El abordaje del fenómeno de los abusos ocurridos en el seno de la Iglesia católica requiere incorporar perspectivas y reflexiones desarrolladas fuera del marco eclesial y ya aplicadas a realidades seculares, para situarlo en un contexto más amplio que permita entenderlo mejor y proponer respuestas que resulten pertinentes también para la sociedad en la que la Iglesia habita. Con esta finalidad,ante todo metodológica: se propone como categoría central de análisis y respuesta la perspectiva de las víctimas, el reconocimiento de su condición y los derechos que les pertenecen; se presenta un modelo de justicia restaurativa que asegure un papel relevante a las víctimas y demás afectados; se considera el abuso como un ejemplo de violencia injusta al que puede aplicarse el modelo del triángulo de Johan Galtung y, finalmente, se justifica la aplicación a la Iglesia de las categorías de la ética organizacional.

El sector eléctrico colombiano ha impulsado políticas organizacionales fundamentadas en la inclusión y el bienestar de la sociedad en general, que pretenden trasladarse al teletrabajo a través de un estilo de liderazgo ético. Sin embargo, el egoísmo —que se caracteriza por maximizar el interés propio como base de razonamiento moral—, es un factor subyacente que puede deteriorar cualquier iniciativa que busque un equilibrio institucional justo e íntegro, mediante un clima ético donde las decisiones descuiden las necesidades colectivas. Por consiguiente, el objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la relación entre un clima laboral egoísta y el teletrabajo, a través del rol moderador de liderazgo ético. El estudio aplicó un diseño cuantitativo, transversal y correlacional explicativo. La muestra fue de 448 empleados evaluados por una encuesta en línea. Se encontró que el clima ético egoísta (X) y el liderazgo ético (W) se asocian significativamente con el teletrabajo (Y). Sin embargo, cuando el liderazgo ético regula la relación entre las variables independiente y dependiente (θX → Y/W), se hace visible que a mayor percepción de una dirección ética más débil se torna el efecto del clima egoísta sobre el teletrabajo hasta desaparecer. En conclusión, el sector eléctrico colombiano, por su enfoque en la responsabilidad social y erradicación de conductas deshonestas mediante un liderazgo ético, no es compatible con un clima laboral egoísta. De hecho, el impulsar una cultura de trabajo, a través del interés propio, neutraliza todo el esfuerzo ético propuesto por el sector eléctrico colombiano en los últimos siete años, puesto que su finalidad ha sido propender por iniciativas sociales e inclusivas.

Resumo No início de 2023, um grande revés abala o mercado acionário brasileiro: a Americanas, empresa quase centenária e uma das maiores varejistas do Brasil, anuncia ao mercado, em um Fato Relevante, que haviam sido encontradas “inconsistências contábeis”, estimadas em R$ 20 bilhões, na sua conta fornecedores. A empresa é gerida há mais de 30 anos pelo trio Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles e Beto Sicupira, considerados, até então, uma referência no capitalismo brasileiro. Neste momento, em que o caso ainda se desdobra diante de nós e atrai imensa atenção da mídia pelos números superlativos - milhares de pontos de vendas, 45.000 empregos, bilhões em dívidas com fornecedores e uma perda de R$ 8 bilhões em ações -, é fundamental que a academia qualifique o debate e faça uma discussão de seus impactos e desdobramentos de forma estruturada em sala de aula.

Objetivo: El propósito de este artículo es analizar las diferencias en la percepción de la toma de decisiones éticas, clima ético organizacional y desempeño organizacional, antes y durante la pandemia por COVID-19, en algunos profesionales de la salud de hospitales públicos y privados del área urbana de México. Materiales y Métodos: 68 profesionales de la salud respondieron una encuesta utilizando la técnica de muestreo de bola de nieve. Esta encuesta estructurada digital evaluó las características demográficas de los encuestados y 3 dimensiones (constructos) divididas en 53 ítems: toma de decisiones éticas, clima ético organizacional y desempeño organizacional, antes de la pandemia de COVID-19 (año 2019) y durante la pandemia (año 2020-2021). Para comparar las diferencias de las dimensiones antes y durante el COVID-19, se realizó la prueba t para muestras dependientes. Resultados: En las dimensiones toma de decisiones éticas y clima ético organizacional, no se presentaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los promedios antes y durante la pandemia. En relación al desempeño organizacional existe una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en los promedios antes y durante la pandemia, con una disminución en el desempeño. Conclusiones: Esta investigación contribuye a la literatura acerca de la gestión de servicios de salud sugiriendo que, en un entorno adverso, la toma de decisiones basada en la ética y un clima ético deben mantenerse en las organizaciones para evitar una caída más dramática en el desempeño.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación que buscó explicar la forma en que los líderes éticos pueden influir en el desarrollo y sostenimiento de la cultura organizacional ética. Los resultados mostraron que esta influencia puede ser explicada asociando el comportamiento característico de los líderes éticos con la implementación de los mecanismos primarios de incorporación, con un enfoque ético, siendo este un enfoque poco explorado y con una aplicación limitada en el contexto de la ética organizacional. Dichos resultados se obtuvieron mediante el diseño de un modelo que representa cómo los mecanismos primarios apoyan la existencia de un conjunto de características que posibilitan la existencia de una cultura organizacional ética. Dicho modelo fue contrastado con la realidad mediante un estudio de caso en el Instituto para Niños Ciegos y Sordos del Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Se concluye que existe una variedad de comportamientos, decisiones, intereses, actitudes y formas de pensar y reaccionar, características de un líder ético, a través de las cuales estos pueden transmitir mensajes hacia la cultura organizacional, capaces de influir sobre el comportamiento ético de sus colaboradores.

The objective of this work is to empirically identify the degree of internalization of values as components of organizational culture in a group of companies in the eastern region of the State of Mexico. To this end, a survey was adapted and applied to 104 companies in the region. To analyze the data collected, the statistical technique of principal components was used, as well as cluster analysis to identify the degree of internalization and the grouping of the values. It is concluded that the companies analyzed in the region have succeeded in internalizing the philanthropic-ethical values and have adopted them as part of their culture, but they must make an effort to internalize those related to legality. The dimensions in which they have managed to internalize them are the orientation towards results and orientation towards the personnel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumo Nos últimos anos, com a Operação Lava-Jato e seus diversos desdobramentos atingindo em cheio algumas das maiores empresas do país, várias delas de capital aberto, torna-se fundamental que a academia qualifique o debate a respeito do impacto da corrupção nas organizações. Assim, este caso de ensino busca descrever a história de uma administradora de benefícios envolvida num escândalo de corrupção em virtude de uma delação premiada, buscando, principalmente, criar estratégias que venham a ser usadas pelo novo presidente, a fim de reverter os danos à sua reputação junto a clientes, parceiros e opinião pública em geral, bem como motivar e mobilizar os colaboradores que permaneceram na empresa, garantindo sua capacidade de reter e atrair talentos. O futuro da empresa e a retomada de seu crescimento, de forma sustentável, dependem disso.

La gobernanza hace referencia a un modelo horizontal de gestión basado en la corresponsabilidad entre el gobierno y las instituciones. Requiere de un cambio radical ético, social, cultural y económico que exige nuevos espacios públicos de participación en los procesos de toma de decisiones. Dicho modelo también se basa en la autonomía, la autodeterminación informativa y la corresponsabilidad en materia de salud. No obstante, es difícil que se aplique en las sociedades con desigualdades estructurales y culturales. Los principios éticos deben de regir la gobernanza y los sistemas de salud como una responsabilidad de los profesionales y como una práctica de todo el sistema, ya que la ética en las organizaciones tiene bases fundamentales como la vida, el bien común y la solidaridad. Acorde a esto es importante proporcionar un servicio de salud a la población con oportunidad, conocimientos médicos y éticos vigentes con predominio de la beneficencia, la calidad de la atención, la justicia distributiva y la equidad.

This paper analyzes, from a philosophical perspective, the scope and limitations of organizational ethics in the context of the era of globalization. Through this exploration, developed under the hermeneutical-documentary method, the following aspects are considered: 1. The elements that make up managerial ethics, as well as the various contexts that constitute the fields of action of philosophy within this universe. 2. The vulnerabilities exposed by globalization, both at an economic, social, and administrative level, as well as in human aspects, which lead to valuing the importance of decision-making, as a fundamental aspect to consolidate spaces characterized by justice and social equity. 3. The challenges faced by business management in the face of the gaps that arose after the COVID-19 pandemic, which, although not new, are intensifying in the midst of asymmetric and dissimilar scenarios characterized by exclusion, marginalization and the invisibility of difference. It is concluded that, in the face of the rise of virtuality, which has strengthened the processes of globalization, an ethic must be maintained according to the guidelines of social responsibility, promoting values such as respect, tolerance, justice and equity.

Nowadays, corruption is one of the most important psychological, social, economic and political issues worldwide. The present paper aims to analyse psychological variables related to corruption through a systematic review of publications from 2008 to 2018. After carrying out a bibliographic search in scientific databases such as Psycinfo, Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo and Dialnet, 44 papers were found to match selection criteria. Core topics haven been organizational ethics, cultural beliefs and values, perceived norms and moral, and personality and related variables. Overall, results have shown that organizational variables such as leaders' behaviour and justification strategies are linked to corruption. Meritocratic and materialist values have also been linked to corrupt behaviour, just like perceiving a corrupt environment and social norms. In regard to personality, features such as narcissism and psychopathy are deeply connected with this phenomenon. On the other side, perception of power and gender have a mixed empirical support.

Current analysis deals with formation in the undergraduate course in Administration of a state university in the state of Paraná, Brazil and its influence of students' perception with regard to the significance and importance towards organizational ethics. A bibliographical survey was undertaken on the three thematic areas, organizational ethics, moral legitimation of organizations and space occupied by ethics in the teaching of Administration in Brazil. Perceptions on the themes were collected from 168 Administration undergraduates, with 91 first year students and 77 students in the final year, through a questionnaire with open and closed questions, in November 2017. Data were analyzed quantitatively for descriptive statistical analysis and qualitatively by Content Analysis (BARDIN, 1977). Results show that, although 95% of fifth-year students state that they have had contact with the theme throughout the undergraduate course, these students failed to show any better significant knowledge on the concepts of organizational ethics when compared to first-year undergraduates.

Near permanent and recent corporate scandals around the world have intensified the concern for ethics in organizations and particularly those from business professionals worldwide. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to explore the ethical criteria in dilemmas of a group of business students from a university in the central-southern state of Chile, based on Baumhart's (1961) and Gleen and Van Loo's (1993) investigation, conducted in the United States on students and business professionals. The results show that students find it difficult to respond correctly to ethical dilemmas and therefore need reinforcement in their formation of ethical business judgments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reviews the literature on ethical decision making in organizations, to establish its levels of disciplinary integration, as well as its more notorious theoretical and methodological approaches. To that end, systematic and narrative analysis were combined. The systematic review was based on references obtained from the Web of Science (WoS), which were analyzed through the Tree of Science (ToS) platform to identify citation networks. The narrative review was based on the analysis of complementary references through Gephi. The literature was classified into three levels of disciplinary dialogue: 1) Conceptual importation; 2) Theoretical reciprocity; and 3) Theoretical unity. It is concluded that the lack of studies grounded in theoretical unity, integrated and mixed approaches, justifies the development of studies based on a more transdisciplinary vision of decision-making theory and practice. Hence, it is proposed to resort to complex integral realism, as a promising route to develop the required transdisciplinary vision of Ethical Decision Making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La ética en general y sus réplicas en el management, a través de conceptos como la ética empresarial o ética en los negocios, se considera un instrumento válido de análisis y de interpretación de la perspectiva social de una organización en el marco de la sustentabilidad. El presente ensayo revisa el estado del arte de la sustentabilidad y la ética en las organizaciones para comprender su aplicabilidad en la gestión y distinguir los actores relevantes. Para ello, utiliza una metodología de revisión bibliográfica de treinta y ocho publicaciones que tratan estos temas desde diversas disciplinas. El hallazgo del análisis indica que la mirada de las organizaciones como sistemas socioecológicos promueve valores basados en la ética y es una alternativa de abordaje de la sustentabilidad organizacional. Desde esta concepción los actores sociales, ambientales y económicos que tienen un interés o son afectados por la acción o inacción de una empresa -los stakeholders- cobran un especial interés y prestigio, dado que las bases de las relaciones entre lo social y lo ambiental es lo que repercute finalmente en la sustentabilidad o insustentabilidad de un sistema.

A model for the evaluation of organizational ethics programs implemented in universities is proposed. The methodology used is qualitative and it considers the results of an ethics program of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. The literature review shows that there is a knowledge gap about evaluation of ethics programs, in general and in universities, in particular. The main result is a model of evaluation based in qualitative and quantitative instruments. It is concluded that the proposed model allows evaluating organizational ethics programs in universities, given an account not only of the budget execution and the quality of the activities realized, but also of other factors. Among these are the perceptions of the stakeholders regarding the appropriation of the organizational ethical code and moral values, the changes in ethical attitudes and behaviors and the strengthening of the ethical organizational culture.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o comportamento ético das organizações em relação a sustentabilidade e as inovações ambientais, através de uma revisão da literatura. O estudo buscou identificar a convergência entre o conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável e as ideias de Kant, Georgescu-Roegen e Jonas, contextualizando as bases filosóficas do comportamento ético e o praticado pelas organizações. Em seguida apresentam-se as principais características das inovações sustentáveis e sua importância para a mitigação de riscos ambientais em prol da sustentabilidade. O artigo apresenta diversos fatores que impactam as decisões sobre inovações e sustentabilidade e o comportamento das organizações ao buscarem uma atitude ética compatível com esses paradigmas. Dentre os resultados encontrados estão: o estabelecimento de crenças e valores que objetivam melhorar a reputação das empresas; a compatibilidade e a coexistência entre ética e inovação (“inovação ética” e “inovação responsável”). A influência da cultura ética sobre a capacidade de inovar e as razões pelas quais muitos empresários resistem em desenvolver e adotar inovações ainda é um dos entraves que a lógica produtivista do capital impõe as práticas de gestão. Ao final se apresentam algumas limitações da pesquisa e sugestões para estudos futuros.

El objetivo de investigación es identificar las diferencias de percepción acerca de la transparencia organizacional desde la perspectiva del colaborador dependiendo del sector, del tamaño y de la cobertura a la que pertenece la empresa. Se realizan pruebas t en un colectivo de empresas en México para medir las diferencias significativas entre los diversos grupos de empresas, encontrando que la empresa del sector privado y con perfil exportador tiende a integrar de una forma más decidida las prácticas transparentes que los otros tipos de empresas o instituciones. Se propone que un colaborador ciudadano puede ser un elemento clave dentro de las organizaciones públicas y privadas para incrementar la transparencia organizacional.

El objetivo del presente artículo es proponer un concepto de gobierno ético e ilustrar sobre su aplicación en las organizaciones. Para tal fin se hace un recorrido teórico en el que se abordan los diversos enfoques sobre el tema. El diseño metodológico se enmarca en un enfoque cualitativo, de donde se plantean cuatro etapas: descriptiva–conceptual, comprensiva–sintética, propositiva y aplicativa. La conclusión central es que la esencia de gobernar éticamente implica que quienes conforman el gobierno deben asumir en el uso del poder los valores morales organizacionales, acordados colectivamente, de tal forma que ejerzan una influencia positiva sobre los grupos de interés.

Nowadays Business ethics emerge as a referent in management into the organizations that want to obtain outcome in a competitive and globalized world, despite there are many companies that used these management methods for cover a top objective that is profit maximization. This research proposes through the methods: Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and systems, standards and indicators proposed by various international institutions a methodology for assessing the ethical level in an organization. The methodology enables the construction of a hierarchy composed of dimensions, critical factors and indicators using the FMECA method, which allows to evaluate each of the elements according to their severity, occurrence and detection. The method is complemented when determining the weights of the elements through AHP using a basic scale of values. The proposed methodology determines the ethical level through the impact of its dimensions, and a fundamental scale evaluates the ethical behavior allowing to measure the effects generated by organizations in society, the environment and the economy.

En la literatura sobre ética empresarial, encontramos un importante número de trabajos centrados en establecer marcos de comprensión sobre qué es lo que conduce a un individuo a comportarse de una manera ética o no ética. Sin embargo, los modelos propuestos hasta el momento son excesivamente generalistas, sin concretar aquellos factores que, desde la literatura empírica, se presentan como más destacados en materia de influencia. El propósito de este trabajo es desarrollar un modelo explicativo que permita la mejor comprensión de los principales factores que influyen sobre el comportamiento ético del empleado. Para ello revisamos las aportaciones más significativas realizadas sobre esta cuestión y planteamos una serie de proposiciones teóricas que definen el modelo explicativo. Finalizamos el trabajo con la discusión del modelo, la extracción de una serie de conclusiones y la propuesta de futuras líneas de investigación.

Este artículo es uno de los resultados de la investigación titulada “La teoría de los sentimientos morales y el desarrollo de culturas organizacionales éticas”. Objetivo. Proponer, desde la teoría de los sentimientos morales de Adam Smith, elementos para fortalecer la ética en las culturas organizacionales. Este artículo se concentra en responder a las preguntas: ¿qué es una cultura organizacional ética?, y ¿cómo se pueden desarrollar culturas organizacionales éticas? Metodología. Para ello se utiliza una metodología de tipo hermenéutico por medio de la cual se construye una reflexión teórica en torno a la cultura organizacional y a las relaciones entre esta y la ética organizacional. Resultados y conclusiones. Se destaca que una cultura organizacional ética es aquella cuyos artefactos, mitos, valores e ideología contienen en su núcleo una reflexión sobre lo correcto e incorrecto de los comportamientos dentro y alrededor de la organización, lo cual depende del liderazgo de la alta gerencia y se apoya, formal e informalmente, en la estrategia y estructura de la organización.

El artículo sistematiza algunos de los aportes que brinda la Psicología de enfoque cognitivo-conductual, especialmente aplicables en el seno de las organizaciones, en orden a reforzar las actitudes y conductas éticamente responsables de los involucrados. Se brinda especial atención a los factores que deben tenerse en cuenta, cada vez que se quiere contrarrestar o inhibir la tendencia deslizante de los contextos éticamente “laxos” de las organizaciones que, a su vez, deterioran la conciencia moral de los individuos y favorecen las conductas reprobables en la dinámica organizacional.

The study of Corporate Social Responsibility has been inclined to a business viewpoint that has transformed it into an instrument. Consequently, Corporate Social Responsibility seems to be a management style that might be disposable. In response, this article proposes a wider notion about Organizational Social Responsibility and its main objective is the statement of the relationship between Organizational Social Responsibility and morality. That means, to recognize Social Responsibility as an unavoidable part of human behavior foundations. To get so, this paper is fourfold: Organizational Social Responsibility concept, its ethical foundations, its relationship with values and private earnings and the necessity of an Organizational Social Responsibility promoted by the government in instead of being strictly voluntary developed. The main conclusion sets that Organizational Social Responsibility is always presented both in human behavior and organizational facts, therefore, it is not an optional choice. At the end of the work, suggestions for new research are proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Virtue as an organizational phenomenon has been ignored for a considerable period of time. Recently, however, a succession of scandals in the corporate world (particularly in the financial sector) brought the role of virtues back to the focus of research attention. In the article we discuss the notion of virtue, present four complementary perspectives on virtues as an organizational phenomenon and discuss how to stimulate virtuous organizational practice from an organizational behavior perspective.

This article is one of the results from the research entitled "The Theory of Moral Sentiments and the development of ethical organizational cultures" Objective: To propose, from the theory of moral sentiments by Adam Smith, elements to strengthen ethics in organizational cultures. This article is focused in answering to the questions: what is an ethical organizational culture? and, how ethical organizational cultures can be developed? Methodology: For this purpose, a hermeneutic methodology that helps building a theoretical reflection about organizational culture and its relationships with organizational ethics is used. Results and conclusions: It emphasized that an ethical organizational culture is one whose artifacts, myths, values and ideology contain at its core a reflection of right and wrong behaviors in and around the organization, which depends on the leadership of senior management and is supported, formally and informally, on the organization strategy and structure.
