This study compares the impact of moral stress with other job stressors on three important employee variables—fatigue, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions—by utilizing survey data from 305 customer-contact employees of a financial institution’s call center. Statistical analysis on the interaction of moral stress and the three employee variables was performed while controlling for other typ…Read more

    Toward a Theory of Stakeholder Salience in Family Firms
    with Ronald K. Mitchell, James J. Chrisman, and Laura J. Spence
    Business Ethics Quarterly 21 (2): 235-255. 2011.
    The notion of stakeholder salience based on attributes (e.g., power, legitimacy, urgency) is applied in the family business setting. We argue that where principal institutions intersect (i.e., family and business); managerial perceptions of stakeholder salience will be different and more complex than where institutions are based on a single dominant logic. We propose that (1) whereas utilitarian power is more likely in the general business case, normative power is more typical in family business…Read more

    Co-evolving: Judaism and biology
    Zygon 46 (2): 429-445. 2011.
    Abstract.

Using Judaism as a focus, this essay examines ways that contemporary evolutionary theory offers room for balancing freedom and constraint, serendipity and intentionality in ways fruitful to Jewish thought and expression. This essay then looks at a productive integration of …Read more

    with S. Duane Hansen, Michael E. Brown, Christine L. Jackson, and Benjamin B. Dunford
    Journal of Business Ethics 115 (3): 435-449. 2013.
    In this study, we comprehensively examine the relationships between ethical leadership, social exchange, and employee commitment. We find that organizational and supervisory ethical leadership are positively related to employee commitment to the organization and supervisor, respectively. We also find that different types of social exchange relationships mediate these relationships. Our results suggest that the application of a multifoci social exchange perspective to the context of ethical leade…Read more

    Mapping our progress: Identifying, categorizing and comparing universities' ethics infrastructures (review)
    with Patricia C. Kelley and Jason DeMott
    Journal of Academic Ethics 3 (2-4): 205-229. 2005.
    Ethics researchers have scrutinized ethical business problems, which have been demonstrated through the actions of managers at Enron, WorldCom, and Arthur Andersen, among others. In response to these business transgressions, the US government has implemented the Sarbanes–Oxley Act to shore up businesses’ ethics infrastructures. However, universities, too, struggle with ethics problems. These include NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) violations, discrimination issues, sexual harassm…Read more

    with Marc-Charles “M.-C.” Ingerson and Katie A. Liljenquist
    Proceedings of the International Association for Business and Society 24 6-17. 2013.
    Everybody negotiates. But not everybody negotiates ethically. One driver of unethical negotiation behavior is power. Yet, we still haven’t discovered the principalmoderating and mediating influences between power and ethical negotiation behavior. In this pair of experimental studies we’re interested in finding out how resilience and moral identity affect an individual’s ethical behavior in both simple and complex negotiations when primed for power
