The Subject

Higbee (1969, 1974) suggested the conflicting findings on the relative effectiveness of strong vs mild threat may result from arousal of two different kinds of fear by the messages used in research on threat appeal. One type of fear (nausea-type) is aroused by gruesome, vivid descriptions; the other fear (concern-type) is more related to the likelihood that the subject will experience the threat. In research reported here, subjects exposed to nausea-type threat expressed more aggression than subjects exposed to concern-type threat. These results support Higbee's suggestion that nausea-type threat and concern-type threat are different. Indirectly, they support the hypothesis that the conflicting findings are, in part, the result of unequivalent operations for the concept “threat” by different investigators.

This study aims to test the influence of pay scheme and gender on managers’ ethical judgements in regards to overinvestment in corporate social responsibility. Drawing from atribution theory, this study predicts that managers with different payscheme and different gender will accordingly make different ethical judgements on overinvestment in CSR. The data were collected by conducting a quasi-experimentation. The results of this study show evidence that managers with overinvestment hindering payscheme (a payscheme that gives managers no incentive to overinvestment in CSR) are more likely to consider overinvestment in CSR as more unethical than those with overinvestment inducing payscheme. The results also show that gender has no influence on manager’s ethical judgement on overinvestment in CSR. This study contributes to management accounting and accounting ethic literature by identifying how the role of payscheme and gender influence ethical judgement on overinvestment in CSR.

Ethical Conflicts

This article explores the "ethical labour" of suspension––the conscious effort of deferring one's ethical judgement and reflections in order to avoid irreconcilable ethical conflicts between one's present activities and long-term goals. While people engage in ethical judgement and reflections in everyday social interactions, it is the laborious aspect of regulating one's ethical dispositions that I highlight in the concept of "ethical labour." Although it cannot be directly commodified, ethical labour is a form of labour as it consumes energy and is integral to the performance of other forms of labour, particularly intimate and emotional ones. This formulation of ethical labour draws on my long-term ethnographic research with a group of young women migrants working as hostesses in high-end nightclubs in southeast China. Many of them perform socially stigmatized work with the goal of contributing to their family and saving money for a dignified life in the future. Ethical labour is essential to their hostess work because it enables them to juggle multiple affective relationships and defer the fundamental ethical conflict. They express ethical labour through the phrase "to be a little more realistic," making sure that they obtain what they want at a particular moment. But ethical labour does not simply mean pushing ethical questions aside. It is sustained by conscious effort and is overshadowed by fears of ageing and failure to achieve long-term life goals. Prolonged ethical labour often fails to resolve ethical conflict and may intensify one's stress. My analysis of these women migrants' situation contributes to the sex-as-work debate regarding women's agency in work and their subjection to exploitation.

This chapter sets out a framework for analyzing the relative culpability of the breach of trust represented by willfully insincere and/or epistemically negligent discourse. Given that blameworthiness is usually linked with intentionality, the chapter begins by arguing in favor of culpable ignorance. After illustrating why an analysis of the degree of culpability is necessary for the framework, it is argued that we can best establish degree of culpability by considering the gravity of the breach of trust involved. Nine contextually based trust-related dimensions are proposed (e.g. the vulnerability of the hearer, the institutional power of the speaker, and the perceived harm that might result from the untruthful discourse), and it is suggested that the ethical breach might be aggravated or attenuated accordingly. Finally the chapter considers further aggravating and mitigating circumstances that need to be taken into account when making a final ethical judgement of the discursive act of untruthfulness.
