This open access book brings together current childhood research
and contemporary ethical theory to draw attention to how children
depend upon a scope of action for risky play for their mental and
physical development. In many countries, the opportunities for
children to play away from adults' close attention have decreased.
At both school and home, protection and avoidance of harm take
increasing priority. This book draws a distinction between do-good
ethics and avoid-harm ethics to highlight ethical tensions and
dilemmas encountered by professionals who work with children, and
suggests better ways to balance these ethical dimensions in
approaching risky play.

a pervasive feature of working life. Moral Reasoning at Work offers
a fresh perspective on how to live with them using ethics and moral
psychology research. It argues that decision-makers must go beyond
compliance and traditional approaches to ethics to prepare for
moral dilemmas. The second edition has been updated with a range of
examples from the author's more recent research, to reflect current
issues affecting organizations in the digital age. With two new
chapters on artificial intelligence and social media, this new
edition provides an up-to-date overview of ethical challenges in
organizations.
This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This
book addresses how organizations can deal with human fallibility in
order to create space for excellence at work. Some mistakes in work
settings put lives at risk, while others create openings for
innovative breakthroughs. In order to deal constructively with
fallibility, an organization needs a communication climate where it
is normal to voice opinions, admit mistakes, and ask for help in
critical situations. The book builds on interviews with
practitioners in healthcare, aviation, IT, public governance, and
industry. It connects narratives from these fields with theories
from organizational psychology and philosophy, as well as from
positive organizational scholarship. In the final chapter, an
overall ethics of fallibility at work is outlined. Fallibility at
Work contributes to research in multiple academic disciplines, but
also reaches out to practitioners who are interested in the
connections between error and excellence in organizations.
Social media is at the core of digital transformations in
organizations. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media
platforms widen the scope for rapid and effective communication
with stakeholders. They also create a range of new and challenging
ethical dilemmas. This open access book categorizes the dilemmas
organizations across a range of industries can face when they
implement social media to communicate with stakeholders. This book
provides a systematic framework for analyzing these ethical
dilemmas in social media using the Navigation Wheel. This tool
leads the decision-maker through a series of considerations such as
legal questions, corporate identity, morality, reputation, and
ethics. Finally, the author considers implications for leaders and
presents potential solutions to these dilemmas. Based on five years
of original research with 250 executive students at a European
business school, all of whom work with social media communications
in their organizations, this book is the first major study to
explore the ethical use of social media across industries and is a
valuable resource for researchers and practitioners alike.
