  1. Harnessing the Power Within: The Consequences of Salesperson Moral Identity and the Moderating Role of Internal Competitive Climate.Omar S. Itani & Nawar N. Chaker - 2022 - Journal of Business Ethics 181 (4):847-871.
    The purpose of this research is to examine the notion of salesperson moral identity as a prosocial individual trait and its associated effects on customer and coworker relationships. In addition, this study examines the underlying processes in which these effects occur as well as the moderating role of internal competitive climate. Our empirical investigation of business-to-business (B2B) sales professionals reveals that moral identity has both direct and indirect effects on a salesperson’s customer- and team-directed outcomes. Specifically, our results demonstrate that (...)

  • Salesperson perceptions of ethical behaviors: Their influence on job satisfaction and turnover intentions. [REVIEW]Charles Pettijohn, Linda Pettijohn & A. J. Taylor - 2008 - Journal of Business Ethics 78 (4):547 - 557.
    In the academic world, research has indicated that "good ethics is good business."

  • Self-Selection Bias in Business Ethics Research.Harvey S. James - 2006 - Business Ethics Quarterly 16 (4):559-577.
    Abstract:Suppose we want to know whether the ethics of persons with one characteristic differ from the ethics of persons having another characteristic. Self-selection bias occurs if people have control over that characteristic. When there is self-selection bias, we cannot be sure observed differences in ethics are correlated with the characteristic or are the result of individual self-selection. Self-selection bias is germane to many important business ethics questions. In this paper I explain what self-selection bias is, how it relates to business (...)

  • Relativism in ethical research: A proposed model and mode of inquiry. [REVIEW]John Tsalikis, Bruce Seaton & Philip L. Shepherd - 2001 - Journal of Business Ethics 32 (3):231 - 246.
    While some of the great thinkers (Socrates, Kant) have argued for an absolutist view of ethical behavior, over the past 250 years the relativist view has become ascendant. Following the contingency framework of Ferrell and Gresham (1985) and the issue contingent model of Jones (1991), a model for ethical research is proposed. The key components include the moral agent/transgressor, the issue type and its intensity, and the nature of the victim. In addition, a statistical methodology, namely conjoint analysis, is introduced (...)
