Situational influences on ethical sensemaking: Performance pressure, interpersonal conflict, and the recipient of consequences
研究组织伦理困境中，后果承受者、绩效压力和人际冲突如何影响人们的伦理意义建构过程、元认知推理策略及决策的道德性。发现当个人是后果承受者时决策更道德，低人际冲突下人们更多分析困境原因并考虑他人。
Multiple situational influences are often present in organizational ethical dilemmas. This article explores the influences of recipient of the consequence, performance pressure, and interpersonal conflict on sensemaking processes, metacognitive reasoning strategies, and decision ethicality. Results suggest that decision ethicality is greater when individuals are the recipients of consequences. In addition, individuals analyzed causes of the dilemma to a greater extent when faced with low interpersonal conflict and when consequences occurred at an individual level. Individuals in the low interpersonal conflict condition anticipated consequences, looked within, and considered others more than those in the high interpersonal conflict condition. Additional research on performance pressure is needed given that the manipulation used in this study was not effective. Implications for theory and practice of ethics in organizational settings are discussed.
