The authors posit that besides preventing unethical behaviour, promoting ethical conduct via integrity-oriented strategies should also be a topic of corporate ethical culture. The main goal of this chapter therefore is to outline thoroughly the potential implications of a compliance- and integrity-oriented ethical culture. In doing this, the authors propose that the differences of a compliance- and integrity-based culture may be best understood when considered in combination with individual motivational and behavioural processes at the workplace, such as regulatory focus. Specifically, in this chapter, they (a) clarify what could be meant by preventing unethical behaviour and promoting ethical behaviour, (b) address how compliance and integrity-based ethical culture affects work-related outcomes via regulatory focus, (c) address the implications of these individual-level psychological processes for conceptions of ethical corporate culture. They finish by addressing the demand that corporate ethical culture should integrate both a compliance and an integrity orientation.","PeriodicalId":332910,"journal":{"name":"A Research Agenda for Economic Psychology","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124921903","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}

Since the 1999 Treaty of Amsterdam (Article 2 EC), gender equality has become one of the essential tasks of the European Community. Achieving gender balance within leadership ranks has been guided by social and ethical considerations, such as fairness and legality. More recently, research has provided evidence for the “business case” of gender diversity in leadership. Female presence in leadership roles has been found to be correlated with higher corporate performance, greater capitalization of talent, enhanced leadership, team performance and motivation, and other factors (Eagly, 2016). However, these outcomes are contingent upon particular conditions in which diversity can be leveraged to improve organizational outcomes (e.g., for a discussion, see Dawson, Kersley and Natella, 2016; Eagly, 2016; Post and Byron, 2015).","PeriodicalId":332910,"journal":{"name":"A Research Agenda for Economic Psychology","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116501081","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}

Most cross-sectional studies converge on reporting a small-to-moderate positive correlation between income and subjective well-being, with stronger relationships reported for life satisfaction and negative (but not positive) emotions. The effect of income on happiness has been shown in longitudinal and quasi-experimental studies as well, suggesting that rises in income might lead to gains in happiness, although the evidence for such causal effects remains weak. Seeking to understand the mechanism behind the income–happiness link, the literature has broadly relied on two theoretical perspectives: needs satisfaction and relative standards theories. According to the former, income contributes to happiness as it allows people to satisfy their needs and desires. This explanation has found support in studies showing that income has a particularly strong effect when it contributes to needs satisfaction most – in poor (vs wealthy) individuals and in residents of poor (vs wealthy) countries. According to the relative standards theories, income contributes to happiness to the extent that it allows one to make downward social comparisons. Consistent with this account, studies have shown both absolute and relative income to be positively associated with happiness. Finally, the authors document a number of important moderators and boundary conditions of the income–happiness link, including individual differences in dispositional characteristics, consumption and spending patterns. The chapter concludes by pointing to so far unresolved questions and sketching potential directions for future studies.","PeriodicalId":332910,"journal":{"name":"A Research Agenda for Economic Psychology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114388720","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}

They differentiate interventions that may promote intrinsic (pro-environmental or prosocial) motivation from those that consider extrinsic factors, such as financial incentives and reputational motivation. They also discuss how policy tools, called nudges, can affect behaviour without a substantial change in the available choice set or its associated economic incentives. They find that the effect of providing financial incentives on sustainable consumption is mixed, and that financial incentives may mobilize non-economic drivers in a similar way to nudges. These considerations invite a closer examination of what is considered intrinsic motivation in the domain of sustainable consumption and how it should be measured, as well as how green financial incentives can be structured and framed in a way that favour nudging effects as well as purely economic price effects.","PeriodicalId":332910,"journal":{"name":"A Research Agenda for Economic Psychology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116449325","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}

In other words, money is perceived as nothing more than a means of exchange. Psychological science, on the other hand, shows that the lay person’s view of money is often far removed from economic assumptions. Money may be an end in itself, influencing the world of social relations as well as intrapersonal regulations. This chapter provides insight into our understanding of the psychology of money, by summarizing the current state of the literature on money and arguing that lay theories concerning its economic (instrumental) and psychological (symbolic) meaning go far beyond understanding money as a fungible, universal, economic force that simply allows people to purchase goods. It describes how lay people assign value to money, what the factors are that might affect these subjective valuations and how these processes are different from assumptions underlying economic models of money. It reviews studies of the symbolic, non-economic functions of money and provides insight into different methods of research, including non-conscious money priming and psychometric measurement of attitudes towards money. It presents classic and recent approaches to how children understand the instrumental and symbolic nature of money, and proposes that the former is based on cognitive development while the latter is associated with social learning. Finally, it offers several potential new directions for research in the field of the psychology of money and indicates some practical implications of the findings presented.","PeriodicalId":332910,"journal":{"name":"A Research Agenda for Economic Psychology","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117209287","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}
