Cognitive Pathology and Moral Judgment in Managers
研究了认知心理学实验如何解释管理者的道德判断,提出这些结果可能反映道义论承诺而非非理性后果主义,并探讨了管理者如何据此制定企业责任政策。
Abstract: We examine the moral and managerial significance of some empirical studies in cognitive psychology. We suggest that these results may plausibly be interpreted as expressing deontological commitments of experimental subjects, even though psychologists who discuss the results seem to suppose that they show that people are irrational consequentialists. We argue that the plausibility of our interpretation suggests how managers who wish to take seriously entrenched social views on morality might best craft corporate policy on corporate responsibility, and we suggest that the form of argument we employ may be regarded as a kind of appeal to reflective equilibrium.
