چکیده

با توجه به اهمیت اخلاق در موفقیت کسب‌وکارها، دانشجویان مدیریت امروز نیازمند درک صحیح از اخلاق و قضاوت اخلاقی در مواجه با مسائل اخلاقی بوده و باید با عوامل فردی و سازمانی موثر بر آن آشنا باشند. جو اخلاقی و ایدئولوژی اخلاقی از جمله عواملی هستند که می‌توانند بر قضاوت اخلاقی تأثیر گذاشته و آن را دستخوش تغییر کنند. درواقع اصول و قواعد اخلاقی سازمان سنگ بنایی برای سبک زندگی افراد هستند که استدلال و قضاوت اخلاقی آنها را در موقعیت‌های چالش‌برانگیز تحت تأثیر قرار می‌دهند ولی این تأثیر می‌تواند با توجه به ایدئولوژی اخلاقی افراد متفاوت باشد. از این ‌رو هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی تأثیر جو اخلاقی بر قضاوت اخلاقی و بررسی نقش واسط ایدئولوژی اخلاقی (آرمان‌گرایی، نسبی‌گرایی) در این تأثیرگذاری است که در میان 309 دانشجوی مدیریت گروه بازرگانی دانشگاه لرستان مورد پیمایش قرار گرفته است. داده‌های گردآوری‌شده از پرسشنامه و سناریوی فروش با استفاده از روش مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری تحلیل‌شده و نتایج حاکی از آن است که جو اخلاقی علاوه بر تأثیرگذاری مستقیم و مثبت بر قضاوت اخلاقی، به‌ صورت غیرمستقیم از طریق آرمان‌گرایی نیز تأثیر مثبتی دارد ولی این تأثیر از طریق نسبی‌گرایی معنادار نمی‌باشد. همچنین جو اخلاقی بر آرمان‌گرایی تأثیر مثبت و بر نسبی‌گرایی تأثیر منفی دارد. آرمان‌گرایی و نسبی‌گرایی نیز به‌ترتیب از تأثیر مثبت و منفی بر قضاوت اخلاقی برخوردارند. پژوهش حاضر با تمرکز بر نقش متفاوت ایدئولوژی اخلاقی در قضاوت‌های اخلاقی به‌ویژه در بین دانشجویان مدیریت که تاکنون از چشم پژوهشگران نادیده گرفته ‌شده است، نوآور بوده و می‌تواند نقش به‌سزایی در حوزه مدیریت ایفا کند.
