The effect of organizational forces on individual morality: judgment, moral approbation, and behavior
Article Abstract:
Moral approbation offers a viable solution for the understanding of the connection between moral judgment and moral action. Human beings require human approval from their referent groups and organizations play a vital role in the gaining of the approval. Organizational forces can affect the factors that individuals employ in determining the level of their moral responsibility, which is a key determinant of the moral approbation that they expect to receive.

Corporate moral responsibility: when it might matter
Article Abstract:
Corporate moral responsibility in business ethics, research, and teaching, from the perspective of a corporate control identity, makes a difference in cases where moral responsibility is present, but personal responsibility is absent. The forces springing from socialization processes that people undergo in groups that diminish personal responsibility, when corporate responsibility exists, are identified and discussed.
