The Role of Virtue Ethics in Modern Moral Dilemmas

Purpose: The study sought to investigate how virtue ethics can be applied to contemporary ethical issues and comparing its implementation across different cultural contexts. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the role of virtue ethics in modern moral dilemmas. Preliminary empirical review revealed that virtue ethics provided a robust framework for addressing modern moral dilemmas by focusing on the development of moral character and the habitual practice of virtues like honesty, courage, and compassion. It emphasized that virtues guide not only actions but also motivations, enabling consistent ethical behavior. The study highlighted the importance of community and social context in nurturing virtues, suggesting that supportive environments are crucial for ethical decision-making in various settings, such as healthcare and corporate governance. Ultimately, virtue ethics was found to promote ethical resilience and adaptability, making it a valuable approach for resolving contemporary ethical challenges and fostering a more just and sustainable world. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Aristotle's Virtue Ethics, Alasdair MacIntyre's Neo-Aristotelian Virtue Ethics and Philippa Foot's Natural Goodness may be used to anchor future studies on virtue ethics and modern moral dilemmas. The study recommended expanding the theoretical foundations of virtue ethics to include contemporary issues, integrating virtue ethics into professional and personal domains, and incorporating it into public policy frameworks. It emphasized the need for educational institutions to promote character development and suggested community programs to nurture virtues. Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of continuous research and interdisciplinary dialogue to keep virtue ethics relevant in addressing modern moral dilemmas. These recommendations aimed to enhance theoretical insights, improve practical applications, and create policies that foster an ethically conscious society.

INTEGRATING ISLAMIC BUSINESS ETHICS IN LABOR PROTECTION AND MINIMUM WAGE DETERMINATION IN INDONESIA

Policies related to the minimum wage are a contentious issue in employment across both developed and developing countries, aiming to meet community needs and benefit families. However, a research gap exists in applying justice and moral principles to wage determination from the perspective of Sharia economic law in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze fair wage components according to Islam and the role of business ethics in protecting workers and determining wages. Employing a literature review method, data were gathered from various sources such as books, journals, and previous research findings, which were reviewed and analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. The study emphasizes the importance of justice and moral components in Islamic wage determination, rooted in the absolute essence granted by God, essential for morality. Business ethics in work protection and wage determination are crucial to ensure fair treatment and prevent exploitation. Recommended steps include optimal labor protection and wage determination, timely payment of agreed wages, recognition and guarantee of labor, fair wage determination without harm, and providing worker freedom. The study's novelty lies in integrating Islamic principles of justice and morality into minimum wage policies and developing practical business ethics guidelines for labor protection and wage determination under Sharia economic law in Indonesia.

When consumer decisions are moral decisions: Moral Foundations Theory and its implications for consumer psychology

AbstractAlthough researchers have considered the role of morality in consumer psychology over the years, such investigations often fail to (a) recognize the different values that consumers might hold, and (b) provide proper context for why different moral considerations emerge. Moral Foundations Theory (MFT; Graham et al., Advances in experimental social psychology, 2013, Academic Press; Haidt & Joseph, Daedalus, 2004, 133, 55) provides just such a conceptual framework for understanding the diversity of moral thought that exists across cultures and demographic groups. MFT describes morality not as a monolithic entity, but as a pluralistic set of intuitive values that were shaped by evolutionary pressures and edited by distinct cultures. We review the central claims of MFT and describe how the theory can offer new insights when applied to consumer psychology, providing examples from existing research on persuasion, emotion, and prosocial behavior.

Akuntabilitas Berbasis Religiosity Value: Berperakah Mencegah Fraud Accounting?

This research aims to carefully investigate the concept of accountability in the context of preventing and addressing potential fraud within the structure of student organizations. The research method employed in this study is qualitative phenomenology, which aims to provide a deeper and richer understanding of how accountability operates within an organizational environment. Additionally, the qualitative phenomenological approach is used to uncover the meaning of experiences directly encountered by individuals. Phenomenology is chosen to gather information regarding fraud occurring within student organizations and reveal the meaning of accountability from the perspective of students' religiosity. This research utilizes primary data obtained from in-depth interviews with subjects of the study. The informants used in this research are the presidents of universities in Pontianak. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that: 1) Transparency and communication among organization leaders are crucial for preventing miscommunication, strengthening the organizational environment, and reducing the potential for accounting fraud by closing information gaps. 2) The accountability attitude of organization leaders, especially through the production of accurate financial reports, can detect and address accounting fraud. 3) Religion plays a significant role in shaping individual morality and influencing the implementation of accountability. 4) The implementation of accountability in organizations involves morality driven by religious teachings. 5) Religious teachings prohibit fraudulent actions, thus the more devout one is to their religion, the less likely they are to engage in accounting fraud.

Languaging Ethics in Technology Practice

Ethics as embodied by technology practitioners resists simple definition—particularly as it relates to the interplay of identity, organizational, and professional complexity. In this article, we use the linguistic notion of languaging as an analytic lens to describe how technology and design practitioners negotiate their conception of ethics as they reflect upon their everyday work. We engaged 12 practitioners in individual co-creation workshops, encouraging them to reflect on their ethical role in their everyday work through a series of generative and evaluative activities. We analyzed these data to identify how each practitioner reasoned about ethics through language and artifacts, finding that practitioners used a range of rhetorical tropes to describe their ethical commitments and beliefs in ways that were complex and sometimes contradictory. Across three cases, we describe how ethics was negotiated through language across three key zones of ecological emergence: the practitioners’ “core” beliefs about ethics, internal and external ecological elements that shaped or mediated these core beliefs, and the ultimate boundaries they reported refusing to cross. Building on these findings, we describe how the languaging of ethics reveals opportunities to definitionally and practically engage with ethics in technology ethics research, practice, and education.

The Relationship between Islamic Education and Global Ethics in Building Humanistic Awareness in the Post Truth Era

In a post-truth era marked by disinformation and mistrust of facts, it is important to consider the role of Islamic education and global ethics in building a humanistic awareness. Both have the potential to be drivers in overcoming the growing crisis of confidence and social polarization. This research explores the relationship between Islamic education and global ethics in the context of strengthening humanistic awareness. Through analysis of literature and case studies, the study highlights the importance of integrating humanist values, such as tolerance, justice, and empathy, into the curriculum of Islamic education. Moreover, a critical and reflective approach to disinformation as well as an emphasis on cross-cultural and religious understanding in a global ethical context are also identified as key factors in promoting humanistic awareness. The results of this research offer new insights into how global Islamic education and ethics can work together to produce individuals who are more aware of human values in the face of the challenges of the post-truth era. In conclusion, close collaboration between Islamic education and global ethics can help build a strong foundation of humanistic consciousness for a more inclusive and harmonious society in the future.

Invisible struggles: unveiling the mental health implications of job insecurity among migrant hospitality workers

ABSTRACT Migrant workers in India, who are often seen as the backbone of the nation, live in highly precarious conditions, experiencing heightened job insecurity. Nevertheless, they received little attention in scholarly investigations. This study utilises the latent deprivation theory to investigate the impact of quantitative and qualitative job insecurity experienced by interstate migrant hospitality workers in India and its impact on their mental health. The study also explores the potential mediating role of employee morale in this relationship. Additionally, it investigates whether the perception of employability, which refers to the likelihood of finding alternative employment, moderates the link between job insecurity dimensions and mental health. Data was collected from interstate migrant workers employed in tourist hotels in Delhi, India. Findings revealed that both dimensions of job insecurity have been negatively associated with the mental health of these workers, with employee morale serving as a partial mediator in the relationship. Employability is found to be a crucial moderator in alleviating the negative impact of quantitative job insecurity on mental health. In light of the findings, the study offers key interventions required at the policy and organisational levels to enhance well-being while utilising the unique skills and diverse perspectives of these migrant workers.

The Role of Work Facilities, Employee Engagement, and Work Ethic in Enhancing Employee Performance with Job Satisfaction as an Intervening Factor at CV. Anugerah Tirta Persada Pangkalan Bun

This study explores the intricate relationships between work facilities, employee engagement, work ethic, job satisfaction, and employee performance within CV Anugrah Tirta Persada Pangkalan Bun. The research seeks to determine the impact of these factors on job satisfaction and how job satisfaction mediates their influence on employee performance. Utilizing a saturation sampling method, the study encompasses all 39 employees of the company. Data was collected via a comprehensive questionnaire covering respondent characteristics, work facility scale, work engagement scale, work ethic scale, job satisfaction scale, and employee performance scale, analyzed using SMARTPLS. Key findings reveal that work facilities and employee engagement do not significantly affect job satisfaction, as evidenced by p-values of 0.449 and 0.410, respectively. Conversely, work ethic significantly enhances job satisfaction with a p-value of 0.000. Job satisfaction is confirmed as a substantial predictor of employee performance (p-value 0.000). While job satisfaction significantly moderates the influence of employee engagement on performance (p-value 0.010), it does not moderate the effects of work facilities or work ethic on performance. Additionally, work ethic directly influences employee performance (p-value 0.012), while work facilities do not show a significant direct impact (p-value 0.177). These insights suggest prioritizing work ethic and employee engagement over work facilities to enhance job satisfaction and performance. The findings contribute valuable perspectives to human resource management practices, emphasizing the need for organizations to foster strong work ethics and employee engagement to boost overall performance.
