“…Lateral learning does not figure prominently in the CSR literature, though recently some have referred more broadly to intra‐firm knowledge transfer of moral reasoning (Kulkarni & Ramamoorthy ). Our study supports the conclusions reached by knowledge management theory: that socialization matters insofar as it facilitates knowledge exchange (Bresman et al .…”

This article aims to advance the discussion of how multinational companies manage the tension between global integration and local responsiveness in their corporate social responsibility (CSR). In particular, it studies the relationships between headquarters and subsidiaries in a transnational CSR strategy and the types of coordination mechanisms used. Building on a qualitative study of a multinational bank, we find that in addition to formal and informal coordination mechanisms, a transnational CSR strategy cannot be fully understood without considering lateral learning and participatory decision making. Further, we suggest that discussions about the transnational approach to CSR should not be disentangled from the question about a company's CSR orientation. Finally, we propose some characteristics of transnational CSR and discuss its theoretical and practical implications.

“…We draw from Kohlberg's () conceptualization of moral development, which remains one of the most widely referenced theories in the field of moral development and moral reasoning (e.g., Kulkarni and Ramamoorthy, ; Maclagan, ; Weber, ). The value of Kohlberg's approach lies in its identification of the “reason why” certain actions are perceived as preferred, or morally just.…”

“…Managers' moral reasoning has significant consequences for their decision‐making abilities, especially in situations involving ethical dilemmas (Falkenberg, ; Monga, ; O'Fallon & Butterfield, ). Moral reasoning refers to the cognitive processing of information related to ethical dilemmas (Treviño & Youngblood, ) and has long been regarded as the principal determinant of a person's ethical and moral behavior (Kulkarni & Ramamoorthy, ; Weber & McGivern, ).…”

Given the comprehensive influence of mindfulness on human thought and behavior, and the importance of moral reasoning in business decisions, we examine the role of mindfulness as an antecedent to moral reasoning through two studies. In Study 1, we propose and test a theoretically derived model that links mindfulness and moral reasoning, mediated by compassion and egocentric bias using a survey design. In Study 2, we examine whether mindfulness training enhances moral reasoning using an experimental design with graduate students of business management. The findings of Study 1 substantiate the positive association of mindfulness with moral reasoning. We found that this relationship is fully mediated by compassion and egocentric bias. The results of Study 2 suggest that mindfulness meditation training has a positive impact on individuals' states of mindfulness, compassion, and moral reasoning, and decreases egocentric bias.We relate the findings of the study with contemporary neurological research and discuss the theoretical, pedagogical, and managerial implications.

“…Proponents of organizational compassion assert that contemporary organizations need more human‐centric administrative models in which feelings of relatedness and belonging are more prominent (Rynes et al . , Kulkarni & Ramamoorthy ). Such scholars argue that while justice is important, it should not come at the expense of organizational members’ emotional well‐being (Rawls , Barry , Miller ).…”

An integrative conceptualization of organizational compassion and organizational justice: a sensemaking perspective

Organizational scholars tend to view justice and compassion as incompatible. While both have important functions in organizational life, compassion's affective elements appear difficult to synthesize with the reasoning and impartiality that underlie the concept of justice. We draw on theoretical arguments from the sensemaking perspective to argue that we can integrate organizational compassion and organizational justice conceptually because both are inherently dynamic processes that rely on emotional and cognitive components, and both are shaped by the social context of the organization. Based on this integrative conceptualization, we propose a construct we call 'compassionate organizational justice', in which compassion becomes an integral element of an organization's justice requirements and members' fairness perceptions, and that those justice perceptions in turn inform future instances of organizational compassion.
