The basic finding uniting the researchers is that motivation is the weakest educational component, which prompted us to create and suggest a practical model of motivational competence. The project is based on the researchers’ descriptions of students’ motivational leading variables. Our main finding is lack of a value system and moral virtues in the foundation of motivation. The constructive components of the model cognition, cogitation, and skills were built on that basis. The main functional approaches in the study with the model are communication, feedback, and critical thinking. The model aims: (1) to direct teachers in creating and maintaining students’ motivation through motivational competence based on human values and virtues and (2) to strongly recommend that educational policies must pinpoint a value system and moral criteria for schools and universities so that educators can rigorously develop them in students through motivation. The contributions of the model are: (1) it is based on the crucial need for a strong value system and moral virtues in the foundation of students’ motivation and behavior; (2) it is bidirectional—developing students’ motivational competence, in parallel it increases teachers’ motivational competencies; (3) it argues that motivational competence must be the professional imperative leading to the curriculum purposes of teaching–learning process on the foundation of competence, high spiritual qualities, and morality.

“…The level of moral awareness and ethical perception of business school graduates is continuously called into question (Cory, 2015; Schneider, 2002). According to Duly (1997), the method of teaching ethics in business schools fails because ethics are taught as a reaction to events that have already occurred.…”

Professors are often the first to introduce students to career-specific ethical dilemmas. Standard teaching methods for ethical classwork are mundane, typically involving lectures and case studies; however, research concludes that students have the best results from educational experiences when able to influence course composition. The authors examine career-specific teaching methodologies as recommended by students. Through a qualitative design, students were asked how professors could help them recognize and respond to ethical dilemmas. The authors explore what new behavioral approaches hold the most promise in helping students engage in ethical training so that ethical tendencies carry beyond graduation. In a survey of 59 students, participants preferred to practice facing ethical dilemmas in a safe classroom setting to learn how to respond to challenges in professional environments. Most respondents felt that instruction was most effective when field-specific (e.g. auditing courses for accounting majors) rather than approaching ethics broadly in a general business context.

“…2000'li yılların başından itibaren kurumlarda ardı ardına gelen etik ihlallerle ilgili haberlerin çoğalması (Enron, WorldCom vb.) bu konuyla ilgilenen araştırmacıların ilgisini çekmiş ve kişilerin yaşadıkları ahlaki çözülme sürecini iş dünyasına yönelik olarak inceleme imkânı tanımıştır (Cory ve Hernandez, 2014). Bireysel öncellerin ahlaki çözülme mekanizmasında belirleyici olduğunu ifade eden çalışmaların (Detert vd., 2008) yanı sıra bazı örgütsel şartların da bu mekanizmayı tetikleyici rolü olabileceği yönünde fikirler artış göstermiştir (Claybourn, 2011;White vd., 2009).…”

Ahlaki çözülme kavramı, kişilerin, ahlaki standartlarıyla, içinde bulundukları davranışın birbirleriyle uyuşmaması neticesinde yaşamış oldukları çelişkiyi, bir takım bilişsel mekanizmaları kullanarak ortadan kaldırma çabası içine girmeleri olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu çalışmada, kurumlarda yaşanan etik dışı davranışların zeminini oluşturabileceği düşünülen ahlaki çözülme sürecinin aşamaları, hizmet sektöründe faaliyet gösteren bir kurumda gerçekleşmiş olan bir örnek olay yardımıyla derinlemesine incelenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, bu çalışmanın hem kurumlarda yaşanan ahlaki çözülme mekanizmalarına zemin oluşturabilecek öncellerin tespiti hem de konuyla ilgili alandaki az sayıdaki nitel çalışmayı destekleyici özelliği nedeniyle alan yazına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
