“…Discussions of animal rights including Regan's philosophy have been published in Chinese literature (e.g., 田錦宏, 2019). In the West, zoos primarily follow a utilitarian ethic where zoo animals are valued for their contribution to education and genetically sustainable populations (European Commission, 1999), but Chinese ethics based on Confucianism may value principles of benevolence more highly (Fuse et al, 2010). Themes of animal care and protection came across in interviews of Chinese zoo staff described in previous research (Bacon et al, 2021b) and align with the beliefs expressed by Chinese respondents in this cluster.…”

Beliefs influence the intentions of people to behave in certain ways towards animals. This study presents survey responses from 237 people working in zoos in China and Europe and describes their demographic characteristics. It explores their beliefs about zoo animal behaviour, welfare and ethical issues, and zoo practices, using a survey methodology. These beliefs may be influenced by individual demographic or cultural factors such as age, gender and region of employment, as well as experiential or situative 'norms' within the work environment. Beliefs were significantly influenced by the region of employment with Chinese respondents beliefs being significantly different to beliefs from respondents in the United Kingdom or the rest of Europe. Hierarchical cluster analysis of the survey generated clusters of people from both regions who indicated positive beliefs about zoo animal welfare as well as clu sters indicating a lack of understanding of some zoo animal welfare issues. In addition, a cluster suggesting cognitive dissonance between beliefs about animals welfare and zoo practices was generated from Chinese responses.Factor analysis identified that prioritisation of in-situ conservation within good animal welfare was a key feature in Chinese respondents, whereas European beliefs prioritising in-situ conservation were distinct from those on supporting good animal welfare. This paper identifies similarities and differences in beliefs about zoo animal welfare and zoo husbandry practices between Europe and China, and discusses the underlying norms and values that these beliefs may reflect.

“…We are reminded by the contributors to this collection that the dominant research ethics that govern social science research remains more appropriate to the context in which they were developedmedicine in the global north (Fuse, Land, & Lambiase, 2010). The Westernised values that underpin ethics committees and regulations globally need to be revised so that they fit with the social realities of the global south.…”

“…These extra-financial issues include the ethics of executive compensation from an Islamic perspective and the performance perspective of executive compensation from a human capital management perspective. This paper extends the body of knowledge on the non-utilitarianism perspective of business ethics (Micewski and Troy, 2007;Fuse et al, 2010) based upon a definition of utilitarian ethics below (Bailey and Porter, 2008, p. 24):…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to illuminate issues surrounding executive compensation as it relates to current understandings of Islamic business law. Design/methodology/approach -The emerging bodies of literature in the fields of executive compensation and opinions of stock options under Shari'a law are reviewed.Findings -It appears that the trend in offering employee stock options as part of a Shari'a compliant compensation package is acceptable in most cases, yet because of its close association with the more problematic idea of derivative transactions, the company must be vigilant in obtaining the approval from its Shari'a Standards Board before offering it as part of an overall compensation package. Research limitations/implications -Existing quantitative data in this area are limited. Given the qualitative, exploratory nature of the design, generalizability is not as robust as other designs. Practical implications -The paper makes recommendations about the inclusion of employee stock options as part of a Shari'a compliant executive compensation package. Originality/value -This paper advances the extant literature on the ethics of executive compensation in general as well as adding to the extant literature on Shari'a compliance of executive compensation packages.
