“…In this sense, the inclusion of normative and descriptive components is proposed [131], in such a way that they contribute to redefining business conduct, as well as the principles and values with stakeholders [132]. Thus, it is expected that the effect produced in this research context will promote the study of business ethics not only as a tool for project management but also as an end in itself [133].…”

What Is Going on with Stakeholder Theory in Project Management Literature? A Symbiotic Relationship for Sustainability

Nowadays the advance towards sustainability poses a global challenge for modern society as well as for companies. Professionals and academics continually redefine business processes and design management mechanisms in a more appropriate way in order to allow companies to balance economic activity with the environmental and social impact that they generate. Under this complex and dynamic scenario, creating a product, providing a service, or achieving a given result requires a different interpretation of the efficiency paradigm and an adequate socio-environmental intelligence. In the context of project management, sustainability-related knowledge, skills, and suitable tools are necessary to face this challenge. Moreover, its close relationship with stakeholder theory presents an alternative to approach that purpose. This article attempts a systematic review of the literature on stakeholder theory in project management during the past nine years, with the aim of providing a comprehensive view of this relationship, revealing its impact and influence on sustainability, and finding new research paths. We highlight the potential benefits derived from this relationship, either as an instrument for the promotion of corporate social responsibility and inclusive policies, as a means for the generation of shared value and technological innovation, or as a key factor in the strategy and business management of a given project.

“…Nevertheless, research has generally suggested that the presence of a code of ethics is positively related to ethical decision making (Loe et al 2000;O'Fallon and Butterfield 2005;e.g. Kaptein 2011;McKinney et al 2010;Pflugrath et al 2007). Thus, the following hypothesis is formulated:…”

The Role of Individual Variables, Organizational Variables and Moral Intensity Dimensions in Libyan Management Accountants’ Ethical Decision Making

This study investigates the association of a broad set of variables with the ethical decision making of management accountants in Libya. Adopting a cross-sectional methodology, a questionnaire including four different ethical scenarios was used to gather data from 229 participants. For each scenario, ethical decision making was examined in terms of the recognition, judgment and intention stages of Rest's model. A significant relationship was found between ethical recognition and ethical judgment and also between ethical judgment and ethical intention, but ethical recognition did not significantly predict ethical intention-thus providing support for Rest's model. Organizational variables, age and educational level yielded few significant results. The lack of significance for codes of ethics might reflect their relative lack of development in Libya, in which case Libyan companies should pay attention to their content and how they are supported, especially in the light of the under-development of the accounting profession in Libya. Few significant results were also found for gender, but where they were found, males showed more ethical characteristics than females. This unusual result reinforces the dangers of gender stereotyping in business. Personal moral philosophy and moral intensity dimensions were generally found to be significant predictors of the three stages of ethical decision making studied. One implication of this is to give more attention to ethics in accounting education, making the connections between accounting practice and (in Libya) Islam. Overall, this study not only adds to the available empirical evidence on factors affecting ethical decision making, notably examining three stages of Rest's model, but also offers rare insights into the ethical views of practising management accountants and provides a benchmark for future studies of ethical decision making in Muslim majority countries and other parts of the developing world.

Malaysia has the ambition to be a developed country by 2020. The goal of creating a cohesive, united, and ethical community is accentuated in the country's Eleventh Malaysia Plan that is part of the nation's endeavour in becoming a developed nation. There are several guidelines and codes issued by government organisations that regulate or encourage the self-regulation of television advertisements in Malaysia. This study uses framing theory that, according to the literature, refers to the attributes selected on a particular issue that form a narrative making them more salient than others. Framing theory is often used in studies on news stories. This study took on a different stance as it examined the television advertising regulatory framework in Malaysia instead of news stories. There is a research gap with the dearth of previous studies on regulations, culture, religion and framing. The study was with the aim of identifying frames that represent Malaysian and Malay Muslim values. It is a significant study as it contributes to current literature, uncovers how the government guides television advertising for the diverse Malaysian audience and provides a better understanding of the framework in relation to nation building in Malaysia. Five frames were generated from the framework examined and evidence was gathered from the Qur'an and Sunnah. The study finds that the frames generated represent the balance between the moral and material dimensions of life underscoring the concept of wasatiyyah that defines the moderate lifestyle in Islam.
