How do humans make ethical
decisions? 3:30 –
4:30 pm
Samuel H. Cassidy, JD, Professor, University of
Denver, Daniels College of Business, Department of Business Ethics and
Legal Studies and Former Lt. Gov. of Colorado
Ethical decisions are among the most difficult we make in both our
professional and personal lives. These decisions involve conflict
between two or more positive values at times. Do we lay off 1000
employees to enhance short term profitability for shareholders (a
positive value) even though it causes hardship to employees who might
have been spared (treating employees well is also a positive value) Do I
risk a marriage for personal growth? (both positive values) Another
reason these decisions are so complex is because deeply held values are
not just a rational thought process. Basic values such as personal
freedom, justice, and competition have a strong emotional component. Our
rational mind may know the right thing to do but we succumb to the
subconscious emotional need triggered by the situation. The more
important is the decision the higher is the emotional impact. Some of
these deeper emotional needs demand that we conform to group consensus
even when we know the group is acting unethically.
We have long taught ethics as though rational thought processes held
all of the keys to human behavior. New psychological studies tell us
that motivation, leadership and ethical decision making are very
strongly impacted by emotions and to be effective at these critical
skills we must understand human behavior at a much deeper level. In this
talk we will explore the wealth of new science on these issues and begin
a learning process essential to human interaction.
