Ethically Challenged Strategic Management: Conceptualizing Personality, Love for Money and Unmet Goals

Abstract

The environment in which the organizations operate has underwent tremendous changes and as a result, ethical orientation and corresponding behaviours has been a center of attention worldwide. A plethora of studies have been undertaken to investigate organizational ethical behaviour either from a psychological perspective or external environmental perspective separately. However, ethical orientation and behaviours can also be influenced by a combination of aforesaid factors together with push and pull factors. Hence, it is an attempt of this article to investigate this phenomenon to produce a holistic understanding of the issue. In view of this, this article discusses and offers a conceptual framework which establishes a link between big five personality traits (psychological factor), ethical behavior (environmental factor), love for money (pull factor) and unmet goals (push factor). In order to contextualize this study, the article offers supporting literature for the proposed framework.
