RESUMEN La ética enfocada propiamente en las organizaciones denota el punto fundamental para tomar decisiones. Se desprende un paradigma del cual nacen implicaciones directas e indirectas cuya repercusión es permanente. El objetivo del presente artículo recae en determinar la incidencia de los dilemas éticos en la toma de decisiones gerenciales. Para ello se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica de acuerdo a criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos en las bases de datos de Redalyc y SciELO. Se extrajeron 816 artículos relacionados con el tema, seleccionados 18 para la revisión y aplicación. De los cuales se pudo concluir que la toma de decisiones en las organizaciones es de vital importancia y se encuentra profundamente relacionada a las características éticas con las que cuenta el Director/a organizacional. Los dilemas éticos infieren en la toma de decisiones debido al dilema moral que estos representan. Siendo así que, los dilemas mencionados forman parte de una contradicción entre la praxis y formación deontológica del representante de la organización, por lo tanto, es indispensable considerar las acciones y los efectos que implican directamente al desenvolvimiento de la empresa. Los gerentes de las organizaciones son encargados de tomar las decisiones, por ende sobre ellos recae la responsabilidad de cualquier actividad que se realice. Finalmente la toma de decisiones éticas tiene una relación intrínseca con la reputación e imagen ante el mercado. PALABRAS CLAVE: ética; organización educativa; decisiones; gerencia. ETHICAL DILEMMAS IN DECISION-MAKING IN EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: MANAGEMENT PARADIGMS ABSTRACT Ethics focused properly on organizations denotes the fundamental point to make decisions. A paradigm emerges from which arise direct and indirect implications whose impact is permanent. The objective of this article is to determine the incidence of ethical dilemmas in management decision making. For this, a bibliographic search was carried out according to inclusion and exclusion criteria in the databases of Redalyc and SciELO. We extracted 816 articles related to the topic, selected 18 for review and application. The way in which the decision of the organizations can be made is of vital importance and is found in the ethical characteristics with which the Organizational Director counts. The ethical dilemmas infer in the decision making due to the moral dilemma they represent. Thus, the dilemmas become part of a contradiction between the practice and deontological training of the representative of the organization, therefore, it is essential for the actions and the effects that directly imply in the development of the company. The managers of the organizations are responsible for making decisions, for example, on the responsibility of any activity that becomes a reality. Finally, ethical decision making has an intrinsic relationship with reputation and image before the market. KEYWORDS: ethical; organization; decision; management.

Professional Codes Of Ethics

The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the decision making processes of public school superintendents and to identify those factors that influenced decision making. Ethics education/training, professional experience and professional codes of ethics were considered as possible influencing factors. Thus, this study sought to answer how superintendents' perceive ethics education/training and professional experience influence their ethical decision making. This research further examined the use or non-use of professional codes of ethics by public school superintendents and the perceived impact these codes have on administrative decision making. This study collected data from 10 public school superintendents throughout nine regions in Missouri. Superintendents were recruited based on variety in school district size and type. Both male and female superintendents participated in the study. Research data was obtained via personal interview with the participants. Findings concluded that professional experience was by far the greatest perceived influence on study superintendents' decision making. In contrast, both ethics education/training and professional codes of ethics had little, if any, perceived impact on the ethical decision making processes of study superintendents.

Care And Justice

While the ethic of care has generally been regarded as an appropriate attitude for nurses, it has not received equal attention as a mode of ethical problem solving. The primary nursing model is expected to be aligned with the ethic of care because it emphases the nurse–patient relationship and enables more independent role for nurses in decision-making. The aim of this study was to examine nurses’ ethical decision-making in the context of primary nursing. Participants were seven nurses, and one physiotherapist from a geriatric rehabilitation unit of a public hospital in Finland. Data were collected through focus group interviews and qualitatively analyzed through Lyons’ coding scheme for moral orientations. The results showed that primary nurses employ empathic understanding and particularistic thinking when building relationships with patients and their families, and when assessing their needs for coping at home after discharge. Most ethical conflicts were related to discharge and were solved through balancing the ethics of care and justice considerations. It is concluded that care and justice are integrated in nurses’ everyday ethical decision-making. The ethic of care nurtures good patient–nurse relationships, while the ethic of justice is needed to address the fair delivery of care in the context of an aging population and diminishing public resources. Both ethics should be acknowledged in clinical practices and included in ethics education.

Decision Making Framework

In the aftermath of the accounting scandals of the early 2000s, the accounting profession experienced increased legislation and rules regulating ethical behavior of professional accountants and accounting firms. This paper considers ethics education for professional accountants (particularly Certified Public Accountants (CPAs)) and concludes that there is a need for a broader, principles-based approach to continuing professional ethics (CPE) in the United States. This conclusion is supported by the recent trend toward principles-based global ethics standards and a review of the current professional standards and CPE requirements for ethics education for CPAs. We present tools, such as listing core values, creation of a personal mission statement, and the utilization of a comprehensive ethical decision-making framework, that can be incorporated into ethics CPE courses for CPAs, ethics education in academic programs, and ethical decisions in practice. We also present results from a survey about ethical dilemmas distributed to a sample of CPAs taking CPE ethics courses. Consistent with our expectations, we find that for ethical dilemmas in which professional standards more clearly apply and the facts were less ambiguous, the CPAs in the sample responded with higher average levels of ethicality and more agreement than for ethical dilemmas when professional standards were not as applicable and facts were more ambiguous. Finally, the paper demonstrates how a comprehensive ethical decision-making framework may be applied to ethical dilemmas, particularly those that cannot be satisfactorily resolved using a rulesbased approach and makes recommendations for future research.

Abstract. Based on responses from 158 reward managers located at the headquarters or subsidiaries of multinational enterprises, the present study examines the relationship between the centralization of reward management decision making and its perceived effectiveness in multinational enterprises. Our results show that headquarters managers perceive a centralized approach as being more effective, while for subsidiary managers this relationship is moderated by the manager’s role identity. Referring to social identity theory, the present study enriches the standardization versus localization debate through a new perspective focusing on psychological processes, thereby indicating the importance of in-group favoritism in headquarters and the influence of subsidiary managers’ role identities on reward management decision making.

Ethics Course

This paper was written based on part of the findings of a survey made on young lawyers who are practicing in the state of Kedah. Young lawyers are advocates and solicitors with less than seven y ears of active practice. The objective of this study is to determine what factors positively influenced young lawyers' ethical decision making. Data was collected from /33 young lawyers who are practicing in the state of Kedah between January - June 2006 through self-administered and close- end questionnaires. The finding suggests that knowledge in professional legal ethics gained at the law faculty, pupil age and short ethics course does not contribute much to the ethical decision making of the young lawyers. Moved by this finding. this paper attempts to discuss the current legal ethics education in Malaysia. The main contention of the writers is their firm belief that the current practice of professional legal ethics education in Malaysia is insufficient and far from being adequate in producing ethical lawyers. Therefore the writers have proposed for professional legal ethics education in Malaysia to be reformed and this proposal serves as the basic premise of this paper.
