Abstract

Social and professional behaviors are driven by extrinsic as well as intrinsic factors including executive rules and regulations enacted by extrinsic agents through coercion, police force and penalties. Despite their effectiveness, these mechanisms undermine the fact that ethics is an intrinsic human quality. The present study seeks strategies to apply extrinsic coercion as an incentive to direct ethics as an intrinsic value. Ethical behaviors driven by intrinsic motivations are more permanent and less costly. Legal force can either strengthen or weaken intrinsic requirements. Extrinsic conditions such as considering the interests, attitudes and preferences of others, involving people in the regulation and execution of law, justification of law, avoiding excessive punishment or rewards, and indirect support of ethics by establishing the appropriate social context can help boost intrinsic requirements in individuals. Ethics will not be practically established unless we harness individuals' 'willingness to act' as an essential determinant for ethical behavior. This requires adoption of a more psychological approach to ethics. If this aspect of ethical behavior is considered in regulations and executive processes, extrinsic forces can strengthen intrinsic requirements and spread ethics.

实现实践伦理的政策考量:缩小伦理理论与实践之间的差距。
社会行为和职业行为既有外在因素的驱动,也有内在因素的驱动,包括外在动因通过胁迫、警察力量和处罚制定的行政规章制度。尽管这些机制很有效,但它们破坏了道德是人类内在品质的事实。本研究寻求将外在强制作为激励的策略,以直接伦理作为内在价值。由内在动机驱动的道德行为更持久,成本更低。法律效力既可以加强也可以削弱内在要求。外部条件,如考虑他人的利益、态度和偏好,让人们参与法律的制定和执行,法律的正当性,避免过度的惩罚或奖励,以及通过建立适当的社会环境间接支持道德,可以帮助提高个人的内在需求。除非我们利用个人的“行动意愿”作为道德行为的基本决定因素,否则道德将无法在实践中建立起来。这就需要采用一种更心理学的伦理方法。如果在法规和执行过程中考虑到道德行为的这一方面,外在的力量可以强化内在的要求,传播道德。
