Conscience and its Counterfeits in Organizational Life: A New Interpretation of the Naturalistic Fallacy
本文指出人们对组织伦理的态度存在深层矛盾，常依赖非道德的良心替代品，并建议领导者培养伦理意识文化，与自然主义谬误进行对比。
Abstract: This paper explains and defends three basic propositions: (1) that our attitudes (particularly American attitudes) toward organizational ethics are conflicted at a fairly deep level; (2) that in response to this conflict in our attitudes, we often default to various counterfeits of conscience (non-moral systems that serve as surrogates for the role of conscience in organizational settings); and (3) that a better response (than relying on counterfeits) would be for leaders to foster a culture of ethical awareness in their organizations. Some practical suggestions are made about fostering such a culture, and a comparison is made between this late-20 th -century response to the problem of counterfeits and the classic “naturalistic fallacy” identified in early-20 th -century ethics by G. E. Moore.
