Ethics in Research

23.2K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Obedience01:08

Obedience

33.0K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Ethical Dilemmas I01:17

Ethical Dilemmas I

999
Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

6.5K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Ethical Standards II01:23

Ethical Standards II

753
Ethical standards are the backbone of nursing practice, guiding nurses as they interact with patients, families, and colleagues. These standards are crucial for providing safe, empathetic care centered on the patient's needs.
Nurses are entrusted with upholding various ethical principles and standards. Nurses forge solid therapeutic relationships using trust, empathy, autonomy, confidentiality, and professional competence.
Confidentiality is crucial, embodying respect for individual privacy...

Area of Science:

  • Business Ethics
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Corporate Governance

Background:

  • Executives' unethical behavior negatively impacts economic and social development.
  • Existing research lacks systematic integration, clear hotspots, and defined future directions.
  • Academic inquiry into senior executives' (un)ethical behavior spans multiple disciplines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and integrate existing research on executives' unethical behavior.
  • To construct a theoretical framework for understanding this phenomenon.
  • To identify future research trends and recommendations, especially in emerging markets.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliometric analysis of 428 papers published between 2000 and 2020.
  • Content coding of selected research papers.
  • Inductive identification of concepts to build a theoretical framework.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive research framework categorizing executives' unethical behavior into antecedents, the behavior itself, and consequences.
  • Identification of key research themes and their evolution over two decades.
  • Recommendations for future research, emphasizing emerging market contexts.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a structured overview and theoretical framework for executives' unethical behavior.
  • It highlights the need for further research in emerging markets to address specific contextual factors.
  • Advances the theoretical development and practical understanding of corporate misconduct.
