“…Ethical decision making begins with the recognition that a particular problem falls within the moral domain (Brady and Hatch, 1992;Jones, 1991;Rest, 1986;Trevino, 1986). The moral domain refers to the set of activities that are subject to judgments of right and wrong as opposed to judgments of personal liking or other kinds of judgments (Colby and Kohlberg, 1987).…”

ABSTRACT. In this paper, we explore the impact of individualism and collectivism on three basic aspects of ethical decision making -the perception of moral problems, moral reasoning, and behavior. We argue that the inclusion of business practices within the moral domain by the individual depends partly upon individualism and collectivism. We also propose a pluralistic approach to post-conventional moral judgment that includes developmental paths appropriate for individualist and collectivist cultures. Finally, we argue that the link between moral judgment and behavior is related to individualism and collectivism.

“…Theories are presented that aim to provide a rational and objective view of why employees do or should behave in a particular manner, but there are fewer accounts of how ethically related perceptions and judgments are constructed in organizational contexts (Painter‐Morland, ). Moreover, there are few integrating frameworks that address the interrelationships among ethical theories and concepts, or the extent to which they should apply to certain situations or roles and not others (Brady & Hatch, ). Ethical scholarship is still working on grasping the complexity of individual evaluative perceptions that are brought about by ethical pluralism, interpersonal relations, and cultural factors (Ho, ).…”

“…In the former field, the focus is on determining what is right and wrong in business decisions, often based on philosophically derived ethical theories (Crane & Matten, ). In the latter, efforts to find predictors of ethical outcomes are reflected in causal models that commonly involve three components: individual differences, a decision process, and contextual factors (Brady & Hatch, ; Treviño, Weaver, & Reynolds, ). Yet ethical outcomes are not just the sum total of static influences coming from one's predispositions or environment, but are rooted in a person's dynamic, relational, and socially constructed reality (Astley, ; Painter‐Morland, ).…”

Business Ethics: A European Review

In a field dominated by research on moral prescription (business ethics) and moral prediction (behavioral ethics), there is poor understanding of the place of moral perceptions in organizations alongside philosophical ethics and causal models of ethical outcomes. As leadership failures continue to plague organizational health and firms recognize the wide-ranging impact of subjective bias, scholars and practitioners need a renewed frame of reference from which to reconceptualize their current understanding of ethics as perceived in individuals. Based on an assessment and selection perspective from the field of human resource management, an alternative to conventional deductive-prescriptive approaches is proposed based on a pluralistic concept referred to as moral goodness. An inductive-descriptive theory-building framework is constructed based on three interrelated streams of inquiry to yield insight concerning both formal and informal instances of assessment. Recommendations are proposed for the application of the framework to future research and practice.
