The Moral Improvement of Managers

Purpose - The purpose of this article is to outline the role of management ethics and manager morality in the practice of management, which requires, in our opinion, to approach wellestablished philosophical concept and theories, due to their profound relevance in making decisions with a major economic and social impact. Methodology/approach - A set of high-profile bibliographical resources are referenced in the approach of the article's most relevant theoretical aspects. Findings - We may accept that we live in times of crisis: the, actual" world seems to have gone astray or completely separated from the spiritual, social and moral reality. Research limitations/implications - Many people today speak about science, politics, religion, culture, economy etc., as if they were completely separate areas, any association between their specific issues, concerns and pursuits being thereby prohibited. Practical implications - It is impossible to devise effective recipes and formulas that can be reasonably expected to yield higher standards of performance in times of crisis. The improvement of moral behavior in business activities represents competitive edge for any organization. Originality/value - Theoretical approaches conveyed in this article may be perceived as a call to mindfulness and to the managers' awareness as to the importance of improving the moral climate of the workplace.
