Spontaneous sociability and planned profitability

Article Abstract:

The value of trust in business enterprises extends not only to its potential for increasing productivity, but even more so on its capacity to encourage individuals and organizations to forge relationships with other groups of people. However, to maximize this latter potential, people must take due consideration of the varied meanings attributed by individuals to the concept of trust. They should also analyze this trait's impact on group behavior, as it is first and foremost a social ideal.

Psychological pragmatism and the imperative of aims: a new approach for business ethics

Article Abstract:

There is a need to focus on methods for promoting ethical behavior in practice and exploiting psychological forces conducive to ethical conduct rather than emphasizing on dominant normative and empirical trends in business ethics. Pragmatic solutions are suggested to address this need. Ethical conduct may be promoted by identification of conditions and practices that advance those aims in firms and justification of aims in the pursuit of economic objectives.

Usage, Pragmatism
