. Could it be the "buzz"? This study examines the relationship between buzz and bucks with respect to enrollment objectives. Research findings indicate that it is not an either-or proposition. Moreover, marketers are presented with an ethical responsibility to safeguard the public.
