16140: Moral Foundation and Self-Worth in Managerial Education: Role in Sustainability, Ethical Leadership

The PDW is meticulously planned, starting with exploring the need for moral foundations in managerial education for sustainability and ethical leadership development. The workshop delves into current literature on moral frameworks, such as moral cleansing, consistency, and licensing, examining their application in organizational decision-making, CSR, and the dark side of CSR. It discusses how these frameworks can support the development of sustainable practices, focusing on their actual sustainability practices. It aims to explore the relevance of these moral foundations and frameworks in the context of business ethics, emphasizing their role in fostering ethical, responsible, and sustainable leadership in today's complex, ever-evolving business landscape. This workshop combines a panel of academic and practitioners' viewpoints through dialog and real-world examples. This PDW seeks to engage participants in teaching and motivating management education by analyzing Moral Foundation Theory (MFT) and moral self-worth frameworks. The program aims to build ethical leaders who are conscious of moral dilemmas and empowered to make responsible and sustainable choices by integrating frameworks like MFT and moral self-regulation.
