Digital business world and ethical dilemmas: a systematic literature review

AbstractThe digital transition in the business world emerged as a necessity during the health crisis. Along with businesses transitioning into the innovative digital sphere, ethical issues also appeared. To switch to new technologies, companies must not only be aware of but also engage in digital practices and, last but not least, consider the importance of ethics. Talking about ethics in business is easy since we have a series of guidelines. It becomes more complicated when we face digital ethics and robots that do not have morals. Such a transition requires companies to rethink and innovate their business models and how they offer their customers value, while simultaneously considering digital ethical matters and even environmental and social aspects. This systematic literature review highlights—from the company's perspective—the key topics that characterize digitalization and the crucial role of ethics, describing the internal and external factors to consider in transition processes. The research results propose a series of guidelines but also open up new research opportunities to facilitate the digital transition in the business environment while respecting its ethical aspects. The main contribution of the research is to the specialist literature, deepening the topic and identifying some key aspects regarding the crucial role of ethics in the digital transition.

Are human brain organoids cloned human individuals? An ethical analysis

In recent years, there has been much ethical debate about human brain organoid research. However, the possibility that human brain organoids might be human individuals has not been examined. This is an important issue because if human brain organoids are human individuals, then the creation of human brain organoids could be a form of human reproductive cloning. We examine the implications of two mainstream bioethical views on the nature of human individuals for human brain organoids: (1) Functional Integration Theory, the view that the capacity to integrate vital functions is the criterion for human individuality, and (2) Mental State Theory, the view that some mental capacity is the criterion for human individuality. We find that under either theory of human individuality, human brain organoids could be human individuals in the future. According to a version of Functional Integration Theory that locates the integrative function in the human brainstem (Brainstem Theory), a well-developed human brainstem organoid can be a human individual. Further, on Mental State Theory, a human brain organoid with certain mental capacities can be a human individual. Our results, combined with the ban on human reproductive cloning, may provide some reasons to be more cautious in human brain organoid research. Alternatively, in light of the progress in human brain organoid research, it may be necessary to reconsider the ethics and laws surrounding human reproductive cloning. This research paves the way for the first time to examine the question of great ethical importance whether human brain organoids can be human individuals, and encourages further consideration.

Impact of a program on ethics of public servants in the municipality of Rionegro in Colombia

The research addresses the importance of ethics in public administration, focusing on public servants in the municipality of Rionegro, Colombia. Ethics is presented as an essential element to promote transparency and combat corruption in public management. Despite the fact that the 1991 Constitution establishes ethical principles, their application in practice remains a challenge, with a high level of immorality in public service. The study highlights the diversity of professional profiles in public servants, which hinders consistent ethical management. In addition, it mentions that many civil servants lack political training and understanding of the importance of their role, which contributes to corruption. Ethics, according to the authors, is a key tool for strengthening institutions and regaining public trust. The research evaluated the impact of a professional ethics training program on public servants, finding significant improvements in their ethical knowledge and behavior. It concludes that, although ethics will not solve all corruption problems, it is an indispensable component for strengthening accountability and justice in public administration. It underscores the need to implement continuous training programs that promote ethical values as part of a strategy to improve efficiency and transparency in public institutions.

The Dilemma of Deforestation in Indonesia: The Perspective of Buya Hamka and Quraish Shihab (Comparative Study of Al Misbah Interpretation & Al Azhar Interpretation)

This research is motivated by the increasingly complex environmental problems in Indonesia, such as deforestation, water and air pollution, ecosystem damage, and the significant impacts of climate change. The environmental crisis is not only caused by inappropriate policies, but also by the low public awareness of the importance of preserving nature. In this context, Islamic thought derived from the Qur'an is relevant to provide moral and practical solutions. This study examines the wisdom of two great Indonesian scholars, Buya Hamka and Quraish Shihab, through their tafsir works, Tafsir Al-Azhar and Tafsir Al-Misbah, which contain views on the relationship between humans and nature. This comparative study aims to identify the relevance of the interpretations of the two figures in answering contemporary environmental problems in Indonesia. Although there are differences in methodology in interpretation, both Buya Hamka and Quraish Shihab emphasize the importance of environmental ethics and human responsibility as caliphs on earth. In conclusion, their interpretations not only have theological value, but also provide relevant practical guidelines for addressing environmental challenges in Indonesia.

Ética Militar "mutatis mutandis"

The article discusses the importance of military ethics and how it relates to duty and morality within the Armed Forces.

The author emphasizes that war is an inner struggle, where the battle is won or lost in the soul of each soldier, and that reflecting on the role of the military in society is essential for the future.

Participant Diversity in Stroke‐Related Medical Device Trials: Historical Context and Ongoing Challenges

Despite an acknowledgment of the ethical and clinical importance of recruiting diverse populations into clinical trials, there is a continued underenrollment of patients with diverse demographic characteristics within the field of neurology and more specifically, in stroke‐related device trials. Efforts on the part of the US Congress, the National Institutes of Health, the US Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services over the past several decades have attempted to increase trial participant diversity with varying success. This historical context provides an important lens for analyzing diversity proposals and their bearing on device trials in the field of stroke neurology. Despite economic and logistical challenges, recruitment of appropriately diverse clinical trial populations through policy change and community engagement is critical to continuing to advance health equity goals.

Saudi Postgraduate Students` Ethical Commitment between Awareness and Application of Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Writing

This research explores the extent of ethical awareness among postgraduate students and their commitment to ethical standards when using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in scientific writing (SW). It identifies gaps between what students know about ethics and how they apply this knowledge in their SW, specifically in content generation, analysis, and data handling. The study also evaluates the implications of postgraduate students’ increasing use of AI for academic integrity and the verification of sources, focusing on developing effective strategies and measures to ensure ethical compliance. The study participants comprised 68 male and female students from the College of Education at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. A descriptive survey research design was used: researchers developed a questionnaire to determine postgraduate students’ level of moral commitment between awareness and the application of AI in their dissertations, theses, and research projects. Results indicated that this commitment is moderate. There were no statistically significant differences between the participants` scores due to age, gender, seniority at university, study type, study state, or subject specialization. The study recommends establishing and implementing intensive awareness training programmes for postgraduate students focused on the importance of ethics in using AI in accordance with academic integrity standards. The study also suggests that institutions review and update academic policies to ensure clear ethical principles regarding the use of AI in SW are included.

Enlightened Tribalism

Tribalism is often derided as a morally primitive form of human organization. But for most of human history, people organized themselves into tribes that facilitated collective action and provided their members with a sense of security and identity. In stark contrast, liberal cosmopolitans have promoted the ideal of the world community. They tend to diminish the moral importance of tribal attachments and instead claim that altruism should have a more universal scope. We argue that although tribalism can encourage needless conflict, it can also provide meaning, promote important virtues, and increase the long-run viability of human groups better than liberal cosmopolitanism. We call the view that we endorse “enlightened tribalism.” We end by identifying some of the problems tribalism can create, and distinguishing the kind of tribalism that leads groups of people to flourish from the kinds that lead to unnecessary suffering or self-destruction.

When will people with low moral identity importance support a charitable cause?

PurposeThis research aims to identify how resistant individuals can be persuaded to support a charitable cause. Prosocial acts, like supporting a charitable cause, are an important part of human behavior and yet it is not fully understood how to encourage particularly resistant individuals, like those with low moral identity importance (MII), to support a worthy cause.Design/methodology/approachTwo between-participants experiments examined how those with low MII’s willingness to support a fundraiser is affected by the relative impact they perceive their contribution to have.FindingsThose with low MII are persuaded to support a fundraiser when they believe their contribution will have an impact. Study 1 finds that inducing those with low MII with a high (vs low) self-focus increases their perceptions of their donation’s efficacy, which increases their likelihood of spreading the word about the fundraiser. Study 2 then demonstrates that those with low MII are more likely to spread the word about the fundraiser and to donate when others are donating a low (vs high) amount, and this is mediated by their perceptions of relatively high (vs low) donation efficacy.Originality/valuePrior research has primarily focused on those with high MII. This research contributes to the literature by focusing on donation impact as a strategy to persuade particularly resistant individuals (i.e. those with low MII) to engage in charitable behaviors.

Exploring the foundations of Islamic moral economy: a return to substantive morality

Purpose This paper aims to explore the general flaws in the theorization of Islamic economics, particularly its failure to incorporate substantive morality into its framework. Since a considerable number of Islamic economic studies remain within the bounds of instrumental morality, this paper seeks to propose an alternative understanding of Islamic economics by emphasizing the essential role of Islamic moral economy (IME) through substantive morality. Design/methodology/approach The study critically examines the theorization of Islamic economics through a discursive methodology. The adopted method and strategy allow for the discursive evaluation of conceptual developments within the field of modern Islamic economics. It proposes an authentic definition of IME by outlining its paradigmatic framework of political economy, value system, axiomatic approach and operational principles. Findings Islamic economics has been theorized in a reactive and reflexive manner, aiming to provide an alternative to the neoclassical hegemonic discourse. However, it has largely neglected its inherent moral dimension, focusing instead on instrumental morality and failed to embed substantive morality into its system. By introducing an alternative reading of Islamic economics, this study presents IME as a distinct economic model that centers substantive morality in its theorization. Originality/value This paper contributes to the existing literature by offering a novel perspective on Islamic economics that challenges the prevalent instrumental approach and emphasizes the importance of substantive morality. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding IME as a distinct economic model, thereby enriching the discourse on Islamic economics with an authentic and morally grounded paradigm.

The Role of Photography in Breaking News Events: The Trump Assassination as an Example

This paper explores the role of photography in breaking news events through photographs taken by Evan Vucci during the Trump assassination. Using content analysis, the study analyzed 105 public articles to explore the visual guiding power of photography and how the media uses images to influence public opinion. The study found that photography can quickly attract public attention and influence the emotional level, while media can shape a specific narrative framework through selective display. The life of a news report lies in vividness, truth, and vividness. The same is true of news photography. Capturing real moments with both visual and emotional impact is the best news photo [1]. Meanwhile, it points out the shortcomings of China’s WeChat in reporting, such as ignoring the victims and the deep-rooted causes, and suggests that the media should reflect on the problems in reporting and take social responsibility. The study also offers suggestions for future reporting practices, emphasizing the key role of photojournalism in shaping public perception and the importance of media ethics. The limitation of the study is that the sample mainly focuses on WeChat, with a short timeframe, and future research will expand the sample and deepen the analysis of the audience’s psychological and emotional responses.

Navigating the moral maze: a literature review of ethical values in business process management

PurposeBusiness process management (BPM), as a pillar of information systems (IS) research, has become more complex with the advent of new technologies, emphasizing the need for moral and ethical perspectives. To foster moral behavior and responsible action, including ethical values in IT systems and processes can be a solid option. By incorporating a socio-technical perspective, we are able to analyze the various aspects of BPM and organizational processes and the incorporated values. We find an overall acknowledgment of the importance of values and ethics in BPM.Design/methodology/approachThis publication explores ethical values within BPM through a systematic literature review (SLR). The study aims to identify the ethical dimensions inherent in BPM and their practical implications in process management and task execution. The methodological approach adopted is a SLR (Boell and Cecez-Kecmanovic, 2015), adapting the PRISMA guidelines (Page et al., 2021) to identify 82 articles from 21 top IS journals suggested by Lowry et al. (2013).FindingsA descriptive framework is developed to explain the use and application of ethical values within business processes. This framework enables practitioners and researchers to categorize and understand the various ethical considerations involved in BPM. It provides a structured approach highlighting the interrelation between process perspectives and ethical values, demonstrating how different BPM approaches may have varying ethical implications. We compare past and future research in business processes, identifying areas for further investigation and theoretical development. A historical analysis of values and literature also helps contextualize contemporary discussions on ethics in BPM, shedding light on the evolution of ethical considerations within this domain.Originality/valueOur study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of BPM, highlighting the importance of considering ethical values and socio-technical perspectives in designing and implementing business processes. These findings contribute to understanding the values associated with different types of processes and their employment and highlight potential areas for future research. Our study provides ethics-oriented research in IS with novel insights by examining BPM from an ethical value perspective. We contribute to the BPM literature by examining which values are applied in which process types from which perspective. In addition, our research suggestions provide food for thought for both research streams.

Ethical Dilemma of Earnings Management: Solution or Problem?

This study explores the ethical dilemmas surrounding earnings management, assessing whether earnings management serves as a beneficial strategy or a detrimental practice in the long run. The authors use qualitative methods to analyze literature that highlights both positive and negative aspects. The results show that earnings management can increase firm value in the short term but is contrary to ethical standards. This study emphasizes the importance of professional ethics as a guiding framework for accountants when facing pressure to engage in earnings management. The authors conclude that although earnings management may offer short-term benefits, its negative ethical implications and potential long-term risks outweigh the benefits.
