Moral Decision-Making in Organizations
Research on moral decision-making in organizations has expanded significantly over the past few decades. In this review, we build on prior comprehensive reviews on the topic to provide an updated view of the field, based on the latest findings.

An Examination of Mind Perception and Moral Reasoning in Ethical Decision-Making
Recognizing and correcting positive bias
Ethical Learning
In contrast to the view that businesses corrupt and bring out the worst in people, we propose that people's experiences at work can also lead to profound ethical learning and growth, and that organizations can be designed to help workers strive to become their best moral selves.

Does deciding among morally relevant options feel like making a choice? How morality constrains people’s sense of choice
We demonstrate that a difference exists between objectively having and psychologically perceiving multiple-choice options of a given decision, showing that morality serves as a constraint on people's perceptions of choice.

In a series of four experiments, both undergraduate students and a sample of U.S. adults engaged in less unethical behavior (e.g., less lying and cheating) on tasks performed in the morning than on the same tasks performed in the afternoon. This mor…
