The same person can make different moral judgments about the same activity in their professional role and in their personal life. For example, people may follow a different moral code when making purchases at work compared with in their private lives. This potential difference has largely remained unexamined. This study explores differences in felt moral responsibility in workplace and private purchasing settings, regarding the impacts of purchasing decisions on supply chain workers, and explores the influence of personal values and ethical work climate. The case of a high-profile university in the United Kingdom is studied, which has made strong commitments to socially responsible public procurement. Based on a survey of 318 university staff who make purchases at work, stronger moral values related to harm/care are associated with higher felt responsibility in personal purchasing than in workplace purchasing, whereas less strong harm/care values are associated with higher felt responsibility in workplace purchasing than personal purchasing. In relation to ethical work climate, detailed awareness of organizational ethical procurement commitments is found to be associated with higher felt responsibility in workplace purchasing and is also found to increase the discrepancy between workplace and personal felt responsibility, increasing felt responsibility in the workplace but not in personal purchasing. These findings demonstrate the influence of individual and contextual factors on felt responsibility across different roles. Recommendations are made for further empirical research on felt responsibility across roles and additional internal communication on social responsibility for devolved public procurement contexts.

同一个人可以在其职业角色和个人生活中对同一活动做出不同的道德判断。例如，人们在工作中购物时与在私人生活中可能遵循不同的道德准则。这种潜在的差异在很大程度上仍未得到检验。本研究探讨了工作场所和私人采购环境中道德责任感的差异，以及采购决策对供应链工人的影响，并探讨了个人价值观和道德工作氛围的影响。研究了英国一所知名大学的案例，该大学对社会责任公共采购做出了坚定的承诺。根据对 318 名在工作中购物的大学员工的调查，与伤害/关怀相关的更强的道德价值观与个人购买相比在工作场所购买中的责任感更高，而在工作场所购买中与个人购买相比，不太强烈的伤害/关怀价值观与更高的责任感相关。在道德工作氛围方面，组织道德采购承诺的详细意识被发现与工作场所采购中更高的责任感相关，并且还发现增加了工作场所和个人感觉责任之间的差异，增加了工作场所的责任感，但没有增加工作场所的责任感。个人采购。这些发现证明了个人和背景因素对不同角色的责任感的影响。
