“…Numerous prior studies have examined the relationship between ethics and blockchain technology, with researchers asserting that the accounting and finance sector is particularly susceptible to ethics stemming from blockchain technology [36][37][38]. Therefore, it is essential that all stakeholders possess an understanding of ethical challenges, while also acknowledging the benefits of utilizing blockchain technology [39]. Moreover, ethical values must be taken into consideration by blockchain technology, and applications based on a blockchain must comply with ethical principles.…”

The main aim of this study was to investigate the impact of blockchain technology, business ethics, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on social sustainability. Additionally, this study sought to explore how CSR and business ethics serve as mediators in shaping these impacts. This study collected data from employees in the banking sector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), using a purposive sampling technique. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and a questionnaire was developed to gather responses from 416 participants. The usable response rate was 62.67%. This study utilized structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS as a tool to analyze the data. The results of this study indicate that blockchain technology has a positive influence on CSR, business ethics, and social sustainability. Additionally, CSR and business ethics have a positive effect on social sustainability. This study confirms the mediating role of business ethics and CSR. These findings can be useful for bank officials and academic decisionmakers in developing strategies.

“…Addition-ally, brokering systems with Blockchain technology can both improve the quality of patient care and reduce the cost of care with targeted safe sharing of healthcare data as shown in [27]. To overcome the limitations in a centralized architecture of health information sharing such as high dependence on network connectivity and a single point of failure, authors in [28] propose the use of a Blockchain solution. Their approach uses distributed ledger technologies to facilitate multi-site, collaborative studies in the data-intensive sciences such as genetics/ genomics, and enables auditability through single institutional ethics review in their Blockchain platform.…”

Healthcare innovations are increasingly becoming reliant on high variety and standards-compliant (e.g., HIPAA, common data model) distributed data sets that enable predictive analytics. Consequently, health information systems need to be developed using cooperation and distributed trust principles to allow protected data sharing between multiple domains or entities (e.g., health data service providers, hospitals and research labs). In this paper, we present a novel health information sharing system viz., HonestChain that uses Blockchain technology to allow organizations to have incentive-based and trustworthy cooperation to either access or provide protected healthcare records. More specifically, we use a consortium Blockchain approach coupled with chatbot guided interfaces that allow data requesters to: (a) comply with data access standards, and (b) allow them to gain reputation in a consortium. We also propose a reputation scheme for creation and sustenance of the consortium with peers using Requester Reputation and Provider Reputation metrics. We evaluate HonestChain using Hyperledger Composer in a realistic simulation testbed on a public cloud infrastructure. Our results show that our HonestChain performs better than the state-of-the-art requester reputation schemes for data request handling, while choosing the most appropriate provider peers. We particularly show that HonestChain achieves a better tradeoff in metrics such as service time and request resubmission rate. Additionally, we also demonstrate the scalability of our consortium platform in terms of the Blockchain transaction times.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is fourfold: first, to provide the first systematic study on the ethics of blockchain, mapping its main socio-technical challenges in technology and applications; second, to identify ethical issues of blockchain; third, to propose a conceptual framework of blockchain ethics study; fourth, to discuss ethical issues for stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach The paper employs literature research, research agenda and framework development. Findings Ethics of blockchain and its applications is essential for technology adoption. There is a void of research on blockchain ethics. The authors propose a first theoretical framework of blockchain ethics. Research agenda is proposed for future search. Finally, the authors recommend measures for stakeholders to facilitate the ethical adequacy of blockchain implementations and future Information Systems (IS) research directions. This research raises timely awareness and stimulates further debate on the ethics of blockchain in the IS community. Originality/value First, this work provides timely systematic research on blockchain ethics. Second, the authors propose the first research framework of blockchain ethics. Third, the authors identify key research questions of blockchain ethics. Fourth, this study contributes to the understanding of blockchain technology and its societal impacts.
