To improve ethical behavior, we build ethics codes, conduct ethics training and emphasize an ethical “tone at the top.” Research shows, though, that these traditional initiatives too often harm ethical reasoning more than they help. We inaccurately predict how people will respond to behavioral initiatives and teach ethics using ineffective approaches. This class explains what actually works in the real world and what doesn’t. Learn why we make choices that contradict our own ethical beliefs and why we falsely recollect our decisions as being ethical when they were not. Attendees will be able to apply new knowledge to improve future ethical behavior at the individual and organizational levels.
