The main aim of this proposal is to provide a meaningful alternative to some of the problems and limitations concerning the basic assumptions behind the most influential ethical theories informing business ethics in the West; notably deontology, developed by Kant and consequentialism, with Bentham and J.S. Mill as the major theorists . In fact, both approaches have been charged to be inadequate to address systemic issues such as social inequality (Tanzler et al. 2012), environmental issues (Persson 2009) and individual loss of meaning (Seidman 1983) of which the Neo-liberal West is author as well as recipient, because of their overemphasis on individual rationality and the assumption that moral judgements are somehow derivable, like deductible math problems (Hamington and Sander-Staudt 2011, p. ix) . Starting from the conception of individuals as moral being qua rational beings, this emphasis looks at moral dilemmas from the stance of the highest principles and takes rights and obligations as a means of establishing relationships (Sevenhuijsen 2000, p. 10), resulting in situations where someone's legitimate needs will be restricted because of higher moral principles or because their needs have been sacrificed for the greater good. In addition, because of the excessive egotistical stance, the Western ethical standpoint has been deemed as partly responsible for the environmental crisis, as it devalues animals, plants and ecosystems (Malachowski 2001, p.46). The proposed research intends to provide an alternative way of thinking about business ethics in the West taking as a starting point the close link between the care ethics, and the concept of compassionate leadership, which is based on the Buddhist core principle of compassion. The objective is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the extent to which compassionate leadership is practised in a Western context and what is the impact on stakeholders such as employees and civil society organisations.

这一建议的主要目的是提供一个有意义的替代方案，以解决西方最有影响力的伦理理论背后的基本假设的问题和局限性，这些伦理理论为商业伦理提供了信息;特别是康德发展的义务论和结果主义，边沁和J. S.穆勒作为主要的理论家。事实上，这两种方法都被指责不足以解决社会不平等等系统性问题（Tanzler等人，2012年），环境问题（2009年）和个人意义的丧失（塞德曼1983），新自由主义西方是作者和接受者，因为他们过分强调个人理性和假设道德判断是可以推导的，比如可扣除的数学问题（Hamington and Sander-Staudt 2011，p. ix）。这种强调从作为理性存在的道德存在的个人的概念出发，从最高原则的立场来看待道德困境，并将权利和义务作为建立关系的手段（Sevenhuijsen 2000，第10页），导致某人的合法需求因更高的道德原则或因为他们的需求已被牺牲而受到限制的情况。此外，由于过度的自我主义立场，西方的伦理观点被认为是造成环境危机的部分原因，因为它贬低了动物，植物和生态系统（Malachowski 2001，p.46）。拟议的研究旨在提供一种思考西方商业伦理的替代方式，以关怀伦理与基于佛教核心原则的同情心的同情心领导概念之间的密切联系为出发点。我们的目标是全面了解在西方环境中实行富有同情心的领导的程度，以及对员工和民间社会组织等利益相关者的影响。
