Book Review: Positive Psychology in Business Ethics and Corporate Responsibility by Robert A. Giacalone, Carole L. Jurkiewicz, Craig Dunn
Positive Psychology in Business Ethics and Corporate Responsibility
The goal of this volume is to begin to create those critical linkages between positive psychological attributes and relevant research areas. Undoubtedly, there are many topics in positive psychology that could not be covered in just one volume, and many more topical linkages to business ethics and social responsibility that need to be made. While much research yet needs to be done in this nascent area, we hope that much as other volumes on positive psychology served as an impetus for research in social psychology (see Snyder & Lopez, 2002) and organizational behavior (Cameron, Dutton, & Quinn, 2003), this volume will ignite scientific interest in the role positive psychology plays in key areas such as ethics and social responsibility. As the study of positive psychology continues to emerge more fully, it may well help us to better comprehend the impact of this paradigm on predicting ethical decision making, organizational citizenship, and social responsibility toward the end of creating more positive and productive workplaces in general.

ISBN :
Description : Projects have always been essentially human endeavours. Large modern projects are generally highly complex, fraught with technical difficulties and supported by diverse, often apparently conflicted stakeholders. The spirituality that originally defined some of the great construction projects of the classical era surely has a role in project management today. The Spirit of Project Management explains the context for spirituality in projects and explores how it can be used to create a larger sense of purpose and achievement; to help encourage an esprit de corps amongst all those involved; to act as a touchstone for ethical and sustainable decision-making. This is a very pragmatic book. The first part includes an explanation and a variety of useful models for understanding the significance and value of spirituality in projects. Judi Neal and Alan Harpham devote the second part of the book to help you integrate these ideas into your day-to-day management of projects. Thus there are chapters on spirituality from the perspective of the individual, the project team, the project organization and even project management within a sustainable world framework. Read this book, use the ideas to help you articulate your projects; engage and sustain your project team and your stakeholders; and frame how you work in terms of your organisation, society and the environment....

Publisher by : IAP
ISBN :
Description : Educating in Ethics for the Professions: A Compendium of Research, Theory, Practice, and an Agenda for the Future offers a state-of-the-art discussion on the part of applied (“professional”) ethics educators who describe the teaching of ethics for their professions and who collectively represent a wide-ranging array of professions. The volume begins with an overview of the topics, contested ideas, and challenges confronting applied ethics educators, across the generations, providing a foundation from which the concept of ethics education as an integral formation frames each contributor’s historical overview identifying how research, theory, and practice have evolved in each profession to this day. These discussions then turn to the topics, contested ideas, and challenges emerging in contemporary discourse. Each discussion culminates with suggestions regarding what ethics educators must consider for the future. The volume closes with a synthesis of the commonalities among and differences between the discussions representing diverse professional perspectives, yet framing this history as well as identifying an agenda for teaching applied ethics in the future....

Description : Unternehmerisches Handeln ist kaum mehr auf einzelne Nationalstaaten begrenzt, und so bewegt sich die Unternehmensethik heute zwangslaufig in einem interkulturellen Kontext. Da transnationale Unternehmen in verschiedenen Landern und Kulturkreisen operieren, steht die Unternehmensethik im Spannungsfeld, einerseits allgemein gultige Aussagen zu treffen, andererseits aber auch den Differenzen und unterschiedlichen Wertvorstellungen Rechnung zu tragen. In diesem Band wird der Frage nach einer Unternehmensethik in einem globalen und interkulturellen Kontext nachgegangen, wobei sowohl grundsatzliche unternehmensethische Konzepte als auch praktische Anwendungen diskutiert werden....
