Much has been written about the general moral duty to love one’s neighbors. In this article, I explore the specific application of this moral duty in the work setting. I argue from a secular perspective that individuals have the moral duty to love their stakeholders. Loving one’s stakeholders is an affective valuing of the stake-related values these stakeholders pursue and as such is the real recognition of one’s stakeholders as stakeholders and of oneself as a stakeholder of one’s stakeholders. This moral concept of stakeholder love offers promising contributions to stakeholder theory, leadership theories, and ethical theories in general and business ethics theories in particular.

关于爱邻舍的一般道德义务已经写了很多。在本文中，我探讨了这种道德义务在工作环境中的具体应用。我从世俗的角度认为，个人有道德义务去爱他们的利益相关者。爱自己的利益相关者是对这些利益相关者所追求的与利益相关的价值的情感评估，因此是真正承认自己的利益相关者是利益相关者，并真正承认自己是利益相关者的利益相关者。这种利益相关者爱的道德概念为利益相关者理论、领导理论和一般的道德理论，特别是商业道德理论提供了有希望的贡献。
