Holistic view of unethical pro-organizational behavior: literature review
Organization Psychology, 2022
Purpose. The current study intends to use the published literature to explore the emergence and limitations of construct, specifically those that are unethical yet beneficial to the organization. Approach. We conducted an extensive literature review of 46 published papers between 2010 and 2020 using multiple sources such as Web of Science and Scopus. Findings. Literature addressed two essential characteristics of unethical behavior within an organization. Initially, market intensity, followed by misleading favorable to hierarchical behavior, is known as unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). Findings also suggest that to eliminate such behavioral inclinations, organizations should clearly communicate their values and goals. Implications for practice. The current study has a lot of management implications. As past literature implies that employees are more likely to engage in UPB, firms must ensure that systems are in place to limit the chance that workers would engage in such conduct, considering it is the potential to harm an organization's reputation.
Exploring Antecedents of Unethical Business Decisions
American Journal of Business Education, 2020
Adhering to recent arguments that unethical decision making is driven by the underlying psychological processes, the purpose of this study is to investigate the role of individual psychographics (i.e., cognitive style, decision confidence, emotional intelligence, and attitude toward risk) in ethical decision making within a business context. Using a novel approach, the researchers capture ethical decision making using a computer-simulated market context and couple the results with survey data. The results of the regression analysis reveal that an individual's cognitive style, decision confidence, emotional intelligence, and attitude toward risk play a significant role in ethical decision making. Participants with an analytical cognitive style were less likely to engage in unethical means to accomplish business objectives compared to those with intuitive or adaptive cognitive styles. Similarly, greater confidence in decision making, higher emotional intelligence, and a greater preference for risk were also found to increase the chances that an individual avoids engaging in unethical decision making. Finally, the effect of cognitive style was found to be stronger than the other factors examined in this research. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Big Five personality traits and ethical climate: A test of antecedents of unethical behaviour
Journal of Education for Business, 2020
This study investigated the impact of Big-Five personality traits and ethical climate on unethical behavior. We tested our model on a sample of 203 B-School students. The results show that agreeableness, conscientiousness, and ethical climate are negatively associated with unethical behavior. However, the present study does not provide empirical support for the theorized relationships of openness to experience, extroversion, and neuroticism with unethical behavior. KEYWORDS Big-five personality traits; ethical climate; unethical behavior Literature review and hypotheses development Unethical behavior We define unethical behavior as any "voluntary behavior that violates significant organizational norms and, in so doing, threatens the well-being of the organization, its members, or both" (Robinson & Bennett, 1995; p. 556). Unethical behavior is that type CONTACT Navin Kumar Koodamara
Many answers have been given to the question 'Why do organizational members behave unethically?' Each answer has induced its own set of solutions to tackle unethical behavior. Among others, two streams focus on the individual actor by either proposing control and sanction mechanisms to frame the manager’s self-interested attitude or by aiming at educating people into moral agents capable of recognizing ethical issues and of acting accordingly. Two further streams focus on the actor’s context. They target organizational culture and codes of conduct or the broader institutional framework's influence. While these four streams are most often held separate, I argue that they all show specific strengths and weaknesses that can be combined to address at best the diverse situations and to frame the various actors' attitudes. A framework that integrates the four approaches of unethical behavior might therefore represent the most efficient approach to unethical behavior by covering multiple time frames, situations, and organizational member personalities. This article discusses such a framework and the specific contributions each approach can make to the other three within it. Implications for management and business ethics are also exposed in the light of various ethical issues in business.
TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF ETHICS ON RISK MANAGEMENT DECISIONS
TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF ETHICS ON RISK MANAGEMENT DECISIONS, 2024
Reason for writing: The paper explored the relationship between ethics and risk management decisions. It explored various ethical frameworks. The other factors whose influence was studied are stakeholder perspective, influence of regulatory framework, and financial aspects. Throughout this chapter, a significant gap was identified. It was observed that there is a lack of understanding regarding the practical applications of ethics in the risk management process. In the landscape of ethical decision-making process of risk management which contributes effectively to the risk mitigation of the organisation. Problem: This study used a research approach that incorporates positivist, phenomenological, and case study methodologies, as well as a positivist research philosophy and a quantitative methodology. The target population is limited to 51 respondents chosen for their different risk management perspectives. Specifically, regression analysis is the most important for quantitative insights. Validity of content and t-test reliability are also discussed. Limitations include restrictions on the population and possible biases. These are handled with careful wording and ethical considerations. Methodology: Probability sampling, specifically stratified sampling, ensures that diverse subgroups are represented. Non-probability sampling uses snowball sampling that takes advantage of social relationships that are already established. The study instrument uses a systematic questionnaire for the collection of quantitative data. Additionally, it also uses in-depth interviews for qualitative insights. Pilot research is conducted before the distribution of questionnaires by email. It allows for more reach and efficient data collection over four weeks. Data analysis like descriptive and inferential statistics plays important roles. Results: In this study with 51 responses, the majority fall between ages 25-34 (37.3%), indicating a notable presence of individuals in their late twenties and early thirties. Regarding orientation, a different blend includes males (41.2%), females (33.3%), and non-binary individuals (17.6%). Income distribution shows 27.5% earn under $30,000, providing insights into varied financial backgrounds. Ethical considerations strongly influence decisions for 39.2%, emphasising their significance. By observing on the effectiveness of ethical training vary, with 29.4% finding it exceptionally effective. Opinions differ on how well organisations integrate morals into risk management. Implications: Ethical leadership's impact on risk reduction is seen decidedly by 52.9%. Regarding involving others in managing ethical risks, opinions vary, with 29.4% uncertain. Stakeholder trust in ethical risk management has blended responses, with 29.4% strongly agreeing. Employees' awareness of ethical considerations shows a split view. Ethical leaders significantly influence decisions, with 37.3% strongly agreeing. The probability of employees actively reporting risks in a strong ethical culture is emphasised by 35.3%. The study reveals assorted perspectives on ethics, risk management, and organisational culture. Firstly, the report focuses on the ethics theory which is Deontological ethics shapes risk management decisions by emphasising universal moral duties and encouraging ethical behaviour, despite potential results. Secondly, the risk management theory of prospect theory examines the individual's decision regarding the gains or losses. Then it moved to the active integration of the ethical principles into risk management which fostered value-driven trust among the stakeholders. Hence, organisation can effectively mitigate the risk factors through informed and aligned strategies which help to cultivate a positive work environment in the workplace.
The Moral Business Tone of Organizations and Its Impact on The Ethical Decision Making of Employees
Academy of Taiwan Business Management Review
This study involves a first attempt to examine ethical climate types and corporate ethical values and their impacts on ethical decision-making of employees in the oil and gas industry in Australia. A survey methodology is used and results indicate that employees’ perceptions about their organizations’ extant moral tone and punishment systems significantly influence ethical judgments. However, there is no evidence that oil and gas company managers demonstrate unethical behaviour rather it appears that such behaviour is strongly admonished by management. Ethical climate types per se do not appear to be significantly.different from expectations for mature industry firms and are not associated with decision-making.
British Journal of Management, 2011
Management and businesses in general are constantly facing important ethical challenges. In the current special issue, we identify the widespread emergence of unethical decision-making and behaviour in management as an important topic for a future research agenda. Specifically, we promote the use of a behavioural business ethics approach to better understand when management, leaders and businesses are inclined to act unethically and why this is the case. A behavioural business ethics approach which relies on important insights from psychology should be a necessary addition and complementary to the traditional normative approaches used in business ethics.
Unethical Pro-organizational Behavior (UBP): Concept and Studies Evolution
Science Journal of Business and Management, 2016
Unethical Pro-organizational Behavior was many times neglected in the organizational literature. But in the past few years, the phenomenon was introduced in the domain of organizational behavior and figures nowadays among the trendy topics of scientific interest. Several organizational scholars have conducted researches exploring the construct, and more and more scholarly papers about UPB have been published up to the current day. The present study has been developed based on examination and summary of the major works completed on Unethical Pro-organizational Behavior in order to trace the evolution of its concept since its infancy. Additionally, the paper gives readers a general review of Unethical Pro-Organizational Behavior studies.
