“…"Peace through Commerce" (Greenwood and Freeman, 2018) is an emerging markets ethical topic area worthy of research when considering conflict zones (Katsos and AlKafaji, 2019). In a country such as Palestine where peace may be an elusive and highly complex goal to study, we might begin with "Legitimacy through Commerce."…”

Purpose Home country support from hardship nation émigrés is an under-researched topic area, particularly pertaining to Palestine which is a comparatively extreme case of oppression and apartheid. The purpose of this study is to examine the nature of this motivation, in context to well-known dynamics of diaspora behavior, to understand individual and situational variables that drive ethical decision-making. Design/methodology/approach This is an exploratory mixed methods field study using self-reported variables. Structural equation modeling was conducted through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Qualitative data is presented through thematic analysis and bracketing. Findings A desire to live in Palestine in the future was not in itself significantly related to a favorable outlook for the country or to a desire to support the nation. Findings indicate that family support and a sense of altruism and hopefulness for the future of Palestine influenced home country nationalism in charitable investments in hospitals, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and educational institutions. Subjects’ direct portfolio investments tended to be primarily real estate and to a lesser degree in business operations. Research limitations/implications The sample size needs to be larger and draw from greater diversity in overseas locations, as well as respondents representing Gaza and Israel locations. Objective outcome variables would be desirous. Social implications Social constructivism theory is applied in understanding the ethical nature of the loyalty of these diasporans. Originality/value The Palestine diaspora is under-researched, particularly individual differences in motives for overseas Palestinians’ support of their ancestral homeland. Some might consider it irrational to desire to return and invest in the nation. Policymakers can benefit from empirical evidence of the type of investment and their rationales. A profile emerges in the respondents’ commitment of financial resources for personal and family real estate. Their direct investments include business ownership, as well as education and health care organizations, impacting the sustainability of this nation.

“…al., 2018). What is not in doubt, however, is the fact that the decline in ethical values always seems to stem from not only ignorance and misconceptions, but also from the criminalization of market act behaviour and wrongful evaluation of money as observed by Greenwood and Freeman (2018).…”

This paper studies the erosion of ethics in credit derivative leading to devastating losses to a financial intermediary, JP Morgan, in a scandal that had one of its protagonists earning the moniker the "London Whale." In the process, the paper suggests that the higher management will have to foresee how the limitations are imposed on the market values of the synthetic credit portfolio to avoid further breaches to be caused in other bank metrics. The accounting sectors will have to consider sub-methods like an integrated financial information system for purposes of accuracy to prevent the London whale from economic depressions.

“…When ethical leaders fairly treat their employees and exhibit a high level of ethical conduct, they provide examples for their employees; create a positive ethical climate and a sense of obligation for their employees to reciprocate similar behaviour (Babalola et al, 2019). Furthermore, employees' perception of their leader's ethics can be seen as a strong predictor of ethical practice (Greenwood et al, 2018). In addition to these informal ways, managing business ethics in organizations includes the following formal components (…”

Background:Research in business ethics shows that individual differences can influence one's ethical behaviour. In addition, variability in attitudes towards ethical issues among different generations is emphasized. Still, results are inconclusive and call for an additional examination of possible generational differences with regard to ethics and ethical values. Objectives: Our objective is to test if the perception of the importance of business ethics, attitudes towards ethical issues and aspects influencing ethical behaviour, differ among the four generations currently present in the workforce. Methods/Approach: Theoretical implications are empirically tested on a sample of 107 individuals, members of Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials and Generation Z. Results: In general, the results indicate that there are little or no generational differences related to the analysed aspects of business ethics. The significant difference is present only in the importance given to factors that influence ethical decision-making: (i) formal rules and procedures, (ii) performance management system and (iii) job pressures, between the members of Generation Z and older generations. Conclusions: In spite of employee diversity, ethics continues to present an important aspect of the business environment. Thus, organizations need to be oriented towards creating ethical leaders and a positive ethical climate that ensures that ethical values and behaviours are present throughout the organization.
