Abstract

A cursory review of behavioral ethics research reveals a growing interest in what scholars regularly refer to as the “dark side,” a genre of studies in which concepts that are generally regarded as positive and good are shown to be associated with some sort of negative or bad outcomes. We employ philosophical and institutional lenses to explain why any concept would have a dark side and why researchers would be drawn to it. We then take a social scientific point of view to consider how the dark side of various constructs is typically revealed. Finally, we discuss the implications of dark side research, paying particular attention to the negative implications (no irony intended) focusing on the dark side has for the practice of research and the practice of management.
黑暗面:给一个不断增长的伦理相关研究类型的背景和意义
对行为伦理学研究的粗略回顾显示,学者们对通常被称为“黑暗面”的研究越来越感兴趣,这是一种研究流派,在这种研究中,通常被认为是积极和好的概念被证明与某种消极或坏的结果有关。我们用哲学和制度的视角来解释为什么任何概念都会有阴暗面,以及为什么研究人员会被它吸引。然后,我们采取社会科学的观点来考虑如何揭示各种结构的黑暗面。最后,我们讨论了黑暗面研究的影响,特别注意关注黑暗面对研究实践和管理实践的负面影响(无意讽刺)。
