“…Ethics is moral principles that distinguish right from wrong (Beekun, 1997; Düşmezkalender et al., 2020; Papouli, 2019). Work ethic, which is an important element of the business world and commercial activities, is an important matter for enterprises, governments and researchers (Castro et al., 2020; DeTienne et al., 2019; Khan et al., 2015; Wolcott, 2020). Early research on work ethics focused on Protestant work ethic which was developed in the West by Weber (1864–1920) (Furham, 1982; Greenberg, 1977).…”

This research aims to examine the impact of intrinsic religiosity on counterproductive work behavior directed toward the organization (CWB-O) and the mediating role of Islamic work ethic in this impact. The data were collected from employees working in the hotel and restaurant industry (n = 684). The findings revealed that intrinsic religiosity had a positive and significant effect on Islamic work ethic. It was found that Islamic work ethic also had a negative and significant effect on CWB-O. Similarly, intrinsic religiosity had a negative and significant effect on CWB-O. In addition, it was identified that the Islamic work ethic had a mediating role in the impact of intrinsic religiosity on CWB-O. Taking into consideration that the relationship between intrinsic religiosity and CWB-O and the role of Islamic work ethic in this relationshiphas not yet been examined in literature, the theoretical contribution of the current research can be better understood. From the perspective of practical contribution, this research may help and guide managers to understand how intrinsic religiosity affects CWB-O.

“…First and foremost, it is important to remark that there is a skeptical view concerning the value of applying practical wisdom in terms of equipping business toward better ethics. This is more salient when one looks at the ordinary managerial decision-making in large and/or complex contexts (Wolcott, 2020). However, abound in the organizational studies examples of unwise organizations or unwise organizational practices are present whose negatives effects spillover society.…”

Purpose Anecdotal evidence suggests the growing need for wise people and organizations, which are fully dedicated to building up the greater good more than ever before. The purpose of this study is to broaden the role of wisdom by triggering an aware and genuine concern toward building wisdom capital (WC) within organizations. Design/methodology/approach First, this endeavor draws upon key issues of wisdom theory literature, namely, the nuances of its general aspects, basic components, other relevant issues and practical wisdom construct. Second, it suggests a conceptual model through which both workers and organizations may help to build up a solid WC. In addition, some research propositions are also suggested. Finally, it proposes some avenues of research and presents the conclusions. Findings The notion of WC may help individuals and organizations to keep the right path. To some degree, it reminds us that individuals exist to contribute to something greater than themselves through their potentialities, skills and capabilities. The theoretical background of WC urges the individuals to engage in meaningful projects and challenges to improve the human condition. Practical implications Seemingly, managers and CEOs still have a narrow view about what wisdom embraces. Accordingly, it is important to keep in mind that to enhance individual wisdom capital (IWC), concerted efforts are required toward human training and development to improve the organizations and their decision-making systems. Overall, this frame suggests that it is vital to accumulate a WC for the survival and thriving of individuals and organizations. As theorized, WC is a very useful, rich and sense-making form of capital to gather. Originality/value Overall, this article attempts to broaden wisdom theory within organizations by presenting the definition, meaning and scope of WC and its by-products, i.e. IWC and organizational wisdom capital. Hence, it focuses on two levels and describes specific means and ends related to each stance. At last, the proposed variables may be carefully managed and monitored to engender a new business paradigm, that is, the general well-being.

“…Vsem podjetjem, majhnim in velikim, je danes povsem jasno, da leži izhodišče za razvoj podjetja v poštenem in etičnem odnosu do kupcev, zaposlenih, dobaviteljev in investitorjev in v odgovornem odnosu do družbene skupnosti. Tematika pridobiva pa na pomenu, ker se v zadnjem času soočamo z vedno hujšimi kršitvami poslovne morale, pravnih načel in etičnega poslovanja podjetij na globalni ravni (Ciulla, 2020;Wolcott, 2020). Kupci in drugi poslovni partnerji danes enostavno ne želijo poslovati s podjetji, ki ne spoštujejo osnovnih etičnih in pravnih načel poslovanja in, ki ne obveščajo svojih kupcev, da ta načela spoštujejo.…”

The management of fishing fleets is an important factor in the sustainable exploitation of marine organisms for human consumption. Therefore, regulatory services monitor catches and limit them based on data. In this paper, we analyze North Atlantic Fishing Organization (NAFO) data on North Atlantic catches to direct the effectiveness of fishing stakeholders. Data on fishing time (month and year), equipment, location, type of catch, and, for us, the most interesting, data on the fishing effort are given, and their quality is analyzed. In the last part, The Principal Component Analysis for individual activities, among which fishing stakeholders can decide, is performed on a selected data sample. The complexity of the connections between the set of observed activities is explained by new uncorrelated variables - principal components - that are important for achieving the expected fishing catch. We find that the proportions of variance explained by the individual principal components are low, which indicates the high complexity of the topic discussed.
