Abstract

Organisational leaders mismanaging business affairs are guided by performance pressures and/or greed while pressurising employees to follow. Unethical activities have led to stakeholder losses, with no accountability by individuals perpetuating the fraud. Corporate governance frameworks and subsequent reforms have been used merely as tick box measures, proving them inefficient in numerous corporate collapses. This study intends to explore and analyse the roles of personal and collective virtues in corporate citizenship. Developing from the virtues theory and using a mixed method of three focus group discussions and a self-administered questionnaire of 119 participants from various organisations, the authors establish that personal virtues are important to portray ethical individualism. However, in a corporate setting, collective virtues are more important to enhance corporate citizenship, through ethical culture and collective accountability.

集体和个人美德在企业公民和商业成功中的作用:混合方法方法

摘要组织领导者对商业事务的管理不善是受到绩效压力和/或贪婪的引导，同时迫使员工跟随。不道德的活动导致了利益相关者的损失，而个人没有对欺诈行为承担责任。公司治理框架和随后的改革仅仅被用作复选框措施，证明它们在众多公司倒闭中效率低下。本研究旨在探讨和分析个人美德和集体美德在企业公民中的作用。从美德理论出发，采用三个焦点小组讨论和来自不同组织的119名参与者的自我管理问卷的混合方法，作者确立了个人美德对描绘道德个人主义的重要性。然而，在企业环境中，通过道德文化和集体责任，集体美德对于增强企业公民意识更为重要。

期刊介绍： The Asian Journal of Business Ethics (AJBE) publishes original articles from a wide variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives concerning ethical issues related to business in Asia, including East, Southeast and South-central Asia. Like its well-known sister publication Journal of Business Ethics, AJBE examines the moral dimensions of production, consumption, labour relations, and organizational behavior, while taking into account the unique societal and ethical perspectives of the Asian region. The term ''business'' is understood in a wide sense to include all systems involved in the exchange of goods and services, while ''ethics'' is understood as applying to all human action aimed at securing a good life. We believe that issues concerning corporate responsibility are within the scope of ethics broadly construed. Systems of production, consumption, marketing, advertising, social and economic accounting, labour relations, public relations and organizational behaviour will be analyzed from a moral or ethical point of view. The style and level of dialogue involve all who are interested in business ethics - the business community, universities, government agencies, non-government organizations and consumer groups.The AJBE viewpoint is especially relevant today, as global business initiatives bring eastern and western companies together in new and ever more complex patterns of cooperation and competition.
