Abstract

We review and synthesize over two decades of research on ethical culture in organizations, examining eighty-nine relevant scholarly works. Our article discusses the conceptualization of ethical culture in a cross-disciplinary space and its critical role in ethical decision-making. With a view to advancing future research, we analyze the antecedents, outcomes, and mediator and moderator roles of ethical culture. To do so, we identify measures and theories used in past studies and make recommendations. We propose, inter alia, the use of validated measures, application of a wider range of theories, adoption of longitudinal studies, and study of group-level data in organizations. We explore research possibilities in new and emergent forms of organizations, ways of organizing work, and technology in ethical decision-making, such as the role of artificial intelligence. We also recommend the study of a broad range of leadership styles and their influence in shaping ethical cultures in organizations.
组织中的伦理文化:回顾与未来研究议程
我们回顾并综合了二十多年来关于组织伦理文化的研究,考察了89篇相关的学术著作。本文讨论了跨学科空间中伦理文化的概念及其在伦理决策中的关键作用。本文分析了伦理文化的前因、结果、中介和调节作用,以期为今后的研究提供参考。为此,我们确定了过去研究中使用的测量和理论,并提出了建议。我们建议,除其他外,使用有效的措施,应用更广泛的理论,采用纵向研究,并在组织中研究群体层面的数据。我们探索新的和新兴的组织形式、组织工作的方式和道德决策中的技术的研究可能性,例如人工智能的作用。我们还建议研究广泛的领导风格及其在塑造组织道德文化方面的影响。

期刊介绍: Business Ethics Quarterly (BEQ) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes theoretical and empirical research relevant to the ethics of business. Since 1991 this multidisciplinary journal has published articles and reviews on a broad range of topics, including the internal ethics of business organizations, the role of business organizations in larger social, political and cultural frameworks, and the ethical quality of market-based societies and market-based relationships. It recognizes that contributions to the better understanding of business ethics can come from any quarter and therefore publishes scholarship rooted in the humanities, social sciences, and professional fields.
