Work and VirtueDissertation, Temple University. 1984.The purpose of this dissertation is to refocus and reconceptualize the current discussion of meaningful work. Utilizing Alasdair MacIntyre's notion of a practice as a conceptual tool, I look at the ways in which moral values have been associated with work. Changes that occur during the industrial revolution led to a distinct separation of economic value from social and moral values. What I suggest, is that this separation of social and moral ideals from the modern experience of work has resulted…Read more

70Honest work: a business ethics reader (edited book)Oxford University Press. 2011.In today's business world, ethics is not simply a peripheral concern of executive boards or a set of supposed constraints on free enterprise.

What people do at work--and how they think about work--determines their attitudes and aspirations, affecting and even structuring their personal lives and habits. Wo…Read more

27Verizon Lecture: Why Is It So Difficult to Be an Ethical Leader?Business and Society Review 123 (2): 369-383. 2018.In some ways it is more important to understand why it is difficult for leaders to be ethical than it is to understand how to be an ethical leader. By being aware of the common temptations and moral pitfalls of leadership, leaders are better able to avoid them. Like all areas of applied ethics, leadership has its own set of problems that stem from the roles leaders play and their relationship and responsibilities to followers and others. Moreover, leadership is ethically challenging because it a…Read more

38On Getting to the Future FirstBusiness Ethics Quarterly 10 (1): 53-61. 2000.This paper will discuss the uncertainty of job tenure, inequality of wages in American business, and the challenges for a creating a new social and moral compact between employer and employee. I begin by arguing that business ethics scholars missed some of the disturbing trends in management thinking because they often focused on current problems in business rather than questioning some of the basic assumptions about the way businesses are managed. As Rochefoucauld observed (albeit in a differen…Read more

93Leadership Ethics: Mapping the TerritoryBusiness Ethics Quarterly 5 (1): 5-28. 1995.In this paper I argue that a greater understanding of the part of ethics in leadership will improve leadership studies. Debates over the definition of leadership are really debates over what researchers think constitutes good leadership. The ultimate question is not "What is leadership?" but "What is good leadership?" The word good is refers to both ethics and competence. Research into leadership ethics would explore the ethical issues of current leadership research, serve as a critical study of…Read more

31Imagination, fantasy, wishful thinking and truth: Life is translation and we are all lost in it.(clifford geertz)Business Ethics Quarterly (S1): 99-107. 1998.In “Moral Imagination and the Search for Ethical Decision-Making,” Patricia H. Werhane observes that people and institutions sometimes do unethical things because they have a narrow perspective on their situation and little in the way of moral imagination. She defines moral imagination as “an ability to imaginatively discern various possibilities for acting in a given situation and to envision the potential help and harm that are likely to result from a given action.” Werhane’s paper focuses on …Read more

The paper uses a number of examples to illustrate how the same ethical problems in business have been around for a long time. It describes early attempts at the Harvard Business School to use business history as a means of teaching students about moral and social values. In the end, the author suggests that history may be another way to…Read more

31Dressing Up Naked LeadershipBusiness and Professional Ethics Journal 32 (3-4): 271-276. 2013.This paper is a commentary on C. Richard Panico’s article “Naked Leadership: Lead to Win Hearts and Minds.” The relationship between academic and practitioner literature on leadership is symbiotic. Both approaches have their limitations. Academic theories may be impractical and practitioner’s ideas are sometimes anecdotal and highly contextual. Yet, as the paper demonstrates, the two literatures can overlap in interesting ways
