| Abstract Text | The financial crisis and recurring corporate ethics scandals have led to an immense loss of public trust in reputation. They have raised questions about their causes and created a demand for change toward a more social, moral and responsible system that is based on values. There is broad consensus that the emergence of misconduct (i.e. actions that are either illegal or morally unacceptable to the larger community) is rarely just the consequence of single managers and employees (‘bad apples’). The organisational context, in particular the ‘unwritten’ rules, values and strategies, as perceived by the employees and managers, matters as well in inhibiting or cultivating unethical behaviour (‘bad barrel’). However, in order to infer appropriate interventions that may help to implement changes and restore trust, it is essential to assess and monitor the features of the organisational context that are likely to inhibit or foster ethical behaviour. One of our research projects at the Leadership Excellence Institute Zeppelin (Zeppelin University) and the Center for Responsibility in Finance (University of Zurich) is designed to make contributions in this direction. |
