Feminist Ethics as Moral Grounding for Stakeholder Theory
本文论证传统正义与权利伦理无法完全支撑利益相关者理论,提出女性主义伦理学的关怀原则能补足缺失的道德基础,并举例说明其在商业决策中的应用。
Stakeholder theory, as a method of management based on morals and behavior, must be grounded by a theory of ethics. However, traditional ethics of justice and rights cannot completely ground the theory. Following and expanding on the work of Wicks, Gilbert, and Freeman (1994), we believe that feminist ethics, invoking principles of caring, provides the missing element that allows moral theory to ground the stakeholder approach to management. Examples are given to support the suggested general principle for making business decisions under feminist moral theory.
