03:30 PM - 04:30 PMBehavioral Ethics: The Psychology of Moral Behavior Sven Peterson, Vice President, Compliance, Ethics and Regulatory Services, Premera Blue Cross Werner De Bondt, Professor of Finance (emeritus), DePaul University
- How do individuals make ethical choices? We consider the psychological processes that result in ethical decisions and behavior. Our focus is on actual human conduct rather than a priori normative principles elaborated by intellectuals throughout history.
- We also ask how social institutions, e.g., law or regulatory and corporate policies, influence moral functioning. Their effects are often counterproductive.
- Lastly, we explore behavioral interventions (validated by insights from psychology) that foster ethical behavior and have the potential to bring about a culture of service and purpose. We offer examples within a corporate/organizational setting, e.g., nudges that preserve freedom of choice, yet tweak behavior.
