Moral Atmosphere and Moral Influence Under China's Network Capitalism
研究了中国大陆企业面临的道德挑战，通过武汉七家不同所有制企业的定性分析，发现分配不公加剧了问题，合资企业的理性法治管理相对有效，而国企的道德宣传效果有限。
A weak legal system, weak civic accountability, market distortions, public cynicism, and workforces lacking moral self-efficacy, present challenges to moral integrity in Chinese mainland enterprises. Our predominantly qualitative study, in Wuhan, of organizational moral atmosphere (OMA) in two large state-owned enterprises (SOEs), two smaller, shareholder invested SOEs, two foreign-invested joint venture companies (JVCs) and one private company, indicated that felt distributive inequity may have compounded these problems. Government-championed, in-company ideological propagation of avowed business morality appeared to have little impact on OMA, owing to normative incoherence. The JVCs, by adopting the foreign partners' system of rational-legal administration and internal justice, appeared to have found a relatively more effective approach to formal moral governance. Non-JVCs had a more punishment-oriented yet less rigorous approach to regulation, which was commended only at the private company, where personal share ownership gave middle and senior managers incentives to enforce discipline and thus minimize losses. Developmental and dialogue-based approaches to improving OMA were largely untried.
