“…Our results were consistent with previous studies that showed that the organisation’s ethical climate was strongly recognised when the education level was higher than the master’s level. 41 , 42 However, they differed from other studies that showed statistically significant differences in clinical career and position. 18 , 43 This is because most participants in this study were practitioners.…”

Background Ethical sensitivity is a prerequisite for ethical nursing practices. Efforts to improve nurses’ ethical sensitivity are required to correctly recognise ethical conflicts and for sound decision-making. Because an emerging infectious disease response involves complex ethical issues, it is important to understand the factors that influence public health nurses’ ethical sensitivity while caring for patients with COVID-19, an emerging infectious disease. Objectives This study aims to identify the relationship between nursing professionalism, the organisation’s ethical climate, and the ethical sensitivity of nurses who care for emerging infectious disease patients in Korean public health centres. Further, it sought to identify factors influencing ethical sensitivity and the mediating effect of the organisational ethical climate to inform guidelines and improve ethical sensitivity. Research design This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Participants and research context Data were collected from February 3 to 8 March 2021. Participants included 167 nurses caring for patients with COVID-19 in public health centres in South Korea. Ethical consideration This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Chung-Ang University and followed the principles of research ethics. Results The factors influencing ethical sensitivity were working at a COVID-19 disease direct response department, nursing professionalism, and organisation’s ethical climate. The organisation’s ethical climate showed a partial mediating effect on the influence of nursing professionalism on ethical sensitivity. Conclusion Our findings show that nurses’ ethical sensitivity can be improved by refining the organisation’s ethical climate and nursing professionalism.

“…In addition, JS among individual members is affected by the ethical climate within organizations. Noh et al (2013) reported that a social responsibility-oriented culture was the most important factor to positively impact nurses' JS and personal commitment toward their organization. Such culture within the organization has a greater impact than either law-and rule-oriented atmosphere or a procedure-emphasized climate.…”

PurposeThis study aims examine to what extent four variable categories of individual ethical ideology, organizational ethical culture, superior's ethical quality and job satisfaction (JS) are causally linked to personal (un)ethical behaviors among South Korean police officers.Design/methodology/approachWith a stratified sampling technique, 687 surveys were collected from 16 major local police headquarters across the nation. The reliability and validity of the variables were checked. The structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the hypotheses.FindingsIdealism, principlism, utilitarianism and JS have a negative influence on unethical behaviors, whereas superior's unethical standards are positively associated with unethical behaviors.Practical implicationsThe findings can be applied as a reference to improve ethical framework to promote behaviors by enriching the higher level of personal ethical ideology, superior's ethical quality and principlism and utilitarianism by adding an ethics training course to the continuing education program for all officers and developing further education programs for police leadership to raise ethical awareness and quality.Originality/valueTo the authors' knowledge, the study is among the first studies with four comprehensive categories of relevant variables and adds understanding to (un)ethical behaviors of police officers.

“…This association between "unethical conduct by caregivers" and "administration" is original in the present study. Reduction of moral distress related to administration such as "improvement of ethical climate" (Noh, Jung, & Lee, 2013), "leadership style" (de Veer et al, 2013), and "organizations help to improve nurses' efficacy such that nurses raise their voice" (Rathert, May, & Chung, 2016) may increase job satisfaction.…”

Moral distress of psychiatric nurses may affect their job satisfaction or quality of nursing care, thus examination of their moral distress is a significant issue for practice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of moral distress and job satisfaction, and association between moral distress and job satisfaction. One hundred and thirty nurses who worked in psychiatric wards in a hospital in Japan completed the Moral Distress Scale for psychiatric nurses (MDS-P) and the Job Satisfaction scale (JS). The MDS-P consisted of subdomains such as "unethical conduct by caregivers," "low staffing," and "acquiescence to violations of patients' rights" in intensity and frequency; the JS consisted of seven subcategories. An institutional review board in the researcher's college approved this study. Results showed that the "acquiescence to violations of patients' rights" was the highest of the subdomains of MDS-P, and the "interactions among nurses" was the highest of the subdomains of the JS. The unethical conduct by caregivers (MDS-P) score was negatively correlated with administration (JS) for intensity (r =-.40, p < .001) and frequency (r = .37, p < .001). Moreover "acquiescence to violations of patients' rights (MDS-P)" was also negatively correlated with the "task requirement (JS)" score for intensity (r =-0.49, p < .001) and for frequency (r =-0.50, p < .001). These results suggest that reduction of moral distress increases job satisfaction particularly for administration and task requirement in nursing care.
