Abstract Research suggests that institutions affect the levels of corruption in a country.

We use a novel approach to theoretically conceptualise and empirically operationalise institutions along

How Corporate Social (Ir)Responsibility Influences Employees’ Private Prosocial Behavior: An Experimental Study Journal of Business Ethics (IF 6.331) Pub Date : 2024-02-01
Abstract The micro-level corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature has broadly demonstrated the effects of CSR on employees’ behavior but has mostly been limited to employees’ behavior within the work domain. This business-centered focus overlooks the potential of organizations to change employees’ private social and environmental behavior and thus to address grand societal challenges. Based

Well-founded judgments are promoted by epistemic virtues, and for organizations, epistemic virtues are arguably achieved through organizational good epistemic practices. But how are such practices to be developed? This paper

A Contractarian Approach to Actuarial Fairness Journal of Business Ethics (IF 6.331) Pub Date : 2024-01-20 Antonio J. Heras, Pierre-Charles Pradier, David Teira
We defend, from a contractarian perspective, that the fair price of an insurance policy is the amount that the contracting parties agree when they are both equally uncertain about the insured event. Drawing on the approach developed by R. Sugden in The Community of Advantage, we answer two standard objections raised against contractarianism in the actuarial sciences: (1) people are not wise enough

Concerns over the organising of food are widespread, stemming from unsustainable production practices that focus on extractive ‘use’ of resources that privilege wealth creation over planetary flourishing, care and well-being. We propose a conceptual framework based on ecologies of care to assist in the re-entanglement of food systems. The concept of ecologies of care brings together theoretical understandings

Totally Administered Heteronomy: Adorno on Work, Leisure, and Politics in the Age of Digital Capitalism Journal of Business Ethics (IF 6.331) Pub Date : 2023-11-28 Craig Reeves, Matthew Sinnicks
This paper aims to demonstrate the contemporary relevance of Adorno’s thought for business ethicists working in the critical tradition by showing how his critique of modern social life anticipated, and offers continuing illumination of, recent technological transformations of capitalism. It develops and extrapolates Adorno’s thought regarding three central spheres of modern society, which have seen
