Ethical Decision Making

Ethical Decision Making explores the psychological underpinnings of moral choices in the workplace, challenging the notion that ethical lapses are solely due to "bad apples." Instead, it argues that systemic decision-making flaws and predictable psychological mechanisms significantly shape ethical conduct. The book delves into cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, that cloud judgment, and examines how organizational culture, leadership styles, and incentive structures influence ethical behavior. By understanding these influences, organizations can create environments that promote ethical behavior and mitigate misconduct.

The book progresses from examining the psychological foundations of moral judgment to practical applications in organizational settings. It integrates insights from management theory, psychology, and business management, providing a comprehensive understanding of ethical decision-making. What sets this book apart is its focus on applying behavioral ethics principles to real-world challenges, offering concrete strategies for implementing ethical programs and fostering a culture of ethical conduct.

Ultimately, it equips readers with tools to identify ethical risks and design ethical incentive structures, promoting ethical conduct at all organizational levels.
