“…Hence, transformational solutions are required in different institutions that include the logic of conflicts with ethical components. They consider four types of solutions: synthesis, decomposition, replacement, and combustion (Nielsen and Lockwood 2018). It remains to ratify that applying ethics-based leadership becomes a necessity in teams and organizations as it creates a challenge to status threat and promotes healthier behaviors with higher performance, loyalty, and mutual trust (Zhang et al 2020); similarly, Schuh et al (2019) introduces the "mindfulness leader" as a mediator originating a linkage model with procedural justice leader's performance towards reducing employee's emotional exhaustion and thus, improving their performance; with this mindset, Seele (2018) focuses on the importance of critical thinking as a leader's common denominator to be applied in ethical companies.…”

The new economy and the knowledge-based society brought significant changes in all the areas of our daily lives. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 crisis implicated tremendous transformations in all the domains, on the one hand, threatening the balance of our society and, on the other hand, challenging the dynamic of the new economy development and the rhythm of the societal modernization. In these delicate times, the all-important relationship between ethics, leadership, teamwork, effective communication, productivity, and performance is brought to the attention, in particular, due to its benefits for our society, taking into consideration the pivotal advancement that a well governed relationship of this type could provide to the knowledge-based economy. The present research describes the implication of ethics in leadership, teamwork, effective communication, and productivity, which includes the application of ethical values as university graduates assume the role of each of the mentioned dimensions of study in the organizations. The absence of research that relates ethics to these four elements simultaneously was noticed. This information is essential to know how these dimensions influence the organizational level. The sample that included 410 university graduates was applied in Baja California, Mexico, and the industrial nucleus of great relevance, bordering California in the United States of America. The data was obtained using a questionnaire. A reliability and validity analysis of the measurement instrument was carried out in terms of the ethical values associated with the dimensions mentioned using the exploratory factor analysis by the principal components method. Qualitative items were also analyzed using the constant comparison method. The results obtained in this research provide a greater perspective and practical knowledge and support of usefulness and practical reality to businesspeople and employees, leaders and university graduates; and also extensive to students, teachers, and human beings in general, in order to be better prepared to give and apply solutions with their consequent ethical and productive achievements desired by all. Additionally, this current research has the purpose to raise the will to understand, at a higher level and at a more in-depth degree of knowledge, the relationship between ethics, leadership, teamwork, effective communication, productivity, and performance, in the attempt to foster a creative and innovative business environment, based on a robust and sustainable business administration and business competencies, capable to position at higher ranks the strengths, opportunities, aspirations and outcomes that today’s new economy is due to offer and diminish the dangerous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 crisis in all the domains.

“…The concept has been widely applied to explain the cultural heterogeneity between different cultures (Li and Katsumata, 2020;Liu et al, 2021). The view that heterogeneity of cultural value triggers secondary conflicts in public safety emergencies has been widely recognized by academics in studies related to cross-cultural conflicts (Nielsen and Lockwood, 2016).…”

“…The concept of cultural difference was first proposed by Hofstede ( 1980 ), who categorized culture value into four dimensions “power distance index,” “uncertainty avoidance index,” “individualism-collectivism,” and “masculinity-femininity.” The concept has been widely applied to explain the cultural heterogeneity between different cultures (Li and Katsumata, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ). The view that heterogeneity of cultural value triggers secondary conflicts in public safety emergencies has been widely recognized by academics in studies related to cross-cultural conflicts (Nielsen and Lockwood, 2016 ).…”

This study aims to uncover the relationship among multicultural differences, empathy, and the behaviors of risk prevention and control in the context of crisis events by using a sample of 300 individuals in 10 different multicultural countries. A theoretical logic model was applied to empirical analysis, and the results indicated that cultural differences positively influenced the behavior of empathy communication and risk prevention and control. Further analyses revealed that real-time monitoring of changes in empathy could provide better options of measures for local risk prevention and control when the same crisis event occurred in a multicultural context. With user-generated content (UGC) emerging in the web 2.0 era, this paper proposed a more profound empathy code regarding the periodicity of risk prevention and control. This paper expects to contribute to the circumvention of cognitive errors caused by cultural differences, and to further provide effective conduction for individuals' risk prevention and control behaviors.

“…Third, ethics scholars have called for the integration of ethics and institutional theory to understand logic conflicts (cf. Nielsen & Lockwood, 2018;Nielsen & Massa, 2013). We investigate how tiny house dwellers redefine the logic of their living domicile that conflicts with accepted norms, cognitions, and regulations of consumption.…”

Challenging the Good Life: An Institutional Theoretic Investigation of Consumers’ Transformational Process Toward Sustainable Living

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In pursuit of sustainable living, ethics researchers as well as consumers themselves have challenged the status quo of consumption as an institution. Fueled by global economic, environmental, and societal concerns, responsible consumption has become an integral part of the sustainability and consumption ethics literature. One movement toward sustainability consists of confining living space into a smaller ecological footprint. Although motivations for such a lifestyle have been examined, little research has investigated the process of how members of the tiny house movement reconfigure learned consumption practices. This study investigates tiny house dwellers' transformational experiences through the theoretical lens of contemporary institutional change. Qualitative analysis reveals that these challengers of the status quo face significant normative, regulatory, and cognitive hurdles. However, by engaging in sensemaking, validation, and change agency practices, tiny house dwellers have attempted to legitimize a new way of sustainable living that can be in conflict with existing institutions. Implications and future research are discussed in terms of how examining institutional change processes can be a vital part of ethics and sustainability research. Implications are also provided for how marketing organizations can consider modifying their market offerings to capitalize on this segment of society.
