Abstract

This research provides accounting-ethics authors and administrators with a benchmark for accounting-ethics research. While Bernardi and Bean (2010) considered publications in business-ethics and accounting’s top-40 journals this study considers research in eight accounting-ethics and public-interest journals, as well as, 34 business-ethics journals. We analyzed the contents of our 42 journals for the 25-year period between 1991 through 2015. This research documents the continued growth (Bernardi & Bean, 2007) of accounting-ethics research in both accounting-ethics and business-ethics journals. We provide data on the top-10 ethics authors in each doctoral year group, the top-50 ethics authors over the most recent 10, 20, and 25 years, and a distribution among ethics scholars for these periods. For the 25-year timeframe, our data indicate that only 665 (274) of the 5,125 accounting PhDs/DBAs (13.0% and 5.4% respectively) in Canada and the United States had authored or co-authored one (more than one) ethics article.

Abstract

After the American Revolution, educational opportunities expanded with the growth of the new democracy, especially in New England and the Middle Atlantic states. For example, policymakers and the public responded to the broadening of white male suffrage in the early 19th century by increasing the number of public and private schools. Americans also believed that women also needed to be more literate so that mothers could help in the education of their children. By the eve of the Civil War, schooling was almost universally available for the white population everywhere except in the South. There, poverty and lower population density still hindered the expansion of schools (Kaestle, 1983; Kaestle & Vinovskis, 1980).

Abstract

This chapter focusses on the ethical issues raised by different types of surveillance and the varied ways in which surveillance can be covert. Three case studies are presented which highlight different types of surveillance and different ethical concerns. The first case concerns the use of undercover police to infiltrate political activist groups over a 40-year period in the UK. The second case study examines a joint operation by US and Australian law enforcement agencies: the FBI’s operation Trojan Shield and the AFP’s Operation Ironside. This involved distributing encrypted phone handsets to serious criminal organisations which included a ‘backdoor’ secretly sending encrypted copies of all messages to law enforcement. The third case study analyses the use of emotional artificial intelligence systems in educational digital learning platforms for children where technology companies collect, store and use intrusive personal data in an opaque manner. The authors discuss similarities and differences in the ethical questions raised by these cases, for example, the involvement of the state versus private corporations, the kinds of information gathered and how it is used.

Abstract

Purpose

Mentoring of junior faculty members (i.e. professors) in higher education has been documented to be critical to their academic success which most often takes the form of receiving tenure and/or promotion to higher academic ranks at universities in the USA. A “junior faculty member” would be defined as someone who has not yet been tenured or promoted and is usually within the first five years of their academic appointment. However, mentoring relationships can sometimes be difficult to build and momentum for continuous mentoring throughout the pre-tenure period can be a challenge to maintain. One of the concerns identified by mentees is the importance of regular meetings with mentors and the concomitant difficulty of knowing what to address in these meetings so as to make them productive and helpful. Mentors, most often senior faculty members, note that they do not always know the most relevant issues to discuss with junior faculty during mentoring meetings. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach

In an effort to address these issues, the authors describe here the development of using creative technology to support a new mentoring system that provides structured prompts and reminders to both mentors and mentees and uses tools to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the mentoring relationship.

Findings

This paper highlights a pilot program, describing the rationale for and stages in the development of an e-mail-based and mobile-based program to improve the quality of mentoring for junior faculty at one higher education institution. Focus group data provided by stakeholders (e.g. faculty, department chairs, and associate deans) are provided.

Originality/value

Professional development and academic success for junior faculty members may be strengthened by greater attention to formal mentoring strategies such as the one described here.

Abstract

Libraries are usually thought of as havens of quiet. In fact, however, they have a long history of encounters with disturbed and potentially violent patrons. Surveys the history and incidence of workplace violence generally and then focuses on violence and inappropriate behaviour in libraries in particular. Demonstrates that virtually all instances came from users rather than from staff. Provides an analysis of different types of public and publicly‐owned buildings and highlights the specific features of public access that render staff more vulnerable. Also highlights the dilemma between the ethos of public service, on the one hand, and the need for both security and discipline, on the other. Provides suggestions as to how this balance can be achieved.

Abstract

Because of the volatile business environment, organizations are in a state of unprecedented change, which numerous observers have called chaos. Under current, unstable, perhaps chaotic, conditions, there is a window of opportunity for human resources (HR)/change leader professionals to step up to areas of conflict, chaos, and confusion in organizations. The opportunity currently available to HR professionals is obviously open to all stakeholders in organizations. Eventually someone will claim this opportunity. In changing, unpredictable, chaotic organizations, the HR groups stand out as likely claimants because of their generally applicable skill sets. However, this is a new, confrontational leadership role that HR personnel have not filled in the past. Some HR personnel will not be interested, some will not have what it takes. HR stars will definitely be “in the gate” and have what it takes. This paper describes how HR stars behave, and what they can accomplish in chaotic organizations.
