The Effects of Managerial Values on Social Issues Evaluation: An Empirical Examination
研究发现管理者的价值观(经济、法律、伦理、慈善)显著影响他们对社区、政治和监管等社会议题重要性的评估,表明本应客观的评估过程并非完全客观。
This article suggests that due to the value-laden nature of social issues, managerial values, as a framework or schema, play an important role in the social issues evaluation process. Our data show that there is clearly a relationship between the issues managers evaluate as important and the values of those managers, with values being defined according to the Carroll typology—economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic. It was apparent that the values held by the managers sampled determined how various sets of issues—community, political, and regulatory—were evaluated in terms of importance. This result suggests that the issues evaluation process, which should be objective, is not.
