En fenomenologisk inngang til profesjonsetikken : Tillit i praksis - forutsetning eller fortjeneste?
2012
Accepted version of an article from the journal: Nordisk sygeplejeforskning Tema for artikkelen er tilliten i pasient-behandler-relasjonen. Det tas utgangspunkt i profesjonsetikk og profesjonsmoral, og hva dette innebærer, før profesjonsmoralen belyses via et grunnleggende fenomen som tillit. Et sentralt spørsmål er om tillit er en grunnleggende forutsetning mellom mennesker som bare «er» der eller om tillit er en fortjeneste som helsearbeideren har gjort seg fortjent til i egenskap av profesjonstilhørighet. Tillit som grunnfenomen hos Løgstrup og noen kritiske røster til Løgstrups syn på tillit diskuteres. Med utgangspunkt i Grimens tenkning diskuteres nærmere relasjonen og den asymmetri s…

2012
Doctoral dissertation in Internation Management, University of Agder, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, Kristiansand 2012 The topic of business ethics has always been relevant, but never more so than at the present time of the global economic crisis. Nestlè, Lockheed, Union Carbide, Nike, Enron, Tyco, AIG, BP, Halliburton, Lehman Brothers, Bernard L. Madoff are just a few well-known names of businesses/related individuals that at one time or other openly failed ethically. Such cases have prompted researchers to analyze the causes of unethical behavior to understand what drives individuals in business organizations to act unethically and pursue the goal of discouraging — hopefully ul…
The Powerlessness of Religious Power in a Pluralist Society
2003
The final, definitive version of this paper has been published in Social compass, 50/2,2003 by SAGE Publications Ltd., All rights reserved. © http://scp.sagepub.com/ In pluralist societies adhering to liberal and individualistic ideas, strict and conservative groups face some serious dilemmas if they want to recruit and keep members. In a liberal society, the most important form of religious power is normative power. Strict and demanding religious organizations will have difficulties in a liberal, anti-authoritarian society. Such organizations may succeed in increasing their control over loyal members, but in a broader context, they will be branded as authoritarian by the secular media and …

Ethical Considerations in Crowdfunding
2020
AbstractThe current chapter addresses ethical issues in crowdfunding practice from a multiple stakeholder perspective. It draws on ethical principles outlined in both classical and business-specific approaches. The discussion first presents classical approaches to ethical decision making. It then discusses whether crowdfunding presents an ethical solution or a source of ethical problems. Later, it suggests a framework presenting a classification of potential ethical dilemmas and pitfalls in crowdfunding practice, as well as potential means for addressing them. The discussion concludes with concrete implications for crowdfunding ethics research and practice.

2018
Atsevišķu darbinieku neētiska rīcība rada starptautiskiem uzņēmumiem juridisku, komerciālu un reputācijas risku. Līdz ar to uzņēmumi īsteno rīcības kodeksus arī to ārvalstu filiālēs. Bet kodekss nav garantija, ka darbavietā tiks novērsta neētiska rīcība. Ir jāizprot dažādu kultūru ietekme uz individuālām (ne)ētiskajām izvēlēm un šīs atšķirības jāiekļauj uzņēmumu atbilstības politikās. Pēc jauna teorētiskā modeļa izstrādes un 421 Vācijas, Austrijas un Ķīnas darbinieku aptaujas tika intervēti pieci eksperti attiecībā uz aptaujas rezultātu novērtējumu. Secinājumi liecina, ka sociāliem tīkliem un kontaktiem ar sociāli līdzvērtīgiem partneriem ir vislielākā ietekme uz darbinieku biznesa ētiskajā…
