摘要: 商业丑闻或企业失德行为不仅会引发公众的不满,也会引发学术界对商业伦理问题的持续讨论。为探究企业非伦理行为产生的原因,诸多学者从商业伦理敏感性问题入手,探索企业非伦理行为形成的机理。本文剖析了伦理敏感性的内涵并从概念起源和构成要素两个角度界定了商业伦理敏感性的定义,并总结了商业伦理敏感性的测量方法。同时通过对基于不同研究对象的商业伦理敏感性的前因及其影响作用的分析,提出了商业伦理敏感性研究的整合模型。最后,提出了四个潜在的研究方向,旨在为商业伦理敏感性问题进一步的研究及企业的商业伦理建设提供参考。
Abstract: Business scandals or corporate misconduct not only provoke public dissatisfaction, but also pro-voke ongoing discussions in academia about business ethics issues. In order to explore the causes of corporate unethical behavior, many scholars start with the business ethical sensitivity to explore the mechanism of corporate unethical behavior. This paper analyzes the connotation of ethical sensitivity, defines the definition of business ethical sensitivity from the perspective of conceptual origin and constituent elements, and summarizes the measurement methods of business ethical sensitivity. At the same time, through the analysis of the antecedents and influences of business ethical sensitivity based on different research objects, an integrated model of business ethical sensitivity research is proposed. Finally, four potential research directions are proposed, which aim to provide reference for further research on the business ethical sensitivity and the construction of business ethics in enterprises.
