Abstract

Scientists who manage research laboratories often face ethical dilemmas related to conflicts between their different roles, such as researcher, mentor, entrepreneur, and manager. It is not known how often uncertainty about conflicting role obligations leads scientists to engage in unethical conduct, but this probably occurs more often than many people would like to think. In this paper, we reflect on ethical decision-making in scientific laboratory management with special attention to how different roles create conflicting obligations and expectations that may produce moral uncertainty and lead to violations of research norms, especially when combined with self-interest and other factors that increase the risk of misbehavior. We also offer some suggestions and guidance for investigators and research institutions.

科学实验室管理中的道德决策和角色冲突。
管理研究实验室的科学家经常面临与他们不同角色(如研究员、导师、企业家和管理者)之间的冲突有关的道德困境。对角色冲突义务的不确定性导致科学家做出不道德行为的频率不得而知,但这种情况的发生频率可能比很多人想象的要高。在本文中,我们对科学实验室管理中的伦理决策进行了反思,并特别关注了不同的角色如何造成相互冲突的义务和期望,从而可能产生道德不确定性并导致违反研究规范,尤其是当与自身利益和其他增加不当行为风险的因素相结合时。我们还为研究人员和研究机构提供了一些建议和指导。
