Universalism And Utilitarianism: An Evaluation Of Two Popular Moral Theories In Business Decision Making, Joan Marques

Moral theories remain a topic of interest, not just to moral philosophers, but increasingly in business circles as well, thanks to a tainted reputation that urges more awareness in this regard. Based on the expressed preferences of 163 undergraduate and graduate students of business ethics, this article briefly examines the two most popular theories, Universalism (Kantian) and Utilitarianism (consequentialist), and presents a SWOT analysis of both.

This article will examine four data analysis software—Excel add-ins, SPSS, SAS, and R—and we will outline the cost, training, and statistical methods/tests/uses for each of these software. It will further explain implications for universities and future students.

A Case For Developing Spiritual Intelligence In Leaders Through Equine Facilitated Learning, Cora Maziere, Olen Gunnlaugson
A Case For Developing Spiritual Intelligence In Leaders Through Equine Facilitated Learning, Cora Maziere, Olen Gunnlaugson
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Unpredictable circumstances, growing stresses in an ever-increasing global market, and ubiquitous ennui have left organizations and today’s leaders in government, industry, and academia without the necessary tools to transition to change in a principled manner. The authors explain that the development and maintenance of genuine leadership skills — adaptive to the dictates of the modern world — must be borne from one’s inner self, a retreat to spirituality. One available method of achieving this is through Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning (EFEL), a technique whereby leaders develop critical management skills by working with horses.

The End Of Tomorrow: Have We Lost Control? Do We Still Have Time To Stop The Inevitable? Soon We Will Know It's All About Leadership, Emilio F. Iodice
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
There are many varying aspects of desired leadership in business and in government: managerial competencies, policy-making aligned with the needs of all affected stakeholders, effective communication skills, and the infusion of ethics in all forms of decision-making. However, none command attention more than the ability to lead in a world where every eco-system is in decline and the health of the planet is dangerously threatened. It will be those leaders who understand the magnitude, science, and extreme importance of this issue who are in the highest demand and to whom we look to protect the progress made in human rights …

Commitment In University Students: Generator Of Successful Professionals, Maria Del Rosario Hernández Coló
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
The University has historically been regarded as the harbinger of values, human rights, and other noble pursuits. It is within this atmosphere that personal development, mutual respect, and collaboration are expected to flourish through commitment to work and study. Yet in order for meaningful and sustainable social, economic, and political changes to take root, the author opines that certain adjustments to the overall social fabric are occasionally required and can only be achieved through unyielding commitment — an essential value transmitted from person to person through both individual and collective reflection.
Bhagavad Gitā & The Art Of Leadership: Old Text, New Context!, Satinder Dhiman
Bhagavad Gitā & The Art Of Leadership: Old Text, New Context!, Satinder Dhiman
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Author and scholar Satinder Dhiman focuses upon the pervasive and necessary role of spirituality in values-based leadership. He notes that while the leadership literature is plentiful, the Bhagavad Gītā represents one of the very few writings which explores the core psychological, philosophical, ethical, and spiritual underpinnings of leadership roles. In this article, the author applies hermeneutics to the Gītā to highlight important leadership lessons and to apply such lessons to contemporary organizational leadership. Through selfless work, a true leader eschews an egoistic pursuit of self-aggrandizement to achieve the freedom of serving others. Thus, Dhiman concludes, the Gītā teaches its readers …
Favoritism: Ethical Dilemmas Viewed Through Multiple Paradigms, I-Pang Fu
Favoritism: Ethical Dilemmas Viewed Through Multiple Paradigms, I-Pang Fu
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Favoritism is a controversial issue in many cultural settings. Related terms include nepotism and cronyism; all three are identified with misconduct in the merit-based business world. The flip side is ethics — the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group (Merriam-Webster, 2012). According to John Dewey (1902), “Ethics is the science that deals with conduct insofar as this is considered to be right or wrong, good or bad.” Since favoritism is perceived as being linked to workplace misconduct, it is necessary to use ethics in examining this issue. The current study applied four lenses of ethics identified by …

Values Generation: Turning Values Into Wealth, Leon Miller
Values Generation: Turning Values Into Wealth, Leon Miller
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Much of management behavior is focused on increasing benefits (usually thought of — in terms of Utilitarian ethics — as maximizing utility). Good, in terms of what increases benefits; thus, what is preferred by business is defined as the ability to motivate individuals in a way that increases desired outcomes (or that enhances organizational performance). This talent (referred to as the art of persuasion or the art of management) is valued because it facilitates achieving the desired results. Managers with such persuasive or motivational skills are highly regarded because of their ability to increase personal wealth, improve performance, and contribute …
