Prior ethics studies highlight the importance of understanding positive or negative leader personality characteristics to improve organizational outcomes. However, few studies combine both positive and negative leader personality characteristics, to unpack and guide ethics theorizations. This lack of methodological balance restricts how we perceive leader ethics, our understandings of organizational experiences, and therefore, our awareness of governance approaches. This study challenges the dominant ethics scholarly orthodoxy—which focuses on positive or negative leader characteristics—by combining self-determination theory and the Dark Triad perspective, to explore the plurality of ethical dimensions within organizational leadership. A case example is provided to highlight the need for this methodological awareness and four avenues of engagement are discussed to improve future organizational governance and ethics scholarship.

同一个性硬币的两个方面：重新关注（不）道德分析的机会

先前的伦理研究强调了理解积极或消极的领导者人格特征以改善组织成果的重要性。然而，很少有研究将积极和消极的领导者人格特征结合起来，来解开和指导伦理理论。这种方法论平衡的缺乏限制了我们如何看待领导者道德、我们对组织经验的理解，从而限制了我们对治理方法的认识。本研究通过结合自决理论和黑暗三合会的观点，探索组织领导中的多个道德维度。提供了一个案例来强调这种方法意识的必要性，并讨论了四种参与途径，以改善未来的组织治理和道德学术。
