This book explores how the ethically inconsistent behaviour in
workplaces can be rooted in moral fibers of the decision-makers,
and/or in their varying moral foci depending on the philosophical
cornerstones, on which those rest. It explores further whether such
decisions may be shaped or modified by contextual factors leading,
possibly, to bounded ethicality. Based on a primary survey
approaching the academicians, administrators, and other
service-holders from India and abroad, it analyses the problem, its
determinants and variations across socio-economic and demographic
factors.
This book focuses on emotional intelligence, which has emerged as a
factor in superior on-the-job performance and ability to lead an
effective life. Based on an emerging country, namely India, the
book deviates from traditional approaches by focusing on
non-cognitive rather than cognitive skills to explain and predict
performance and achievements. It finds that those with strong
intrinsic non-cognitive skills, like trustworthiness,
conscientiousness, adaptability, initiative and commitment have a
better chance of becoming effective leaders with enhanced
service-orientation, empathy and conflict management skills -traits
desired by any organization striving for efficiency. It also
demonstrates that while such imponderable, intrinsic skills matter,
they cannot replace discernible psycho-social factors and hence,
effective hiring strategies must focus on behavioural competence
along with cognitive skills. The book also discusses organizations'
desire to ensure a working environment that is vibrant and positive
in an attempt to prevent unconstructive or disruptive factors and
to ensure improved performances over time. The book is a valuable
resource for corporate personnel, as well as for researchers and
practitioners in the field.
