“…The virtue-based approach we advocate represents a shift away from our debates regarding a single definition of leadership (Kalshoven & Taylor, 2018) and our extensive generation of descriptive leadership theories (Antonakis, 2017). Because "we are not confused about what leaders do, but we would like to know the best way to do it" (Ciulla, 2004, p. 308).…”

The Virtues Project: An Approach to Developing Good Leaders

Virtue words, such as justice, fairness, care, and integrity frequently feature in organizational codes of conduct and theories of ethical leadership. And yet our modern organizations remain blemished by examples lacking virtue. The philosophy of virtue ethics and numerous extant theories of leadership cite virtues as essential to good leadership. But we seem to lack understanding of how to develop or embed these virtues and notions of good leadership in practice. In 2012, virtue ethicist Julia Annas pointed to a training program which she touted as a practical application of virtue ethics. The program Annas (2012) identified is called The Virtues Project, and while promising, she warned that in its current state, it lacked theorizing. We address this by aligning its practical strategies to extant theory and evidence to understand what virtues it might develop and how it might facilitate good leadership. Doing so makes two key contributions. First, it lends credence to The Virtues Project's potential as a leadership development program. Second, it provides a means of applying theories of good leadership in practice. Our overarching objective is to advance The Virtues Project as a means of incorporating virtues into workplace dynamics and embedding virtues in the practice of organizational leadership.

“…This implies that when managers exhibit a proclivity towards adherence to compliance measures, their actions inadvertently contribute to fostering an environment conducive to compliant behavior among their subordinates. In essence, the managers' intentional commitment towards compliance initiatives serves as an influential determinant that influences the subordinates' own intentions to adhere to the stipulated regulations and protocols, Kalshoven and Taylor (2018).…”

In the advanced field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within modern corporate frameworks, the pressing issue of non-compliance becomes increasingly crucial. Achieving the ideal balance—where one fosters consistent employee commitment without resorting to overly harsh penalties for possible violations—presents a complex problem. Such a nuanced relationship calls for a synchronized coordination among the company’s underlying factors, the principles of the Information Security Plan (ISP), and overarching compliance mandates. As companies step into a period where digital environments are in constant flux, the importance of securing information systems rises to a critical level. Against this backdrop, compliance stands out as a vital component, functioning as a stringent safeguard in the ongoing mission to protect precious digital assets—a mission comprehensively detailed within the ISP. This in-depth academic study sets out to rigorously explore and scrutinize the diverse opinions and beliefs of committed employees and insightful management concerning unwavering company alignment with the ISP. This is accomplished by defining a construct that centers on key dimensions: Organizational Culture, Personal Attitudes, Actors, Behavioral Intentions, and Motivational Dynamics. Eleven Hypotheses are outlined and represent the materialisation of the model. This model form a starting point from which future empirical exploration will be able to take place, propelling us towards a deeper understanding of the phenomena under scrutiny.

“…Hence, it is necessary to generate an effective and understanding relationship between leaders and followers that can generate synergy capable of nurturing collaboration and mutual support (Munro and Thanem 2017); when that affection and understanding increases, the relationship with others makes serendipity appear that goes beyond prediction and makes processes and solutions flow better (Fatien-Diochon et al 2018). Kalshoven and Taylor (2018) analyze the intersection of ethics and leadership under a qualitative analysis showing the philosophical perspectives in multiple published discussions of such relationships. Important variables arise with another perspective, which is studied by Lips-Wiersma et al (2020), such as responsible leadership, equity-justice and dignified work, which characterize ethical practices generating win-win scenarios, which is what is expected in organizations and companies when they want to solve opposing tendencies or conflicts; this is how it is convenient to analyze the effects created, and therefore Kim et al are mentioned, (Kim et al 2018) who focus on those generated by perceived ethics, compassionate leadership and buffering strategic communication, in this case, applied to the pervasive feeling of anti-government, which uncovers under-researched areas as a whole, where ethics in governments is fundamental.…”

“…Ethics is a broad theme that coexists everywhere in life and in the business and administration, and which proves to be essential in all areas, including leadership (Bauman 2018;Kalshoven and Taylor 2018), teamwork (Alvi et al 2020;Lyubovnikova et al 2018), effective communication (Alyammahi et al 2020;Touhidul and Sorooshian 2019) and productivity (Ebert and Freibichler 2017;Tammany et al 2019). Therefore, this current research-which possesses a high degree of novelty while compared with other studies on similar topics, can be regarded as crucial given its main focus and, also, based on the research gap that was successfully identified, namely: the opportunity to describe the implication of ethics in leadership, teamwork, effective communication, and productivity, which includes the application of ethical values as university graduates assume the role of each of the mentioned dimensions of study in the organizations.…”

The new economy and the knowledge-based society brought significant changes in all the areas of our daily lives. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 crisis implicated tremendous transformations in all the domains, on the one hand, threatening the balance of our society and, on the other hand, challenging the dynamic of the new economy development and the rhythm of the societal modernization. In these delicate times, the all-important relationship between ethics, leadership, teamwork, effective communication, productivity, and performance is brought to the attention, in particular, due to its benefits for our society, taking into consideration the pivotal advancement that a well governed relationship of this type could provide to the knowledge-based economy. The present research describes the implication of ethics in leadership, teamwork, effective communication, and productivity, which includes the application of ethical values as university graduates assume the role of each of the mentioned dimensions of study in the organizations. The absence of research that relates ethics to these four elements simultaneously was noticed. This information is essential to know how these dimensions influence the organizational level. The sample that included 410 university graduates was applied in Baja California, Mexico, and the industrial nucleus of great relevance, bordering California in the United States of America. The data was obtained using a questionnaire. A reliability and validity analysis of the measurement instrument was carried out in terms of the ethical values associated with the dimensions mentioned using the exploratory factor analysis by the principal components method. Qualitative items were also analyzed using the constant comparison method. The results obtained in this research provide a greater perspective and practical knowledge and support of usefulness and practical reality to businesspeople and employees, leaders and university graduates; and also extensive to students, teachers, and human beings in general, in order to be better prepared to give and apply solutions with their consequent ethical and productive achievements desired by all. Additionally, this current research has the purpose to raise the will to understand, at a higher level and at a more in-depth degree of knowledge, the relationship between ethics, leadership, teamwork, effective communication, productivity, and performance, in the attempt to foster a creative and innovative business environment, based on a robust and sustainable business administration and business competencies, capable to position at higher ranks the strengths, opportunities, aspirations and outcomes that today’s new economy is due to offer and diminish the dangerous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 crisis in all the domains.
