Exploring mechanisms that lead unethical behaviors and searching possibilities of constructing ethical cultures in organizations

这项研究对导致日本组织道德破产的潜在机制进行了探索、理论和实证验证。作者借鉴了现象学、哈伯马斯话语伦理学和福柯谱系学等多种方法论，提出了一种新的概念，这有助于对不道德行为的评估。为了确立一般理论地位，尽量省略了民族文化对犯罪的贡献。然后将概念化应用于一些案例，以显示抽象概念的语境化。研究结果发表在《管理研究杂志》2002年第39卷和《商业伦理学杂志》2002年第38卷上。在这项研究中，作者还从理论上推测了解构非道德文化和制度的可能性，并提出了重构组织中道德文化的想法。他提出了“反身性”，这是法国和德国社会理论和哲学的学者们发展和讨论的主要概念之一。主要观点发表在《新全球系统》的《亚洲和欧洲》(编辑过的书)和《组织科学学术协会官方期刊》(2004年，第37卷)上。

This study explored, theorized, and empirically verified underlying mechanisms that led ethical bankruptcies in Japanese organizations. The author drew on multiple methodologies including phenomenology, Habermasian discourse ethics, and Foucaultian genealogy to offer a new conceptualization, one that aided in the assessment of unethical practices. The contributions of national culture to the crimes were omitted as much as possible to establish a position of general theory. The conceptualization was then applied to examine some cases to show the contextualization of abstract concepts. The results were published at Journal of Management Studies, 2002, Vol.39, and Journal of Business Ethics, 2002, Vol. 38.In this study, the author also theoretically speculated the possibility of deconstructing unethical cultures and institutions and proposed the ideas of reconstructing ethical cultures in organizations. He advanced "reflexivity," one of major concepts evolved and discussed among the academicians of French and German social theories and philosophies. The major ideas were published at Asia and Europe in New Global System (edited book) and Soshiki Kagaku (the official journal for the Academic Association for Organizational Science, 2004, Vol. 37).
