Presidents Kennedy and Nixon explored how individual moral identity can influence leadership ethics in decision making. The study examined how four key influences of education, family, peers, and religion could affect a leader's ability to make ethical or unethical decisions. Data analysis determined emergent themes from these influences to establish positive or negative moral identity development. Study results contributed to the literature by demonstrating how moral identity influences that emphasize societal welfare versus a self-focus can affect a leader's ability to make ethical or unethical decisions.","PeriodicalId":100827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychological Issues in Organizational Culture","volume":"11 1","pages":"40-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74303838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The biblical and sanctity of marriage arguments against homosexuals are accessed. When it comes to the sanctity of marriage, divorce is offered as a much worse force tainting the holiness of marriage. “If sanctity is the state of being holy or sacred, then divorce completely destroys marriage, and gay marriage in no way affects heterosexual divorce” (p. 6). Paul, who appears to be a source against homosexuals in many minds, is logically flipped to instead be an advocator for gay marriage. “A reasonable extrapolation of Paul's views can lead to the expectation that he would actually be in favor of gay marriage” (p. 4). The article goes on to discuss the view of homosexuals in various denominations and draws conclusions on where Christianity is headed.","PeriodicalId":100827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychological Issues in Organizational Culture","volume":"21 1","pages":"70-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87897198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heterosexism and workplace bullying are still prevalent concerns for LGBT workers, causing psychological and physical illness and reduced organizational effectiveness. This study contributes to social change by informing leaders, politicians, advocacy groups, and scholars on recommendations to help safeguard the health of employees, safeguard operational effectiveness of an organization, and reduce workplace bullying of LGBT and other marginalized employees. Findings of this study include that “organizational programs and policies should be developed and implemented to provide anti-bullying policies that protect all employees, not just minority or potentially marginalized employees.” Additionally, the results support the direction that “organizational leaders should begin to mitigate the damage of workplace bullying through enforcement of current policies.”</p>","PeriodicalId":100827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychological Issues in Organizational Culture","volume":"6 2","pages":"39-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/jpoc.21180","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71973278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We are becoming enveloped in an increasingly social world characterized by fluid models of openness and collaboration in organizational behavior. This transformation emanates from the works Hobbs, Locke, and Rousseau, all philosophers who believed that social contract theory consisted of a set of rules that regulated behavior, which rational people would accept, on the condition that others accept them as well.</p><p>The collection of articles in our current issue is evidence this profound change is underway. New social contracts are emerging. Each of our featured articles is focused on a group that has been standing in the shadows of social interactions. Individuals belonging to these groups have been disenfranchised from the social contracts enjoyed by more mainstream group members. The common theme among the articles appears to be the needs and efforts of disenfranchised groups of the 20th century and their supporters to renegotiate the social contract.</p><p>In her article, “<i>The Phenomenon of Later-Life Recareering by Well-Educated Baby Boomers,”</i> Rice draws attention to the growing trend among Baby Boomers over age 59 who are wishing to step up in their careers. This emergent group of mature adults is defying characterization that is typically regarded as being too old for entering a new career or for advancing in existing careers. These individuals are renegotiating a social contract with social organizations of a formal or informal context within the larger society.</p><p>Members of the LGBTQ community are renegotiating the social contract with the larger society to gain new recognition as individuals and partners within multiple organizational contexts. In his article, “Policy Characteristics for the Prevention of Workplace Bullying Anteceded by Heterosexism: A Delphi Study,” McCalla raises important questions as to whether organizations need to establish protective policies in workplaces for specific groups such as LGBTQ employees.</p><p>In their article, “The Psychology of Transference: Gender and Access to Training—The Mechanisms of Disadvantage,” McIntosh, Prowse, and Archibong explore the pathways taken by working women who do not wish to choose between career and family and are renegotiating the traditional social contract regarding motherhood. Women with children may lose valuable opportunities for advancement as an outcome of an active family life.</p><p>The symposium articles for this issue continue our focus on social contracts</p><p>In the article, “Manipulative Monkeys: Research as Design,” Underdahl examines, through an extensive literature review, primate behavior, so that we see exa","PeriodicalId":100827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychological Issues in Organizational Culture","volume":"6 2","pages":"5-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/jpoc.21182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71972878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
