Adapting Kohlberg to Enhance the Assessment of Manager's Moral Reasoning
本文改编了科尔伯格的道德判断访谈与评分方法,通过混合熟悉与不熟悉的道德困境、聚焦组织价值观的追问、灵活的口头或书面访谈以及简化评分系统,提升了对管理者道德推理的评估效果。
This paper presents an adaptation of Lawrence Kohlberg's Moral Judgment Interview and Standard Issue Scoring method. The adaptation emphasizes four points: (1) a mixture of less familiar and more familiar moral dilemmas, (2) followup questions which probe managers’ moral reasoning by focusing upon key organizational values, (3) the flexibility of utilizing either an oral or written interview method, and (4) a simpler, yet reliable, system for scoring the managers’ responses and identifying their stage of moral reasoning. An empirical investigation found that each adaptation could enhance the assessment of managers’ moral reasoning.
