Abstract

We introduce a new model of bounded ethicality which helps explain three persistent puzzles of ethical behavior: when moral awareness is or is not present, when ethical behavior is more or less consistent with past behavior, and when blind spots obscure our ethical failures. The original conception of bounded ethicality (Chugh, Banaji, & Bazerman, 2005) described the systematic psychological constraints on ethical behavior and has contributed to our field's understanding of the phenomena of everyday, “ordinary” unethical behavior. In this more detailed model, we delineate these systematic processes and mechanisms and show how concepts of automaticity, self-view, and self-threat play critical roles in our ethical decision-making. The model describes distinct, asymmetric patterns of (un)ethical behavior and pinpoints the contingency which determines which pattern is more likely to unfold, including when we will trend to more or less automaticity and more or less ethical behavior. Our model integrates and synthesizes many of the key models and findings in recent behavioral ethics research into a single, overarching model of ethical decision-making, offering an anchor for new questions and a new realm of study.

一个有界伦理的动态循环模型
我们引入了一个新的有限道德模型,它有助于解释道德行为的三个持续困惑:道德意识是否存在,道德行为与过去的行为或多或少一致,以及盲点掩盖了我们的道德失败。有限伦理的最初概念(丘格,巴纳吉,&;Bazerman(2005)描述了道德行为的系统心理约束,并有助于我们对日常“普通”不道德行为现象的理解。在这个更详细的模型中,我们描述了这些系统的过程和机制,并展示了自动性、自我观和自我威胁的概念如何在我们的道德决策中发挥关键作用。该模型描述了不同的、不对称的(非)道德行为模式,并精确地指出了决定哪种模式更有可能展开的偶然性,包括我们何时倾向于或多或少的自动性和或多或少的道德行为。我们的模型整合并综合了近期行为伦理学研究中的许多关键模型和发现,形成了一个单一的、总体的伦理决策模型,为新问题和新研究领域提供了一个锚点。

期刊介绍: Research in Organizational Behavior publishes commissioned papers only, spanning several levels of analysis, and ranging from studies of individuals to groups to organizations and their environments. The topics encompassed are likewise diverse, covering issues from individual emotion and cognition to social movements and networks. Cutting across this diversity, however, is a rather consistent quality of presentation. Being both thorough and thoughtful, Research in Organizational Behavior is commissioned pieces provide substantial contributions to research on organizations. Many have received rewards for their level of scholarship and many have become classics in the field of organizational research.
