From Idea to Action: Promoting Responsible Management Education through a Semester-Long Academic Integrity Learning Project.

The authors describe a semester-long action-learning project where undergraduate or graduate management students learn about ethics, responsibility, and organizational behavior by examining the policy of their college or university that addresses academic integrity. Working in teams, students adopt a stakeholder management approach as they make recommendations for improvements to their school’s academic integrity policy, its dissemination and enforcement. The authors detail their efforts facilitating this project at three universities. As students examine how an ethical conduct policy informs and is informed by individual and organizational behaviors, they come to more deeply understand the social processes through which all manner of responsibility-promoting outcomes are enacted. The approach to learning described in this project promotes students’ internalization of ethical principles and accountability for responsible behavior that is consonant with the core aims and principles of responsible management education.

Exploring the generative potential between positive organizational scholarship and management, spirituality, and religion research

Though conceptually distinct, the fields of positive organizational scholarship (POS) and management, spirituality, and religion (MSR) consider various phenomena in common. In this paper, we address a range of topics that both disciplines explore, as well as topics that are exclusive to one domain but that may inform and enrich the other. We identify shared criticisms that both domains have faced and highlight different paths each field has taken toward establishing legitimacy. Our aim is to identify mutually relevant terrain where MSR research and POS can inform and enrich each other.
