Four key variables that determine work morale have been isolated: the job itself, the work group, management practices, and economic rewards. Regular assessment and development of these key morale variables via time-tested, effective, and easy-to-use techniques will help clinical laboratory managers to attract and retain competent personnel, to enhance the prospects of organizational profitability, to sustain high-quality patient care, and to earn the respect and loyalty of other health-care employees. This article discusses the components of the four key areas of morale and offers "prescriptions" to improve morale in these important areas. A survey to assess morale is also provided.

The authors provide an interactive model of organizational innovation and integrity capacity that depicts parallel reinforcing findings at the individual, group, organizational and environmental levels of analysis. They provide level-specific, proactive queries designed to critically review and simultaneously leverage innovation and integrity capacities in the face of global technological challenges.

The HMN is an international, interdisciplinary, and nonprofit network that promotes the development of an economic system and management practices in the service of human dignity and well-being (Dierksmeier et al. 2011; von Kimakowitz et al. 2011). The Humanist Manifesto III of 2003 similarly provides overlapping principled guidance for the American Humanist Association and is particularly needed in light of the globally adverse consequences of the ‘economization’ of everyday life and the ‘financialization’ of business management in the United States (Sandel 2012; Petrick 2010; Korten 2010).

The patterns indicate that business ethics continues to flourish in North America with high levels of productivity in both quantity and quality of teaching, training and research publication outputs. Topics/themes that have been covered during the time period are treated with an acknowledgement of the concomitant marginal impact on improving ethical business behavior and contexts-as recurring domestic and global scandals attest. Major North American business ethics challenges/issues to be addressed in the future are identified.

However, this last purpose of such organizations has received the least amount of attention. Moreover, previous research has demonstrated that there are differences in perceived needs for professional ethics development between tenured and untenured faculty. In the current research 260 Academy of Management members were surveyed. The research identified differences between tenured and untenured management faculty with respect to expectations for the Academy of Management to provide ethics education and research with respect to the professional code of conduct. Implications of the findings are discussed from a developmental perspective. Directions for future research are provided.

An explanation is given on how moral competence in management practice is addressed by each dimension of the management integrity capacity construct (process, judgment, development, and system) and how Enron executive practices eroded each dimension. Specifically addressed is how behavioral and moral complexity can be utilized to balance the competing values of management and ethics theories to reduce the likelihood of future Enron‐like managerial malpractice. Finally, three positive action steps are recommended to improve managerial integrity capacity and remedies are proposed for victimized Enron stakeholders.

They recommend four areas of improved moral accountability at the microeconomic and macroeconomic levels for responsible leadership in domestic and international accounting.

The inter est in sex as an exploratory variable can be partially attributed to the increase in the number of women entering the full-time workforce and the concerns of practicing managers as to how to manage this diversity effectively (Haw, 1982). In addition, the rising costs of benefits stimulated a practical interest in the study of stress and its impact on employee health. However, as with much of the research on sex differences at work, the findings have often been inconsistent or incomplete (Powell, 1990). In recent reviews of the literature on sex differences in occupational stress (Baruch, Biener, and Barnett, 1987; Jick and Mitz, 1985; Martocchio and O'Leary, 1989), researchers concluded that little is known about how sex might interact with specific stres sors at work to produce adaptive responses. Such knowledge would be helpful in understanding and minimizing the negative physical and psychological effects of stress. The objective of the current study was to utilize an emic perspective where workers themselves identi fied the events perceived as stressful instead of responding to situa tions the researchers designated as stressful on an a priori basis in the investigation of sex differences in both the appraisal of work related stress and in the resulting process of coping.

Islamic law, or Shari\u27ah—which is derived from the holy book of Muslims, Qur\u27an, and from Sunnah, the prophet Muhammad\u27s sayings, practices, and living habits—provides legal guidelines for the political and economic systems of Islamic society. Shari\u27ah classifies every human activity into five categories: commanded, recommended, indifferent, reprehended, and prohibited. Although some conservative Muslims continue to avoid insurance products in any form, most feel that insurance can be carried out in accordance with Shari\u27ah. Currently, Shari\u27ah-compliant insurance firms exist in Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Luxembourg, Sudan, and Bahrain. The main model of private Islamic insurance is called Takafol, which resembles Western reciprocal insurance exchanges
