Morality at Work

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2024-2025 Catalog. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

In this course, we will review fundamental principles of moral psychology and apply these principles to organizational contexts. Drawing from real-world cases, such as the Ford Pinto recall (1978), the "McLibel" case (1997), and the Enron scandal (2001), we will explore questions such as: How do organizations balance concerns with social responsibility and profit? What psychological biases contribute to organizational corruption? How do you create an ethical organizational culture? Course materials will consist of a mix of primary research papers, popular media articles, cases, and multimedia content.
