How do individuals make ethical choices? We consider the psychological processes that result in ethical decisions and behavior. Our focus is on actual human conduct rather than a priori normative principles elaborated by intellectuals throughout history
-
We also ask how social institutions, e.g., law or regulatory and corporate policies, influence moral functioning. Their effects are often counterproductive
-
Lastly, we explore behavioral interventions (validated by insights from psychology) that foster ethical behavior and have the potential to bring about a culture of service and purpose. We offer examples within a corporate/organizational setting, e.g., nudges that preserve freedom of choice, yet tweak behavior
