“…Individual variables including commitment to moral self-improvement (Kurpis et al 2008), MA (Wurthmann 2013), idealism and relativism (Kolodinsky et al 2010;Park, 2005;Singhapakdi et al 2008;Vitell et al 2003), spirituality and materiality (Kolodinsky et al 2010), country of residence (Shafer et al 2007;Vitell and Paolillo 2004), universalism/benevolence (Shafer et al 2007), power distance, uncertainty avoidance, Confucian dynamism (Vitell et al 2003) and perception of recent corporate bankruptcies (Elias 2004) have all been shown to have significant associations with PRESOR. Similarly, at an organisational level perception of employers ethics (Pettijohn et al 2008;Valentine and Fleischman 2008), institutionalisation of ethics and the existence of codes of ethics (Singhapakdi and Vitell 2007;Vitell et al 2003), the existence of transformational leadership (Groves and LaRocca 2011a) and perceived corporate ethical values (Singhapakdi et al 2008) have each been shown to have significant associations with PRESOR.…”

“…Comparison is made to solutions identified by Cameron et al (2011) for OV as it is the sole published study using this scale and Reynolds (2008) for the MA scale as the findings of existing studies replicate his structure. Wurthmann's (2013) model that results in two dimensions focusing on stakeholder and stockholder perspectives is adopted for CFA of PRESOR as it is an up to date study that presents dimensions that are representative of solutions across published studies.…”

Organisational Virtue, Moral Attentiveness, and the Perceived Role of Ethics and Social Responsibility in Business: The Case of UK HR Practitioners

Examination of the application of virtue ethics to business has only recently started to grapple with the measurement of virtue frameworks in a practical context. This paper furthers this agenda by measuring the impact of virtue at the level of the organisation and examining the extent to which organisational virtue (OV) impacts on moral attentiveness (MA) and the perceived role of ethics and social responsibility in creating organisational effectiveness (PRESOR). It is argued that people who operate in more virtuous organisational contexts will be expected to be more attentive to ethical issues and in turn perceive a greater role for ethics and social responsibility in business. Analysis of results based on a sample of 137 HR professionals shows that where people report that their organisation provides meaningful work, they are more likely to display reflective MA and the belief that ethics and social responsibility are compatible with business objectives, suggesting that organisations who are interested in promoting an ethical culture should focus on their work structures and practices. More generally, OV is shown to have a more complex relationship with PRESOR than hypothesised pointing towards a more nuanced view of OV. The paper examines the implications of the results for organisations and research.

“…El contexto, la cultura, la edad y el género son algunos de ellos. Este último es uno de los elementos que han sido debatidos y es recurrente en la presente revisión (Jonson et al, 2016(Jonson et al, , 2015Wang y Calvano, 2015;Wurthmann, 2013;Ritter, 2006;Gilligan, 1985). Por ejemplo, Wang y Calvano (2015), en una investigación con estudiantes del área de administración, plantean la relación entre género y juicio moral, el impacto de la formación en ética organizacional y las relaciones entre las características personales y la moralidad.…”

ResumenEste artículo identifica las tendencias de investigación sobre la formación en ética en las organizaciones. La metodología combina la búsqueda sistemática con la narrativa. La sistemática se realiza a través de la plataforma web Tree of Science que permite clasificar artículos con base en redes de citación bibliográfica. Se resaltan cuatro tendencias de investigación: 1) aspectos pedagógicos para la formación en ética en las organizaciones; 2) incidencia del género en la formación en ética en las organizaciones; 3) relaciones entre la formación en ética en las organizaciones y la toma de decisiones éticas y 4) relaciones entre la formación en ética y la cultura organizacional ética. Se concluye que los aspectos pedagógicos son los que han recibido mayor atención por los investigadores, mientras que las relaciones entre la formación en ética y la cultura organizacional ética aún no han sido estudiadas con suficiencia, encontrándose aquí una línea de investigación prometedora. Palabras clave: ética; ética organizacional; formación en ética; enseñanza de la etica Ethics Training in Organizations: Literature Review AbstractThis paper identifies research trends about ethics training in organizations. The methodology combines the systematic search with the narrative. Systematic search is done through the web platform Tree of Science, which allows papers classification based on bibliographic citation networks. Four trends research are highlighted: 1) pedagogical aspects for ethics training in organizations; 2) impact of gender in ethics training in organizations; 3) relationship between ethics training in organizations and ethical decision-making; and 4) relationships between ethics training in organizations and ethical organizational cultures. In conclusion, the pedagogical aspects are those that have received most attention by researchers, while relationships between ethics training in organizations and ethical organizational cultures have not been enough studied, finding here a promising line of research.

“…Some scholars have used so-called PRESOR scales-Perceived Role of Ethics and Social Responsibility (Singhapakdi et al 1996), for example, to investigate the link between corporate managers' beliefs and attitudes regarding CSR and corporate governance, and CSR practices (Godos-Díez et al 2011), or the link between moral attentiveness, business ethics education and beliefs about ethics and social responsibility in business (Wurthmann 2013).…”

CSR and Related Terms in SME Owner–Managers’ Mental Models in Six European Countries: National Context Matters

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As a contribution to the emerging field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) cognition, this article reports on the findings of an exploratory study that compares SME owner-managers' mental models with regard to CSR and related concepts across six European countries (Belgium, Italy, Norway, France, UK, Spain). Utilising Repertory Grid Technique, we found that the SME ownermanagers' mental models show a few commonalities as well as a number of differences across the different country samples. We interpret those differences by linking individual cognition to macro-environmental variables, such as language, national traditions and dissemination mechanisms. The results of our exploratory study show that nationality matters but that classifications of countries as found in the comparative capitalism literature do not exactly mirror national differences in CSR cognition and that these classifications need further differentiation. The findings from our study raise questions on the universality of cognition of academic management concepts and warn that promotion of responsible business practice should not rely on the use of unmediated US American management terminology.
