Ranking Rank Behaviors
运用商业伦理学家常用的伦理理论，提出了一个包含具体情境因素的诚实阈值定义，并区分了不同类别的不诚实行为，如偷窃和欺骗，最后讨论了该定义在研究和教学中的应用。
Using ethical theory often applied by business ethicists, this article develops a threshold definition of honesty that incorporates specific situational factors (act, actor, person affected, intention, and result) in the definition: Dishonesty occurs when a responsible actor voluntarily and intentionally violates some convention of the transfer of information or of property, and, in so doing, potentially harms a valued being. The article then further refines this definition to differentiate among various categories of dishonesty, such as theft and deceit. Ways to use the definition in research and teaching are discussed.
