LEIZ Deputy-Director Prof. Dr Carmen Tanner spoke about erosion and (re)activation of ethical values in business. Prof. Tanner explained that moral misconduct is ubiquitous. Such misconduct is caused by structural characteristics of companies and markets as well as regular psychological processes: Scholars are well aware of the many mechanisms that affects the individual’s tendency to follow their “moral compass”. Against this background, Prof. Tanner shared her findings on the role of psychological factors and corporate culture on ethical behavior, and shared her thoughts about how values could be reactivated.
