  1. Layoffs and their ethical implications under scientific management, quality management and open-book management.Roland E. Kidwell & Philip M. Scherer - 2001 - Journal of Business Ethics 29 (1-2):113-124.
    Two major management philosophies of the 20th Century, scientific management and quality management, are often contrasted. Scientific management is seen as a system that focuses on task efficiencies whereas quality management is described as a collaborative, people-centered process approach to continuous improvement.

The paper uses case examples of quality management as teaching (...)

  • Five Baselines for Justification in Persuasion.Sherry Baker - 1999 - Journal of Mass Media Ethics 14 (2):69-81.
    A framework is introduced consisting of five baselines of ethical justification for professional persuasive communications. The models provide a conceptual structure by which to identify and analyze the ethical reasoning, underlying justifications, motivations, and decision making in professional persuasive practices. Although the emphasis of this article is on defining the constructs, their ethical soundness as justification for persuasive practices and their usefulness in establishing direction and methodologies for research in persuasive also are addressed.

  • Safety Reloaded: Lean Operations and High Involvement Work Practices for Sustainable Workplaces.Arnaldo Camuffo, Federica De Stefano & Chiara Paolino - 2017 - Journal of Business Ethics 143 (2):245-259.
    Starting from the recent quest to investigate the human side of organizational sustainability, this study applies a variety of regression analyses to investigate the effects of Lean Operations, High Involvement Work Practices, and management behaviors on occupational safety. It tests and finds support for the hypotheses that Lean Production systems, High Involvement Work Practices, and two specific management behaviors—workers’ capability development and empowerment —positively affect occupational safety. Furthermore, empowering behaviors positively moderate the effect of Lean Operations on workers’ safety. The (...)
